Lmao, Bottas just let Charles take position right out of the pits.

9 second pit for Perez.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Why do I get the feeling that RB are gonna put the soft tires on Perez' car later on when he does his pit stop? Hmmmmm...

EDIT: nvm, it's the mediums. And a very slow stop at that.

I don't know if I've just never watched a Russian Grand Prix but I keep thinking they're at Yas Marina

You probably fell asleep during all previous Russian GPs

Alonso passes Verstappen. Meanwhile Hamilton is 1.5 seconds behind 1st.

 

[Dennisch]

They should tell Bottas to take the rest of the season off. What a worthless driver that guy can be.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Is Verstappen losing pace? How was he passed by Alonso? What did I miss?

Tires are going off.

 

[McLaren]

Are the teams/fans aware of any way to determine how much fuel everyone has on board? They're talking about Norris maybe needing to watch his.

Damn

Not publicly available, but they know some parts of it from the team radios

Bottas was targeting a podium.

He's in 14th.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Damn

Max is hanging in there for now. I think Alonso's fresh tires made the difference.

 

[PaMu1337]

Verstappen might actually struggle with keeping Stroll behind

Well now that the pressure of the contract renewal is off...he should be doing great. :/

Drops of rain possible at the end? Or probably during the podium ceremonies?

 

[Dennisch]

Hamilton to first and with 2 laps to go his engine goes pop.

That would be nice.

 

[Fat Tyre]

So much for Lewis being able to overtake in 5 laps with minimal difficulty. Those AWS graphs are complete BS.

 

[McLaren]

Thinking Lewis is biding some time.

 

[andrea]

Hold strong Lando kid

Nevermind, Stroll drops off massively

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Longest. 8 laps. Ever. 😐

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Perez passes Ricciardo.

 

[Touring Mars]

It's raining at one part of the circuit now

Hamilton must be favourite now...

Norris runs wide... This is hard to watch now!

Does Lewis risk staying out just to win the race if Norris is forced to pit??

Verstappen should have stopped for inters and stolen half a lap on the leaders... a missed opportunity there!

Will Lewis stay out on slicks?? - he has stayed out...

... now Verstappen pits. Leaders stay out on slicks... Norris is gambling and says no to inters... Lewis pits... and it stops raining with just 3 laps left... crazy finish!

 

[Grayfox]

Last minute chaos

 

[NotThePrez]

Sainz is telling his crew to have Inters on standby.

 

[PaMu1337]

This is brilliant!

 

[HenrySwanson]

Amazing. This makes up for the dull races we've had before

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Hamilton backing off.

 

[Fat Tyre]

What a beautiful race

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Gah! So nerve wracking!
