Yea Max had been told to pick up the pace so Merc didn’t have the luxury to wait any longer if they wanted to undercut.
At this point Lewis should just down the engine and follow Max to the finish line, it ain't happening today.
If Lewis could even catch Max he'd probably ruin that tyre trying to pass him and have to make a third stop.
Merc made the call, RB called thier bluff.
Max making his hards work.
Max making his hards work.
Lewis FFS just drive.
He’s not pitting again, if you think him complaining about the tyres on the radio means they will pit again think again, he’s always complaining.
Hamilton really not happy with the tyre choice and letting his team know all about that...
Sergio have a cracking race, up to 7th.
He will for fastest lap if they can get him back ahead of Bottas.
Exactly. But he will be doing that.
Is Lewis ever happy on the radio
I was thinking more that they might pit him again for fastest lap or something. He’s not getting close to the lead today unfortunately
He won't pit again, Lewis is always moaning.
His best today was always 2nd, nothing has changed.
Lewis back in full crybaby mode.
People moan about radio messages too much, you hear from Lewis because he’s at the front. Everyone moans about tyres and his strategy now looks a mess.
Everyone accepts Monaco as a boring race, I really don’t think you need two in the calendar.
What woukd you be doing?I would be exactly the same.
He thinks they called the pit too early
The thing with him is that he does talk a lot with his team. It is his way of dealing with the pressure.
Boring track, same as Catalunya
He is pitting again lads. I’m telling you 
For the extra point maybe but he is catching Max, gap 1.7 nowHe is pitting again lads. I’m telling you
Merc wanted to give up, that’s ridiculous.
Ricciardo loves kicking up dirt doesnt he. Cheeky.
Have I missed something?
If I was Lewis I’d be asking F1 bosses why do you only ever play my radio. Every driver communicates with it’s engineer and we have hours of logged recordings per race from all a drivers.
That has to piss Lewis off, his team wanting to call off the chase.
I understand the importance of getting the car to the end of the race, but that was only the 2nd time in the race that Lewis has looked like getting on the back of max

Lewis tyres seem to be gone
Sergio my driver of the day.
Funny no one at Sky has twigged the tyre performance thing they use is absolute bullshit and always wrong.
Like measuring the time with a sundial.
I say that, they probably realise and keep it just because it helps add drama where there is none.

The tyre performance graphic is one of the most useless things in F1.
So Lewis settling for 2nd.
2nd was the best they could hope for today, they tried and it did not pay off.

Really poor race on a poor track, but it’ll stay on the calendar because of max
The guys on the wall and back at the factory will always have more info than Lewis, it's the right call today.
Yep, they deserve a race but this track isn’t any good for modern F1.
Next years cars shake it up hopefully.
Will they pit Lewis for the extra point ?
So true, they literally only bring it up to squeeze “AWS” in.
I agree, but when you’re pushing and can see you’re getting close, it’ll annoy you to be told to chill out.
He’ll be fine though, he will have known that anything more than 2nd today was an unlikely bonus
