If Sainz is smart with his tires he might profit from that battle. Max has done his tires half way through the stint and Charles we will have to see.

Mercedes just casually sitting on their own in this race. Comfortably 3rd place car right now
Hamilton could sneak a podium here if the plan is to one stop him with the hards.
Charles looked in control throughout. Great racing. Max probably too audacious with that last attempt
Is Verstappen on softs now?
Max with brake problems
Come on Carlos, we want P1 and P2 all season long
Come on Carlos, we want P1 and P2 all season long
Yeah, both him and Charles
I agree he is 9 seconds back and just biding his time, Max 's car cant handle what he is doing for the whole race.
Lewis 9 seconds behind Perez, but his pit for hards could have been a very good call
Cheers.
Both of the cars in front of the would have to crash out as they would drive right past them after pit stops
Yes.
Merc’s don’t have any pace, no chance for a podium unless the rest have trouble.
Sainz looking at three stops
It was expected but Mercedes over half a second behind the leaders with less than half the race done, is pretty bad.
That depends on how well the softs last, the hards will start gaining for parts of the race. At the moment he would be around 10 seconds up on 4th if they pitted. Agreed it would be a struggle though.
At least Lewis is used to going round on his own.
McLaren 
only if cars in from of him DNF , the car has no pace, but it only takes 2 in front to drop out, never say never.
wish they would put team logo instead of driver number.
You don't have the graphics to the left?
Need a bigger tv before next race.
Sainz must have made up 5 -7 seconds on Max in the last 5 laps?
I'm watching from Viaplay and they have the logos.
Out side of the 2 mercs the rest of there engines are in the bottom 6
Lewis pitting for mediums, slow stop
the last 6 cars are all Mercedes powered.
Sky go for me , I am at work and they are showing logo's now
Everything is slow for Mercedes. Including the pit stops.
Huge improvement needed.

Lewis i again ?
That was unexpected, expected the hard to last longer, will the mediums last 30 laps

We've got 58" but the truth is I lost my glasses.I've got a 65" but can barely see those letters
Probably not. 3rd stop?
Can't see it
I don't think they care about the points for this race, busy getting data.
Magnussen's softs lasted longer than Hamilton's hards
maybe yes, has he any new softs left? , could be a bit of hammertime last few laps to , well I dont know to be honest.
Bottom 6 all running Mercedes engines , that is a staggering fact.
They've been switching between numbers and logos.
Ferrari need to pit now to cover Max
I know he got spun at the start but Schumacher has a big gap to Magnusson
Max
