I think this one is a done deal barring any mechanical failures.

Max has this in the bag barring incident.

Very close race. Mercedes as quick as RB in race pace. Hamilton has 3 laps newer tyre which should help him a lot in the end. This will go to the end & tyres may fall off. Perez also had to try used Mediums.

Tyre Wise Mercedes advantage, pace wise tied, track position wise RB lead ! All to play for - Will go to the end !

The Red Bull does seem so much faster. It seems the tech experts like Hughes called this wrong big time?

I thought Hughes was calling good long run pace from RBR.

Merc looked very strong on Friday but it seemed to be taking too much out of the car. The changes to protect the car seem to have taken the edge of.

At least there’s some drama down the field :) how is Bottas still so far back?

Well those were a fun few 11 laps. Now Max is toying with the pace. 20 second win come the end. Easy.

Yeah I can't see Alonso getting away with that, he was quite clearly outside of the track when he made the pass.

Wow- they waited a long time to administer that. Glad they did although I’d have just taken the 5 seconds if I were Alonso, even if it’s totally against the spirit of the rules.
