Max can pit and get the fastest lap at the end, Hamilton could time it right and do it on the last lap!
I'm trying to jinx it
Unless Lewis makes a big mistake, I think this is over.
Cheers for the updates.
Should be a good last few laps
Bottas down in 7th with a new engine is a shock.

Passing is another story. We all know when it comes to the time Max will get dirty.
He hasn’t got there as quick as I thought but then he doesn’t need to.
Is this your first time watching Bottas? He's terrible at coming through the pack.
I think Max will make his car huge and eek out the win
Lewis needs to get close enough and get a good enough exit against that turbulent air. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion. He's only taking a few tenths off every lap, behind another car it's going to be difficult.
That's a nice euphemism for driving all over the track
Max isn’t dropping off yet, this will go to the end.

I think Lewis is also managing his tyres to make sure he has lots of life left.
thought he might do better with a new engine.Merc called it at the pit. All in the last 3 laps
You have to give it to both these guys, I'm not sure either have made a single mistake this race have they?
What time difference does usually lead to dirty air?
Not sure if Lewis is stalking or struggling in the dirty air
Will be close this. I'm starting to quite like this F1 business. I just wish I really cared for either Ver or Ham.
Despite who you support nobody can deny how ridiculously talented they are. Just look how far away they are from the rest of the pack. They are on another level.
This makes it funnier how everyone in the thread was like 'omg Merc fecked the strategy again' in the opening stages of the race.
I think the dirty air is playing a part. Hamilton has no reason to hold back now.
Go with Norris or Russell, that way you look like a genius when he races for championships once Lewis retires.
Dirty air has killed it off
The Merc is struggling in the dirty air.
I don’t think Lewis will get past him. Struggling in the hot air
They did
Verstappens going to survive this aint he? Hamilton has stopped gaining.
A bit concerning now Lewis is in the dirty air that he seems to be struggling.
Chasing almost anyone the way Lewis chases Max you'd almost bank on a mistake, but against Max there's nothing. I dislike Max quite a lot, but he's a brilliant driver.
Whatever happens F1 being so close and difficult to call is great after the last few seasons.
Fair play Max. He's going to hold it.
The weak part of the Merc, is dirty air, it hates it.
Amazed they keep talking about DRS, Bottas can’t even overtake Sainz with a broken front wing
13 points it is at this point I'd think. Going to be an interesting last 5 races. Exciting and tense stuff.
Why is Perez a billion miles behind? Doesn't he drive a redbull car as well?
Hamilton chopping in to the lead now. Maybe he was holding back or Verstappen has used his battery up. Either way we are in for a great finale.
Bottas....
Yeah, because they did.
I don't recall you posting anything to the contrary at the time?
