Vettel still on soft.

Merc should have committed to the two stop. Med / Med / Soft feels like a better strategy given how much time they're losing on the hards.
Hards not working for Mercedes, they have to pit again for softs.
So Merc in with a shout to do something and still feck it up. Vowels has the easiest gig on earth I swear.
Russell showing decent pace
Perez a bit shit innit
This is bland
Why hard when they don't seem to be working?
He is way out of drs range
Mistake as per usual from Mercedes, a great car has hidden some fairly consistently bad calls in the past.
This isn’t a race now, it’s just a degradation exercise and Red Bull can coast to the end on that medium, race was interesting until the stops and now it’s over.
I was talking about Alpine. Why go so long with Mediums and then put on hard. They could have gone with sod knowing hards were not working for Mercs.
But thanks for the explanation.
Yeah this is so shit.
This is one of the dullest races ever.
Love how Ferrari have just rocked up to this race, detuned their engine and are a casual 40 seconds off the lead.
Need a SC.
The strange thing is that it didn’t seem to impact Bottas [Ferrari engine].
Wtf was that?
This is so DULL
Was hoping for a safety car then but nope it kept going

The most action we've had is the battle for 11th. One of the most boring races in some time.
5 more years at a track that offers nothing, classic F1.
Atleast something happened
Ricciardo with a Verstappen-esque lunge there, that was never his corner!
Might miss his personality but no one in the paddock will be missing Ricciardo’s driving
Ugh Ricciardo was having a decent race, now he's gone and thrown it away. Sad.
The Red Bull and Max are just too good. Perez's tyres will go off first since he's behind Lewis and 2 laps older than Max.
So Mercedes think the mediums will fall off,dramatically and the hards are better.
Not sure I agree.
Not sure I agree.
Bono in denial….but more like he knows if he tells Ham the truth his head will drop.
Bono with a serious amount of Cope there saying they’re on the right tyres 
Russell is actually closing into Perez
The medium will have to fall off a cliff. No way with 15 laps left.
Max has been coasting for half the race
Yeah and the tyres look perfect
Ricciardo is flying
I would be pitting both Mercs for softs, nothing to lose.
Not sure what race are Merc watching
Well, I mean 2nd. No point now, they fecked it, take your 2nd and 4th
from this moment Lewis have to go 1 sec faster a lap to have a chance to win .
Ok they would be come out 3rd and 4th, worth the gamble, if the mediums do fall off.
It absolutely isn’t, if they pit they just lose anyway. They need a well timed SC and that’s it.
