Have to laugh at Giovinazzi versus Alonso. They both did exactly the same thing and then had to give the place up.

So we are in the territory of pushing someone off the track on the outside again….

Alonso forced Giovinazzi to do that the second time though. He's sly

I don't rate Hamilton's chances of passing Verstappen on track. The performance of the cars seems so close, and they normally need a huge difference to make an overtake.

The FIA trying to add some "spice" :twisted:

It looked like a Marshall was going to collected some debris, not sure why they decided that was needed.

I’m a bit baffled by this from Red Bull. Seems very early in a race they looked to be controlling. Maybe they are facing some tough deg issues.

Avoiding the under cut, I think.

They aren't trying to make Perez win though, they just want the two cars close together on track, with Verstappen ahead.

Max's tyres is gonna fall off. There's no way he is making 26-27 laps when he was struggling after 15 laps with the Hards (Low fuel or otherwise). This is Hamilton's race to lose !

I guess it doubles the risk of Ham trying to hold on.

He didn't appear to be struggling though. I am actually not sure why Red Bull stopped, it seems very odd indeed.

Hamilton's losing a second a lap. He needs to pit and get on some nice new rubber soon.
