[Dennisch]

Perez cutting through the field.

 

[Grayfox]

Lewis having radio issues.

 

[Blitz24]

Very slow stop by Lewis.

 

[PaMu1337]

That has to be a 2 stop for Lewis. Wasn't the smoothest stop

Confirmed he's doing 2 stop. I can't see the medium going 50+ laps.

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder how much Bottas will slow max down.

 

[NotThePrez]

Split strategies for Bottas?

 

[PaMu1337]

Wonder how much Bottas will slow max down.

Gap is quite big, I think Bottas will have to stop before Max catches him.
Then maybe Max can get enough distance to have a safe 2nd stop

Edit: he's catching really fast though

They may keep Bottas out even with bad tires to slow down max a little.

Go away tyre performance graphic, nobody likes your inaccurate guesses.

 

[Fat Tyre]

For the sake of the race I hope Bottas doesn't suck at holding Verstappen.

He will most likely be passed on the pit straight with a DRS.

 

[McLaren]

Merc. pace on the yellows doing better for them again than the reds.

Edit* Do the Red Bulls struggle in the dirty air like the Mercs. seem to?

LUL, Bottas is absolutely useless at defending.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Yeah. There's too much speed difference. I was just hoping he would catch Bottas at the wrong turn and would have have to wait a whole lap to do. At least.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Time to pit Bottas and go to the end

 

[PaMu1337]

Oof, that penalty will seriously hurt Russells chances for getting into the points

 

[NotThePrez]

Russell gets a a 5 sec penalty for speeding in the pits...because of course he does.

 

[Grayfox]

Russell gets 5sec penalty for speeding in pit lane

FTFY.

Random fact since we're in the Netherlands today, lul is actually a swearword in Dutch

 

[Jimlaad43]

The return of s🅱️inalla!

 

[Grayfox]

Bottas locked up a little avoiding vettel

 

[NotThePrez]

Hamilton pits early to grab the extra set of Mediums, but gets released into traffic.

Edit: Red Bull responds and puts Hards on Max's car.

 

[PaMu1337]

Lots of traffic in front of him

Edit: hards vs mediums, interesting

 

[McLaren]

30 laps, is Merc. betting on Lewis to put pressure onto Max so that he eats away at the Hards that would easily get him to the end?

More likely for Hamilton to eat his tires away.

 

[NotThePrez]

Mazepin has been retired from the race.

 

[Jubby]

And that's the ballgame, folks, barring anything unusual. Top 6 are pretty much set.

 

[PaMu1337]

Track just got a lot safer

 

[phillgt2002]

This is boring. Gorgeous track, but awful for F1.
