In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
This could work for Lewis, no more pits for Lewis.
Max has to pit again, could be an interesting last few laps.
Bottas with a nightmare pit

Bottas with a nightmare pit
Ouch, that was a mess.
Bottas again!
I love a cockup in the pit2s. Except when its poor George Russell
So any threat Bottas undercut was to Verstappen is gone, and they can take risks to try to win with no risk to still being 2nd.
I still have no idea what they're thinking at RB though.

That slow pit stop from Bottas has probably blown it for Merc. They were trying to get Max to protect the undercut but now he doesn’t have to.
Still think Hamilton will 3 stop.
Still think Hamilton will 3 stop.
Not sure he has been on TV once, but George is in 11th and has a shot at finally getting a point.
Sad end for Alonso
GP2 brakes
Shame for Alonso, would have liked him to get some points.
10th and in the points
Didn’t even notice it until you said it. Hope he finishes in the points.
Think Max will have such a pace advantage on fresher tyres when he pits, 6 seconds won't be enough for Hamilton.
Max is showing a lot of maturity this race, he has problems and is just getting on with it.
Russell is so wasted in that car.
Could Lewis make a 3rd stop, does he have any new sets to put on.
If they can anticipate when Max comes in come is , comes in round about the same time ?
so no more cutting the corner at turn 4 .
Bollocks. Lewis should have already gotten a penalty. He's just said he's been colouring outside the lines all race. Weak from race control this.
Tsunoda is great and fearless
Max has done the same.Should have had the warning earlier yeah, pretty certain he'd have then stopped earlier so wouldn't get penalised.
They literally all taking that line in T4 but sure pick on Hamilton.
nice Red Bull pit sub 2 second stop
exactly
Brilliant stop. Just under 9 second gap, don't think that's gonna be enough.
Max will make mince meat of Hamilton here. Merc just not quick enough to do the 3 stop.
That’s a big gap for Max, especially since he has to pass Lewis as well, not just catch him.
Max will catch him
is 7 second enough on his ageing hards, 15 laps left.
I dont think so.
I dont think so.
No he hasn't? Red Bull told Max that Lewis had been doing that all race and Max was pissed off about it. Red Bull told Max to go do the same after Lewis had already been doing it half the race thus gaining valuable seconds
Already down to 7 seconds. Yeah, this won't be close. Worth switching to a three stopper for Mercedes.
Mercedes in trouble now Verstappen is chomping in to Hamiltons lead.
They really should just put Hamilton now and bank on a SC, it’s pointless leaving him out there getting caught like that.
Game on for sure. First few laps are the fastest on any set though, so we'll see in another few if he's still eating into the gap.
Atleast the pit cockup means Bottas doesn't need to think up an excuse this week, he will be happy about that. He was so bitter on the latest Drive To Survive
Wasn't he just.
Bottas pace hasn’t been terrible, he’s just world class at never being useful.
Ocon was not a fault there, Sebs 100%
