Can Max run these mediums to the end of the race?

Wear is pretty low. He could maybe pull this off

 

[Jimlaad43]

How did Norris end up 15th?

 

[PeterJB]

Can Max run these mediums to the end of the race?

I doubt it. His only lifeline is another red flag, unless Hamilton's under investigation for the second formation lap?

 

[barak181]

Can Max run these mediums to the end of the race?

Probably not. They're probably banking on another crash happening.

 

[Grayfox]

Can Max run these mediums to the end of the race?

Doubtful.
But lewis being behind, trying to pass will destroy his hards.

Another Red Flag or SC will deicide

Or Failure from max.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Wonky gearbox Max?

 

[McLaren]

Used the mediums to benefit off the start, but they got eaten up the first time around.

 

[Grayfox]

Wonky gearbox Max?

Regen mode.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Max's "I have no power" is Lewis' "my tyres are done". I swear I heard that before a few times before.

 

[Roo]

"Loss of power" is the Verstappen version of "Bono, my tyres are gone"

Edit: Great minds and all that, Fat Tyre?

 

[andrea]

What a ****ing battle, riveting.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Not good for Max if Hamilton can keep up on the harder tires.

 

[Rossell2]

My concern is has the third standing start put too much strain on things?

Edit: by things I mean Maxs gearbox.

 

[Jezza819]

Doubtful.
But lewis being behind, trying to pass will destroy his hards.

Another Red Flag or SC will deicide

Yeah Lewis just has to sit back there and make Max push those mediums and maybe Lewis can run the hards to the end.

I was thinking the same thing 😂

 

[Sum1s2pid]

How did Norris end up 15th?

He changed off the softs, and then got boned by two red flags. 😔

 

[Grayfox]

Not good for Max if Hamilton can keep up on the harder tires.

Unless max is managing his tires, plus Benz has straightline power and slipstream

The "so far" aged pretty well, I'd say

 

[barak181]

Tsunoda is saving Max's tires for him.

 

[Jezza819]

That VSC period helped Max a little bit with those mediums.

 

[PaMu1337]

Oof! Alonso gets it quite wrong

 

[Jimlaad43]

That was very un-Fernando

 

[PaMu1337]

Vettel falling apart

 

[Blitz24]

Tsunoda a 5 second penalty.

 

[Grayfox]

Vettels car falling apart

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Alonso is having a terrible race. Good qualifying, but terrible race

 

[PaMu1337]

That debris is not in a great place

 

[Famine]

That debris is not in a great place

"[blank] is not in a great place" is pretty much the definition of this entire venue.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Oof, Vettel having a day. First Tsunoda and then Kimi. 😤
