Might have held my breath during S2 from Hamilton. Mental car.
I agree, the inboard looks insane. every corner in that middle sector looks like its on its way to an accident. No way can a car do that.

The Renault was often purple is Sector 1. surely Divebomb Danny will be looking at Les Combe to take the lead?

Looking at Hamilton's laps, I'm slightly surprised the gap is "only" 5 tenths.

Considering how fast the Renualts are, there must be an outside chance Ricciardo gets alongside the Mercs as they approach Les Combes.

Wooah. on rails.

He kept it in 7th gear through there and I see why. On the down-hill the engine revs out more, into the mid twelves.

It is when you see how insanely fast Hamilton was throughout the middle sector.

Ben Edwards picked up on the point that Verstappen must have got a good tow from Albon on his last lap. I would like to see an onboard of Max's lap.

It's all going to come down to La Source. If the Mercs can pull ahead because the RedBulls and Renaults are tripping over each other, they can survive the first trip down the Kemmel. Quite who gets in to Les Combes first is going to define the race.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

In 2019, all cars were abnormally slow because 50 ºC (extreme hot) on track caused affect the grip. ;)

Because of the lap length, getting a good pit exit slot will come into play the other way around to usual as the gap will diminish with time. The earlier stoppers will get back out before the pack fill the road
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.
