A podium is almost certain if nothing happens on the first lap. But he needs to outscore Verstappen, which is still very hard this weekend now..
I already made that bet when he went past Alonso like he wasn't even there. The car was following cars through corners no problem. With Verstappen being stuck behind Bottas he'll be easy pickings.TimW wrote: ↑13 Nov 2021, 22:05I would put my money on a win for Hamilton actually.

I actually put a cheeky fiver on Hamilton to win before the sprintTimW wrote: ↑13 Nov 2021, 22:05I would put my money on a win for Hamilton actually. Insane speed today.Starkblood80 wrote: ↑13 Nov 2021, 21:59Hamilton is so fast here I’m not going to discount a podium at least tomorrow
It's just good aero. Or maybe an extra aggressive battery deployment mode.
Doesn't seem like they have the stratline speed, or the pace differential to get close enough in sector 2 to ensure a main strait drs pass!
Provided that his race pace maintains the same time delta between him and Max, then Lewis wins for sure.TimW wrote: ↑13 Nov 2021, 22:05I would put my money on a win for Hamilton actually.

Wonder if sprint races negate some of his tyre whispering skills??? Perez can be a bit like Bottas sometimes, absolutely rapid closing up on a car and clear air but hits that dirty air wall and then it's like he's being dragged back. He should have got it done, but I think it will be different in the race and tyre strat is bigger
