Safety car time boys and girls
Sainz has always been good. Better? Not sure. Leclerc is just seemingly off form.
that has to be a SC
Ooooo wow.
They all screwed up not pitting there.
None of the leaders came in! Why wouldn’t you risk it if you’re Lewis for example?! Or Leclerc?! Madness.
Amazed how all of the top 10 are all on hards. Anyone on a softer compound and the win is there for that taking
Merc why didn’t you gamble a car!
Mercedes I think messed that up as usual.
did the VSC come just to late ?
Safety car for that before, but VIRTUAL sc for this? 
Why aren't they pitting Leclerc in?
Why aren't they pitting Leclerc in?
Exactly! And Leclerc
Charles and Lewis have to pit. Madness not to.
I don’t think that matters though. They’d have gotten out in front of Alonso anyway I think? Or very very close.
Both Mercs 
Blinder from Merc there
Incredible that they didn't pit Leclerc, laughable.
Beautiful job by Mercedes there.
Mercedes race winning move that
Russell really needs to STFU and just drive
Ferrari absolute insanity to not pit Charles. They've lost the race.
I think this is a good move form Merc.
that was genius by Mercedes and could win them the race
Depends how much pace Sainz and co. have in store too I suppose.
Russell is so incredibly unlikeable
Disaster for Alonso.
OH dear disaster pit for Alonso
Ferrari are bonkers for not putting Leclerc.
Alonso with a horrible pit stop. I would have thought Ferrari should have pitted Leclerc
Let’s see how Max progresses. And Perez.
They’re gaining more than a second a lap which is plenty enough if they don’t destroy their tyres.
Ferrari, FFS. They'll never be champions with these clowns in charge
Merc should have still pitted Hamilton one lap before to avoid the double stack.
Can Sainz reach the end of the race on his tyres or does he need to pit again?
Alonso going from bad to worse.
He will reach the end.
Charles is definitely finishing behind the Mercs. Not sure if they can catch Sainz though
Nice pass by Max. I think he can reach what, P6?
Charles will be even more helpless than Max and Perez were at the SC restart. He's not going to hold them up.
