No one is salty. Just a weird line you're taking.

Yeah, but my prediction came from thinking Norris and Le Clerc would bump each others wheels in the first corners.  I can't get everything right, bro.  


You are right Norris is good at defending in race, but that doesn't matter for race starts. It's clear from the sprint that Hamilton's Merc can beast people in the back straight as long as the car in front doesn't have DRS (which they don't in first laps). Even Norris would be helpless unfortunately.

F1 god. Master of predictions. We're not worthy.

No idea why you're taking the obnoxious troll route. Enjoy the race.

Feel like we might get a classic VerHam battle today

What a few corners. Bottas has to get a shift on man

Max flying away

Some racing this.

It's tongue in cheek mate. Don't be genuinely salty!

So Hamilton is 4 seconds behind rather than 20/30 seconds.

Safety cars helped IMO

Been around 3.4 for a few laps. Obviously making up time but a long while to go. Needs to get the strat right.

You've got to wonder how much life Hammy has taken out his tyres. Ted predicted all teams doing a one stopper now  due to Safety Car so only one chance for the under/over cut...

Best track on this calendar this.

Undercut?

Managed to cut from 4 seconds behind to 1.5 when Verstappen came back out - that seems to have order because Hamilton has the pace.

Verstappen's going to defend so hard when the time comes and likely fuck his/Lewis' race. Mark my words

That will make a good Drive to Survive episode

Safety cars really helping Merc today. What do you think, Scott?

That Mercedes cannot follow in race trim

Had DRS and is now 1.2 behind.

Back in the game

Hammy and Bottas seething with Merc HQ.
