I wonder if at this rate almost all the field could get lapped?

Hamilton is almost FIFTY seconds ahead of Verstappen
But he hadn't stopped yet ..
No he hadn’t, but I have a feeling Max will have to stop again.

I think the hard tire will be bad if it rains again. I would have stayed out till lap 50 and then tried the soft...
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

Bottas seems slower on this set and is currently slower than Verstappen.

So BOT chooses to go the opposite way of HAM and Merc says that he have to use the choice he made before HAM chose?
Strange!

Scratch that. He can’t because of LeClerc.

It’s just what they do. But I’d have liked them to let him do it. Could have made for a great finish.

Hamilton didnt want to pit either, but the team insisted. Why should it be different for Bottas?

Why should Bottas profit from staying out and a possible safety car or jepordize his 2nd place?

I cant blame Bottas for wanting the opposite, but he had his chance to win the race and blew it all by hinself. I dont see why he should get any benefit at all on strategy...

Bodywork hanging off Bottas car. Any chance of a black and orange flag like Lewis in Baku a few years back ?

Albon has zero credit any more. He is done.

92 wins for Hamilton. Absolutely incredible.

And how fitting that he’s put in a Schumacher-esqe performance in destroying all competition to take his record.

Amazing.
