Leclercs pace is dropping off. Same as Max on the last lap. Not sure if Max can do 50 laps though. Tires could just collapse.

Pace is not really that good right now.
Compared to Merc and Ferrari behind, it is. He matched Leclerc on the last lap. He's faster than Russell.

Leclerc is faster with fresher tyres and is closing a bit, will close faster later.

Without stopping the finish will be between 4-6 I think. Piastri and Russell are faster but are losing time fighting themselves.

PIA is 2 seconds ahead of Russell. Russell is just slow lapping 33.2. Max has been donig 33.1. Leclerc has been doing 32.9-33.1

Fair enough, Russel seem really slow. Main threats are Leclerc then Russell. Leclerc is coming back.

Stopping would put Max 3s behind Hamilton. It should be avoided unless it is absolutely necessary.

Should have pitted 4-5 laps ago (if they have the tyres). Leclerc will pass soon.

Max would have had no chance to pass Leclerc back anyway.

It was always 4-6 , for both strategies.
