Hamilton isn't much faster on his softer tyres than Max on the yellows.

Best thing he can do is maintain the gap and then be on the faster tyres for the end... 3 DRS zones could negate the dirty air?

Anyone else having sound problems on the broadcast? It's like they have the wrong mic with the wrong cameras.

Yes

Channel 4 or Sky?

But he will be p4 or something if he pits now.

 

[Robin]

Channel 4 or Sky?

CH4, There is like a general drone of the race in the background and sounds that don't match the pictures now and then.

 

[PaMu1337]

Channel 4 or Sky?

Everywhere

 

[baldgye]

But he will be p4 or something if he pits now.

Yup, but with 3 DRS zones it could be all to play for!


Edit: I didn’t mean for him to pit now, but later

The sound in the F2 race this morning was awful. Team Radio was inaudible and the engine sound was not clear at all

Now that you mention it, I notice it.

Lewis pits

Yeah, and then all of a sudden SUPER ENGINE NOSIE

 

[Dennisch]

GO MAX GO!!!! !

It looks like everyone behind Bottas got the advantage of VSC, but by the time Hamilton got round again the VSC had cleared so he'd have lost time by comparison. The question is if the softs will last the distance and if Hamilton's newer softs will give him a laptime advantage at the end.

He actually had the chance... but Merc apparently were scared of RBR or Ferrari splitting strategies.

Which I don't understand. He'd still have net track position if he did pit.

 

[FutureF1]

I reeeeeeally don’t want max to win this... it’ll just bring out the verstappen fans that claim he’s a driving god when he’s mediocre at best...

In other news, Daniel Kvyat has been demoted from his Ferrari reserve driver role

Red Bull 1-2 at the Red Bull Ring

Shortest laps but 43 laps is a long way to go. Nerve breaking

 

[Dennisch]

Goddammit, 45 laps of clenched butt cheeks

 

[niky]

Which I don't understand. He'd still have net track position if he did pit.

A split would mean sacrificing one driver to hold up Lewis.

In hindsight, that might not have happened, but what's done is done.

 

[baldgye]

I still think Lewis can win this

 

[BrainsBush]

Engineer of Lewis already admitted twice they made a faulty decision.

 

[jake2013guy]

A split would mean sacrificing one driver to hold up Lewis.

Lewis wasn't much faster and slower at points when he was on the SS tyre. That plus DRS advantage would probably negate that issue.

 

[Dennisch]

Aaaand Lewis panicking again.

 

[PaMu1337]

Lewis can't deal with not being in the lead.

 

[jake2013guy]

Lewis can't deal with not being in the lead.

You could say the same with every Alonso radio message.

Fernando feels as if he's on the wrong side of the grid.

More like alonsos just sick and tired of mclarens excuses

 

[jake2013guy]

More like alonsos just sick and tired of mclarens excuses

Which he wouldn't do if he was leading.

 

[PaMu1337]

You could say the same with every Alonso radio message.

But Alonso actually has a point.

 

[BrainsBush]

RIC and RAI have to pit for tires. The heat is on!
