F1 2021 Season

Crucial early passes for Hamilton. He will catch Lando but I reckon he won’t get past.
 
It’s great to see Mclaren back with a good car. Very likeable drivers too
 
Hamilton and Vertsappen basically crossed in the pits and Lewis now has a 10s gap. He’s passed brilliantly since the pit
 
The Mclaren has suddenly become a decent car, its so bizarre! So difficult to overtake recently.
 
Perez could come into this at the end. He's only going to be 5 seconds or so behind Hamilton on fresh tyres.
 
Haas retiring Schumacher as I assume they’re bored and want to beat the traffic

They've been getting stronger for a couple of years, and the powertrain change has certainly made a difference. Also this and Monza are very friendly for their car, they hate long sweeping corners like in Netherlands.
 
This is killing the impact of Max’s fresh mediums. Almost 20s behind Lewis now
 
Toto trying to put a rocket up Bottas :lol:

Come on Leclerc hold Lewis off to keep him away from Lando
 
Bottas is basically doing nothing. Just doesn't seem able to overtake anything despite being in a better car.

I thought that then, when leclerc came out of the pits he could’ve fought for the place but seemed to show no interest in doing so

Cancel that, another shocking pitstop from red bull.

Do these guys not practice these or what?
 
What's happened to Red Bull's pit stops? They used to be absolutely supreme at them.
 
Lewis has a long time here to get past. This is for the win.

Alonso overtaking Max?!
 
Max will have to pit again I think. He's going to lose a lot of pace on these with 14 laps left.
 
Seems inevitable. Lewis looks on it as good as the McLaren is in a straight line. Can only see Lewis taking this
 
Missed last 20 mins - how on earth is Hamilton 20 secs ahead of Sainz?
 
Lewis won’t get past Lando. The mclaren is basically the the Mercedes’ kryptonite
 
Lewis is catching Lando but I’m hoping Lando is just holding his pace until he needs it to defend. Both McLarens have been hard to get past today.
 
OK in hindsight maybe Mercedes did OK on the pit strategy :lol:
Yeah pretty funny, about 30 mins or so ago even the commentators were laughing and saying what are Mercedes doing. Turns out it was a good strategy. Still, good driving from Lewis preserving his tires as best as he could. Verstappen kinda had no choice but to drive his hard. Wonder if he will be able to still get on the podium.
