I sometimes think GP loves to be shouted at.
Totally saw Max' response coming there 😅

 

[Dennisch]

The radio messages between Max and GP are just great. Like a marriage.

I think Hamilton has a chance for 2nd but this is Max's race. Norris seems to have burned up his tires and I am still confused why he decided to match Verstappen.

If Lewis keeps his tyres somewhat alive he might challenge Max.

 

[Adam41]

Just wanted a battle for the lead, for once. Incompetent Mercedes strats and pit stops. Norris waving through Max because he wears Verstappen pyjamas. Leclerc waving through Max but defending against Lewis.

Inevitable inevitableness.

The mediums may fall off near the end still though

Lando is probably just covering Lewis. It's tough to pass and if Lewis runs out of tires at the end, he should be safe.

That said now that we know Lewis was bound for a 2 stop, they bungled the first stop timing.

 

[Blitz24]

Plan C = stay on track. Plan D = pit. I wonder what Plan A or B were for Ferrari?

 

[Dennisch]

Aaaaaaand Scuderia Pagliacci is back at it.

 

[TumeK5]

Plan C = stay on track. Plan D = pit. I wonder what Plan A or B were for Ferrari?

A = Pit on track
B = Stay in pit

 

[Grayfox]

Plan C = stay on track. Plan D = pit. I wonder what Plan A or B were for Ferrari?

Plan D: new mediums
Plan E: Pit for Soft to get fastest lap point, but lose 5pts in race

Ferrari F1 thinks Plan E is best

Don't forget that Tsunoda entered the pits the lap after Verstappen exited to clear the way. Wasn't picked up on or shown but the left hand side timing showed it. Good old 4 car Red Bull.

Still, I think Mercedes did a decent stategy today. Verstappen isn't even pushing hard, doesn't need to. All this fake swearing by him is really annoying.

Plan F = Retire car.

Plan F = Retire car.

Plan G: Drive backwards to wind back the laps done for everyone.

 

[Bosso]

That was really dangrous by Tsunoda.

 

[Blitz24]

Alonso to retire.

 

[Bosso]

What an overtake by Hamilton.

 

[TumeK5]

Alonso to retire.

2019 flashbacks

 

[Grayfox]

Alonsos car just want burrrr

That was really dangrous by Tsunoda.

Ironic that Stroll is bitching about it being late when he done a late defend last year on Alonso.

 

[Dennisch]

Lando throwing with the door.

Decent? They threw away Lewis' 3s gap over Max and turned it into a 6s loss over the course of like 5 laps. They threw any chance for him to fight for this win on track.

Max has been coasting all year but less so this weekend with a few issues etc.

 

[TumeK5]

Don't count Verstappen out, he's gonna be fast.

Told ya he was just teasing y'all

Simply lovely

 

[Dennisch]

Driver of the day is the Red Bull strategy team.

 

[Bosso]

Yes but the tyre offset gave him more time it seems. His tyres are in much better condition in both stints and allowed him to catch and fight for the lead. Verstappen was always going to be oit of the equation, that Red Bull is too fast and not even going full speed. You can see it with his onboards.

Edit: Also even after the undercut in the 1st round of stops. Mercedes are far too slow at changing tyres anyway. 2.2 vs 3.6 secs lol.

He's certainly being very vocal for someone who already had a good chance of winning this from even past 6th place at the start.

 

[Dennisch]

That gap is shrinking fast though.

 

[Grayfox]

Maxs brakes are screwed.

Maxs brakes are screwed.

Not by wear, but by calibration/feel
