All bets are off now. Good luck all.

Tsunoda has done an excellent job for the senior team. He's done himself no harm there during those opening laps.

Agree. He drove great and didn’t do anything silly at all. I bet Hamilton was very nervous with the prospect of taking Tsunoda. Well played Yuki.

Hamilton is fast at the moment.assuming no craziness or mechanical issues, third place looks like it could be on.

In clear air he's nearly a second faster than the leaders.

[Fulcrum]

Hamilton on another planet just now.

[El Scorchio]

Bottas also driving a good race so far. Getting a bit of a lead now.

Be interesting to see how much gasly will hold Hamilton up. Let's be honest, he's going to give it his all to see show Marko that he's deserving of another chance in the red bull.

Lewis went too hard on the inters? Or Lewis being Lewis

*Coughs* *whispers* erm... You didn't see this post. Carry on.

[El Scorchio]

Sainz very quietly having a splendid race so far. Picked off a lot of cars so far.

I hope we don't have a repeat of Baku after 30 laps of inters.

[jurinius]

Good action to come, both Red bull are still in front of Lewis. 20 laps after fastest lap by Lewis !

Is it allowed to finish a wet race without stopping once?

[Just_a_fan]

Is it allowed to finish a wet race without stopping once?

Yes. The requirement to change compounds and therefore the requirement to have at least one stop is removed if the wet or inter tyre is used. They could, in theory, go the whole race on their starting tyres.

Here's one in much higher quality, no commentary and telemetry

I think Lewis had a tiny lift in T8 which was not shown in app telemetry.

I dont think so. T8 is so easy now its no point in lifting even only 1%.

Check the following 2 in FastF1.
Bottas had 2 tiny lifts in 1st Q3 lap.
Lewis had 1 tiny lift in 1st Q2 lap (still never dipped below 270km/h).
