[BensGrandad]

3.8

Does he need to increase it to take into account a pit stoop at some point.

 

[Hillian1]

Why can't bottas get on the back of Vettel?

Is it equipment or ability?

 

[Frutos]

I don't think either he or Vettel will be pitting again, assuming nothing out of the ordinary.

Judging by Vettel making up over 5 seconds last time yes, he does need to increase it.

has he piited once already then? I wasnt aware of that.

Yes.

Sainz performance in the Renault this weekend makes the decision to bin the perennial back marker Palmer look very good.

6.4 now

 

[Frutos]

Vettel pits again, now running 4th with Verstappen flying at him...could be interesting.

 

[Icy Gull]

Really hope they pit Hamilton to cover this off but they'll need to do it quickly or gamble that his tyres don't go off. Could make an uncomfortable last few laps

Edit too late now I fear

 

[sjamesb3466]

Hamilton has to stay out now. If he and Bottas can hold on it could keep Vettel back in 3rd.

Edit: Bottas is shit

 

[Frutos]

Kimi passes Bottas for 2nd.

 

[Icy Gull]

Fascinating stuff. Where are the F1 is boring posters these days?

 

[BensGrandad]

Dont we need Verstappen to overtake Vettel.

For the title from here, Verstappen and Ocon would need to pass Vettel, as well as Lewis holding the lead.

Of course, if Max were to get a bit aggressive trying to pass Vettel...

 

[Beach Hut]

One safety car and this could go west for Lewis

 

[sjamesb3466]

Bottas not good enough. I know his tyres are must worse than Vettel but he needs to be more aggressive.

Pretty shit rear gunner for Hamilton unlike Raikkonen for Vettel. Maybe Hamilton is happier with no competition in the team, hence the new contract for Bottas.

It was easily Bottas' corner and would have been well within his rights to close the door but he left it open. Won't effect the win unless Hamilton blows a tyre in the next two laps but has let Vettel have two places due to the Ferrari team orders
