In race Lewis will return the favor

The race will be at night and overtaking is possible and tyre life will be important.
The mandatory stops will some what make the race preditable.
Hamilton just need to focus on Perez. The rest are distractions.

Hamilton said the car felt a lot different to yesterday, balance is completely off which is interesting considering they've been in parc ferme since the end of fp1

The sprint quali happened at a very different time of day to quali yesterday (~4hrs difference) and with the sun up rather than after sunset. Also Merc known to be on a knife-edge in terms of setup. I think Russell's higher df setup was probably the way to go with how low grip has been, but sunday will tell all

[PlatinumZealot]

We are third fastest. In the GP Ham has the good side for a better start lower DF setup should work in his favour to keep Georgie behind.

For the Sprint.. It's a good opportunity for George to make up some points but that's about it.

McLaren leap gives me hope for next year.

Merc in front of both Ferrari with help from Ocon.

Race will be interesting, expecting RB/McLaren podium.

[Spoutnik]

Good for Lewis, he took some points off Perez & Alonso and put both Ferrari behind.

Disappointing by Lewis. The side-effect of age and a vegan diet.

An old shark, when he sniffs a bit of blood, he transforms the monster that he used to be

If Merc manages to do a good strategy tomorrow he can be on the podium, Piastri's is not there yet on the long trims. Checo will be washed along the way.

[Luscion]

Tomorrow's race will be interesting, Nico rosberg said they had a look at Max's mediums after the race and his front left was destroyed

[j_ste]

That was fun.

Lewis still had plenty of grip by the end of that race. Tomorrow will be interesting

[avantman]

Lewis was 1:27.968 at the end, compare that to Lando's last lap of 1:25.662.

Fun sprint. Could have got George if it wasn't for safety cars and a bit of a slip to let Gasly past. Looking good for tomorrow's race!

Hard to say if ham was hurt or helped by the SCs as while they cost him laps that would've let him take advantage of the medium's superior wear, the SCs (especially the latter) also erased the gap that had built up due to field spread and Lewis running with much slower cars outside top 10

[Spoutnik]

Tomorrow will probably be a 3 stoppers
Someone might try the 4 stoppers
