Nice, the Bulls are out. The Honda will also not make it to the end, so just 3 to go for Ham to be on the podium. Like Spa a few years ago.

Hamilton passed three cars in single corner, or I saw that wrong? :)

He overtook them with DRS at the end of the straight. They all were next to each other and he was fastest. But nice move, quite rare.

Was a great opportunistic move by HAM. And Alonso is driving a different car today...

Can someone remind me why it’s so ‘urgent’ they sort out overtaking?

Seems like it’s entirely a track issue.

I think 1 stop is the only way to go for Hamilton to improve his result. Bottas doesnt seem to be making an impression on Vettel, so i doubt Hamilton could being 11 second behind the lead. 1 stop would offset him and may give him a chance to lead at one point and perhaps defend for a podium. In fact, keeping him out there might help Bottas win the race.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Hamilton is now starting to reel in Vettel. A 1 stop may work here for Hamilton.

Mercedes caught napping there they should know the undercut is powerful here, 2 seconds could've been enough
