This is Lewis at his very best, in front shot tyres ( maybe ) and battling to stay in front.

they agree with bottas now that it’s a 2 stop for himBottas being pitted?
Hamilton is doing brilliant here.
Is he actually pulling away from Max?!
Edit: Nevermind, it’s dropping again.

If it was mind game , fair play to them.
Red Bull should not have pitted Verstappen.
He was the perfect 2nd driver while ever there was no challenger to Merc. Now that RB are looking good again, it’s showing him up for being as useless as he’s ever been
Lewis is incredible, still maintaining the 5secs gap despite the difference in tires health
See this is why I don't understand was so confident about Max winning this. Lewis is the master at leading a race.
In Some sectors yes. Also Max was on Mediums, so he must have really pushed it. Combination of Lewis's tyre preservation and Max's overpushing the tyres.
Mercedes would have pitted if he didn’t though, they did the right thing.
Hamilton might do this. Its going to be close.
How the hell is Lewis getting further ahead ?
4 seconds in 6 laps. Plus Verstappen has to overtake. Could be close.
All the money in F1 and they can't get working radios
Did Lewis feck up somewhere he's lost over a second.
I am going for mind games by Lewis and Mercedes and it looks like it could well work.
3.3 seconds gap
Lewis losing time.
This is going to be a good finish.
This is going to be a good finish.
Bottas gets too much flack.
Mercedes fecked up the strategy and he still did his job today.

I think Max will catch him with a couple of laps to go. I reckon he’ll have enough to get past him too
He really is. I still think his tyres will drop off last couple of laps though.
Would be amazing if he could make up for Mercedes piss poor strategy.
way outside track limits, thats where he lost his time.
Think Max might get him last lap
No they didnt as evident they've lost first place and theres no guarantee Mercedes would have pitted or caught up to overtake him as seen that Verstappen has not got up to Hamilton yet.
He also had a 3 second advantage over Hamilton at the time.
Perez P3... brilliant
This is a very good race, this is going right to the wire.
Can't see it. I think Lewis is holding a bit back for that too.
Hamilton looks like he has kept it, Max running out of steam
my fantasy is going OK at the monument, 
Down to 1.5
Christ. Look at Max’s pace now
C'mon Max! You can do it.
Think Lewis will need to defend like hell for 2 laps at the end.
This is the F1 racing we wanted, this is EXCITING
Inside DRS now
Let's hope Lewis has been saving up some battery
feck me this is close
What are they investigating about bottas and Perez?
