Why is Lewis doing Fastest Lap? The tyres have last another 20 laps, they need to get on the radio and tell him to manage

potential 5s penalty for the yellow flags?

Without the VSC Hamilton is P4. His last stint would be similar to top 3 guys so he wouldn't catch them.

But good work strategy wise, by going different you open yourself up to these opportunities.

They fear a penalty or another SC, under which they might want to pit again.

how would it have been similar on 10 lap better tires? We were robbed of a great on-track battle coming up, unfortunately

Ok thanks for that, No Further Investigation so they should just manage until the end now you'd think.

Highly unlikely. He would have been on much newer tyres and caught them up easily near the end.

As Brundle said. Had the pace for either route, but obviously more jeopardy trying to overtake.

It's hard to look up the data, but it's likely he exits his last stop at least 10-15 seconds behind and then needs to overtake three fast cars on track. It might be doable but with how cars can defend I'm not sure it would be a done deal.

I feel sad for Georgie boy.

He just can't beat kimi on pace.

What a situation. Championship on, Hamilton in the hunt!

I find it super funny that Antonelli crushed Russell's hopes and then had the car breakdown.

Do Mercedes have a big red button that randomly DNF's one of their cars when they start fighting?

I don´t. He was clearly slower again and ruined Kimi´s pace making Hamilton a threat even without the luck the with the VSC. Kimi is just faster, that´s the reality

"Georgie boy" only chance is to outqualify Kimi and hold him up in the races. If Kimi jumps ahead, that´s it

too much strain on the battery.
