No, but this whole range is to the soft side. So these are similar to mediums we've seen on other weekends

Max has gained 4 seconds, Hamilton saying he can’t keep this up…. If Merc is going to pit they better do it quick.

Lewis can't pit now. e has to go to the end on these tires, and by the end, they will be shredded.

Ferrari used to do this all the time, leave their guy out with a 15 sec. lead and by the end of the race, they're in 4th.

Lewis over the radio
“I won’t be able to keep this pace up the whole way”

Run that through the Mercedes translator:
“No problem keeping this pace the rest of the way; probably have a few tenths in the tank”

Yep. Worst case they were 8 seconds behind Max with new tires.

Max has cut off a lot of time in just 4 laps.

Favorable temps too for tire life.

Max can tear these tires up, has 18 laps fresh on Lewis, you have to think they will be within 2 seconds of each other going into the last 5 laps.

He needs to make up more time. Lewis is on pace to win by 3-4 seconds

That will drop as his tires age… Hopefully those tires start to shred here in a few laps.

But catching Max is one thing, and passing him is a whole another thing. Its not a given by any stretch of the imagination.

At this point gotta hope the tire degradation isn’t linear and Lewis’ laps get worse than Max’s

RBR needs to use Perez again, and give a DRS to Max

Checo in third and just over a pit stop behind. If checo can catch up a couple secondd it would secure hamilton going to the end.

Was just about to ask when they hit the traffic. Could be absolutely detrimental to either of these guys depending on where they hit it.
