Hmmm what are you going to do RBR

2 stop for Verstappen eh.

 

[brotkasten]

If only Kimi was useful.

 

[Zaru]

Damn Verstappen lost a lot of time to Ricciardo with that late stop...

 

[mclem]

Damn Verstappen lost a lot of time to Ricciardo with that late stop...

You mean Vettel?

 

[CaseyTappy]

Max should pit now or he will lose his place to Vettel later .

 

[Tempy]

I feel like Verstappen should pit. Vettel's soft tires are going to make him catch up to Verstappen.

 

[Zeknurn]

Remove Mercedes and you got an exciting race for the win at one of the worst tracks of the season. Who would have thought?

 

[psylah]

This track seems so slow... I thought they were still under the safety car at around lap 9.

I've been playing too much Wipeout.

 

[ramparter]

Ves is losing so much time, it will only make sense if thay changed to 2 stops.

 

[caramac]

 

[hamchan]

Oh boy I hope this strategy doesn't screw Wonderboy.

 

[tomtom94]

This two-stop strategy is not going to work, they're going to lose the 30 seconds of the extra pit-stop too quickly.

 

[Leonsito]

Max has a pretty good shot at winning this.

 

[Zeknurn]

I wonder if either Mercedes driver has suffered any power unit damage.

 

[dakun]

Maybe they are going for two quick soft tire stints on VES for the end?

 

[brotkasten]

Go Haas, go!

 

[ramparter]

This two-stop strategy is not going to work, they're going to lose the 30 seconds of the extra pit-stop too quickly.

Will have to wait and see what happens to the soft tyres of Vet, Ric.

 

[Xando]

Max losing too much time now

 

[DrM]

I wonder if either Mercedes driver has suffered any power unit damage.

Lewis probably wasted something, Nico probably killed his gearbox

 

[hamchan]

They are catching up to Verstappen already, not good for him.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Rosberg goes very aggressively to the right but he is well within his rights according to the regulations(only one move).
Hamilton should have saw that coming and go to the left instead of just charging into a gap that wouldn't be there in a second.

 

[spuckthew]

Great racing by Haas drivers.

 

[tomtom94]

31 laps on a set of mediums. Hahahaha nope.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Almost both Haas crashed in each other.

 

[Zaru]

Oh boy I hope this strategy doesn't screw Wonderboy.

It already did
A shame really since he was clearly keeping pace with Riccy

 

[nature boy]

Asking a lot from Wonderboy. 31 laps?

 

[nny]

Seems too soon for a 2-stop and too late for a 3-stop.

 

[chadskin]

$50K go flying

 

[brotkasten]

Asking a lot from Wonderboy. 31 laps?

Anything can happen today.

But no.

 

[Merino]

Strange strategy by Red Bull here

 

[Tempy]

Is Magnussen on a 1-stop strategy? He's using the Hard tires.

 

[Zeknurn]

Get this Manor out of the way.

 

[Zaru]

Get this Manor out of the way.

Haryanto is getting lapped so many times that he's getting more TV time than most other cars

 

[Yagami_Sama]

MRT is on the spot today.

 

[hamchan]

Haha I find this gif pretty hilarious with the guy in the back going for a thumbs up after everyone else and then just looking at the flying wheel.

 

[dakun]

So Ricciardo and vettel basically have to pass kimi and verstappen on the track after they pit

 

[chadskin]

lol Ferrari

 

[Zeknurn]

Ferrari, what?

 

[nny]

We're getting two races, Ferrari vs. Red bull times 2. Fun!

 

[DrM]

MRT is on the spot today.

Yeah, record amount of air time

 

[Zaru]

Lmao at Ferrari faking a pit stop and the Red Bull strategy team not even paying attention

 

[Lima]

Strange strategy by Red Bull here

Huh? It's a good move. That's what you should do when in front. Try something different for both drivers instead of doing the same thing. Look how that always turned out for Williams when they were in front.

Ferrari just copying Red Bull hehe.
Edit: never mind

 

[stryke]

I hope Ric can keep Vettel at bay but its not looking likely : (

 

[chadskin]

HUH

 

[Blastoise]

cheeky

 

[Aiii]

Strange strategy by Red Bull here

Not that much, they figured Vettel would stick to his strategy, but since Vettel changed the choice to keep VES out didn't make sense. It would have if Vettel stayed out.

 

[nny]

Seb for the undercut!

 

[Lach]

I see this getting an incredible 4 way fight between RB and Ferrari for the last 5 laps or so....

 

[darkinstinct]

Max is going to win.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

What the heck is Ferrari doing? They will gamble a long stint?
