F1 2021 – spoilers here

All that fuss about tires and they change onto the same compound at the same time?

Yep, it boils down to max did a divebomb and didn’t leave Lewis any option but to run off the track. You have to leave racing room so the stewards called it correct in my eyes

This is spot on IMO.

Christ this is tense!

Perez showing his teammate how to defend hard and fairly at the same time. Verstappen owes him a pint or two.

Great work by Perez. Getting exciting.

Yes perez that’s racing

go Perez

Perez the ultimate team mate there. That was hard but fair, if only Max could drive like that

Max for another lunge then?

This.

Perez showing his teammate how to defend hard and fairly at the same time.

Was wondering if Perez might “accidentally” give him a tap but it seems he’s a much fairer driver than his teammate.

Christ on a bike!!!

No contest in the battle of the teammates! Massive stuff from Checo.

Great, fair driving by Perez there.

Lewis was ultra cautious there with passing Perez.

Great action though and that is what you call hard but fair racing between the two…

And I don’t Turn 6 lap 1 will really have a bearing either given Lewis’s pace advantage

No contest in the battle of the teammates! Massive stuff from Checo.

Yep – while I’m obviously hoping for a LH win, that was an excellent bit of fair and clean racing.

So now whose hard compounds are going to fall away first…?

does that possible 5s penalty come back into play again? Although LH seems to be driving away again.

Well we know Hamilton will be looking after his tyres he is driving like a true Champion.

Love the message on the side of Kimi’s car…

‘Dear Kimi. We’ll leave you alone now…’ 🙂

Merc really need Bottas a few seconds closer…

I’m really hoping Bottas can do a Perez, maybe a bit to much to hope for.

He’s on fresh tyres and can’t pass a Ferrari that keeps locking up… he’s out of the picture this weekend.

he’s out of the picture this

season

FTFY

Safety car?

VSC

This is a hard call for Merc

Surprised that LH hasn’t pitted!
This might come back to bite them at the end if his tyres fall away.

Why hasn’t Lewis pitted? Could this be a massive strategic mistake?

Ooo eck.

Surprised that LH hasn’t pitted!

RB would always go for the opposite of Hamilton, though.

so sad pleading with the fia by toto.. its a sport ffs

Blimey..this is getting tense

Interesting decision…

I think Merc are gonna gonna regret not pitting Lewis

but why didn’t he just cover the move next lap?

Ohhhh, 17 seconds and Lewis with 20 laps to manage those tyres.

Please no punctures!

Yeah, not a great look for Toto.

or another VSC?

so sad pleading with the fia.. its a sport ffs

Yeah, that came across really badly.
I reckon it’ll come down to the final couple of laps with MV closing right up.
