2020 Portuguese Grand Prix - Portimão, October 23 - 25

I wish they would have showed the buildup of the Hamilton/Bottas battle. Last i saw, Hamilton decreased the gap to 1.6 and then there was the Stroll/Norris incident and the next thing they see, Hamilton is 0.4 behind Bottas...

It’s so funny how Hamilton complains of tyres.... destroyed Bottas then says they are actually fine.

Mind games.

Don’t forget all the drivers are on radio talking/complaining about tyres all the time. They just chose to often use Hamilton’s messages for obvious reasons.

I’ve no doubt that the message to the team about his front left being poor was a calculation knowing full well the team would feel compelled to tell Bottas.

Bottas then slightly relaxes and Hamilton floors it for the next few laps. It will just be too mentally screw with Bottas.

I lost the belief in the FOM on those messages, they seem to be delayed for unknown number of laps at times, especially with Hamiltons tire messages, they just completely don't match what is going on on the track, and it is sort of kindergarten level of "strategy" trying to confuse someone if they aren't delayed, either way - might as well not release it at all

[Phil]

I am really rooting for Leclerc and a podium!

[El Scorchio]

Stroll is having a SHOCKER. He’s bloody lucky to have the position he has in the RP team otherwise it is a total no brainier for him to be the driver to make way for Vettel.

They are usually a lap or two behind- but don’t forget whoever is producing the broadcast has to sift through all the messages, pick any ‘interesting’ ones then locate the recording and edit/prepare it for broadcast. That stuff does take time- at least a couple of minutes- to do.

[El Scorchio]

Superb clean racing between Ocon and Perez

[oT v1]

Some nice moves being shown on a track they said ‘only turn 1’ for passing oppotunities.

[Phil]

Will Mercedes stay out and keep going till they can go onto softs?

[Unc1eM0nty]

Albon lapped at half race distance, oh dear

[El Scorchio]

I wonder if at this rate almost all the field could get lapped?

Hamilton is almost FIFTY seconds ahead of Verstappen

But he hadn't stopped yet ..

Not sure why Brundle is confused about Bottas slow out lap. Every driver on the hard has had a very slow out lap. Especially in the middle sector.
