so [s]sad[/s] pathetic pleading with the fia by toto.. its a sport ffs
make it sound to RB like he was staying out but then dive in last second
Max was what, 4-5 sec behind? Loads of time to respond. Even if he was right on his gearbox he could still react.
bruneep, Horner has made that behaviour his M O, I don't like hearing it from any of them.
I think Merc might still have this ...
Gap has stabilised a bit.
Verstappen needs Lewis' tyres to go off, very quickly.
I know who I'd put my money on if it's just a driver under pressure
Verstappen is nowhere near fast enough to catch Lewis.
Hope the back markers keep it clean for both LM and MV.
Merc don't often get their strategy wrong.
He's making what, 1/2 s per lap and 13 laps to go, doesn't look as close as it feels.
Hopefully Max continues to push and push and overcooks at some point, remove the ambiguity.
tyres to go pop
I think Merc might still have this …
Assuming the tyres hold on, probably.
Any sort of incident or the tyres giving up though and it could come right down to the final corner!
Yeah, Max isn't going fast enough.
Where has Max's pace gone? Lewis is in traffic and he's still not closing
10 laps to go, 12 second gap.
Horner is saying there's nothing that RB can do now to close it down but that might be a double bluff...
Down to Lewis's tyres staying together, then...
1s a lap now, how much due to the back markers?
If Max does lose this he needs to employ a driver coach over winter. Aggression may win races it doesn’t win championships though.
If Max does lose this he needs to employ a driver coach over winter.
Horner made a big thing about how Max is his own man and doesn't need such things where as Lewis needs all kinds of support.
I agree though he may need to reconsider even if he does win...
Down to Lewis’s tyres staying together, then…
Adelaide 86?
I'd stayed up all bloody night to watch that!
Back to just under 12s….
Max seems to be struggling to catch and get past the back markers.
Oh!
It'll finish under the safety car now.
Hello....
ooff safety car soft tyres
Aaargg
Shit.
shit
Finish under SC?!
Played right back into RB hands here.
Oh ffs
Oh oh!
Max pitting? He’s got to do a lot of
Overtaking!
Ffs
This is a gift for Max
Lots of British marshals go to AD don't they? You know what to do folks...
Safety car to the end?
Safety car finish?
I think this might actually finish under SC. 4 laps to go, they need to clear that crash... If it finishes under SC Lewis to win. One more lap of racing and MV probably has it.
This is a huge gamble, again!
I have no fingers left...
Wow what and end to an amazing topsy-turvy season
That safety car wants to hurry the **** up!!
This is going to be quite something.
Wait, wut?
Maybe it won't after all. Starting to feel some sympathy for Red Bull. Well, nearly.
Someone will be trying to orchestrate one racing lap, though I’m sure. If they manage it, this is Max’s; it f not, it’s Lewis’s.
This is going to be either ridiculous or chaos. At least the lapped cars will be between them.
