[Touring Mars]

Sirotkin appears to have Ocon's rim stuck to his nose!

 

[Robin]

That overhead safety car banner was a bit much

 

[Jimlaad43]

That safety car bridge

 

[niky]

To be fair to Perez, that was a gutsy move from Ocon that probably wouldn't have worked, anyway.

On the other hand, not surprised at all it was Perez that punted him off.

 

[PaMu1337]

No further action, seems fair enough

 

[McLaren]

The yellow was behind them, Vettel was already past Max when the safety car started. No way Vettel needs to give that up.

Just commenting what was shown on the screen; yellow flag, no overtaking. Clearly the broadcast calls it before the Safety Car officially declares it to them.

No overtaking under yellow is only on part of the track

Well... the train has left the station... next time anything interesting is pitstops I guess..

 

[PaMu1337]

First time this weekend Max is positive about his car 👍

Yea it's one of those...

 

[PeterJB]

This is extremely slow.

I'm stealing that one. What a brilliant way to describe the high speed procession.

 

[niky]

There's a bit of rain coming in...

 

[PaMu1337]

Drops of rain 👍

 

[niky]

Now it's drizzling in the grandstands, according to some spectators...

 

[Robin]

Hope it does rain substantially because it's starting to look like one of those races...

 

[PaMu1337]

FIA says no proper rain in next 20 minutes.

 

[DesertPenguin]

What a good undercut that was

 

[Carlos]

This is going to be interesting with Hamilton and Vettel on different strategies!

 

[PaMu1337]

Vettel is losing tons of time behind Perez.

 

[Famine]

Vettel is losing tons of time behind Perez.

Enough for Verstappen to Verstoppen...

 

[niky]

Ferrari pitstop:

 

[DQuaN]

Ferrari strategy looks to have screwed Vettel. Long way to go yet though.

 

[PaMu1337]

Enough for Verstappen to Verstoppen...

Fun fact: "Verstoppen" is Dutch for "hiding"

 

[Dennisch]

Good job, Ferrari.

They really need someone who can actually work out a proper strategy if they ever want a WDC again. Jebus.

Edit

Max had it in second gear to get that pig moving again after the pit stop.

Max also seemed to hit the front jack.

 

[niky]

A safety car would help Danny at this point in time.

But I doubt it... I imagine Vettel's third is somewhat safe... except if Bottas can take him on the track.

Which, given Vettel will have to try to get to the end on the wrong tires...

 

[Stotty]

Unless he crashes or has a failure, Lewis is going to walk this. Merc have got the strategy spot on.

It also isn't helping that Vettel isn't faster on his faster tyre.

 

[PeterJB]

He's too scared to try it on Max.
