All depends if Leclerc can get a good start and get out of DRS early. If he can do that I'm not sure he will catch.

Good question.
Lewis for me, he got me watching F1, after I stopped watching, for many years, after I saw Senna crash.
After Lewis, nobody really, just want to see good racing.
Iam not a Max fan, but dont dislike him, fully admit he is the one to beat now.
Like to see Daniel Ricc do well, but he is not. Norris is good, Russell will be a WC along with Leclerc, but Max will be around for a long time and will break some of Lewis's records
I think different people will give you different answers obviously. Always loved Ferrari from the time I started watching F1. Then wih Schumi retiring, Red Bull and Merc dominance, I sort of lost interest. But now that Ferrari have sorta come back into the fold, it's been good fun. With the exception of 1-2 drivers, the quality on show for each race is incredible. The machines they design where fractions of a second count is also incredible innovation.
Yeah, broadly what I said.
Yeah, perhaps. I just think the way the regulations are now, it’s very possible to have a fast car in quali and not in the race. With Parc Ferme, with tyre and fuel regs, DRS, and many other things, the car on pole may well not be the faster race car anymore whereas certainly in the past, it very likely was.
Anyone been to some race this year? I've tried to book one of Monza or Hungaroring, but it's almost full and the prices are ridiculous.
Can Leclerc hold off Max for long.
Track temp 54, going to be tough on rubber today.
1 or 2 stop here ?

Top start for Hamilton
Good clean start
Go Charles
Heh unlucky yuki
KMag gained 7 positions in the first lap :O
Expecting Sainz to storm up the field.
KMag cracking start.
KMag cracking start.
Magnussen upto 12th
Great start by Magnusson.
Ferrari will find it hard to stay ahead of RB once DRS opens it seems
. But Ferrari has real nice pace through s3.

Unreal. Already up to 12th.
Alonso is the race start GOAT
Stunning start from Lewis.
Max with DRS, should take advantage soon
Max with DRS, should take advantage soon
Max will cruise past sadly within a couple laps.
Think Max is going to be too quick for CLC today.
Did Sky say Leclerc was having tyre trouble?
Ocon 5 sec penalty
People need to calm down here. Max isn't past Charles yet and could be a while if it happens.
The straight pace is significantly higher.
I think we will really see in 10 laps when tyre wear becomes more apparent.
Which turn will Sharl mess up this time
I would say, though, Perez has really messed the 2v1 against the lone Ferrari up.
It's only a matter off time.
Max playing the waiting game, right thing to do.
Mistake from Leclerc.
The straight-line speed of the RB vs the corner speed of Ferrari. Wow what a difference these cars
Charles is doing a brilliant job in the first sector
His car seems to already be suffering from wear.
Agree
This is inevitable. Max will have him shortly
Leclerc faster in the corners,Max had it in the straights cancelling each other out so far.
One thing I am shocked by is Perez not making it past Lewis yet.
Overtaking might not quite as easy as I originally thought.

The hot air will be killing Max's rubber.
Lewis doing well.
Lewis doing well.
Hamilton is quickest at the moment, but yeah overtaking is difficult.
Problem for Max is though is any advantage he had on tyre wear might be being negated by being in dirty air, too.
Sainz has managed to do well, back ahead of K Mag, and on the hards.

Lewis is faster than the front 2 in certain sectors right now. Epic race so far.
