MUFC Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Lady luck for Hamilton, now I want to see Bottas apply the pressure on Lewis like he did to Bottas in the opening stages of the race. Time to show he can attack.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Safety car and Hamilton takes the lead in incredibly unsatisfying fashion. Vettel pits and is now ahead of Verstappen and Leclerc. Red Bull bring in Verstappen for his second stop early to go onto hard tyres. Leclerc stays out on the mediums, might be a huge gaffe from Ferrari. I thought they sorted out the safety car giving drivers an unfair advantage out of pure lucky timing after Singapore 2008 but clearly not.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Now Ferrari pit Leclerc . Sainz also appears to have lucked out here and gets up to 7th. Usually the safety car spices a race up at this point but on this occasion it's robbed us of Bottas v Hamilton for the rest of the race and Leclerc v Max. Bottas has to stop again as well. Mercedes have dropped the ball not getting him in as well because now he could lose 2nd place.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 The stewards' heads are exploding, people flying off the track left right and centre .
nudge Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Max could get a penalty, left the track with all four wheels. Class race though
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Mercedes are so fast Bottas can probably build a gap without passing Hamilton. So much of the midfield will be decided now by who thought fast when the safety car came out. Renault got Ricciardo in but Norris needs to stop again while Sainz is at the front of the midfield without another stop to make as far as I can tell. The Red Bull chassis looks amazing. The speed they can carry through turn 1 and 2 compared to Ferrari is nuts.
MUFC Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Anyone dare say RB may be quicker then Ferrari? Performed well on 2 power tracks on the bounce.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Insane from Leclerc on outside of turn 3!
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Vettel hits Max! Cant believe it's taken 37 laps for a collision but they were going at it hard. Vettel slow and will need to pit, Max carries on in 5th, seems undamaged. Leclerc now 3rd. Vettel's mistake but another case of Max not playing the percentages perhaps.
MUFC Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 New lows for Vettel if he finishes behind the Williams.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Bottas probably has enough of a gap now to pit and keep 2nd.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 10 second time penalty for Vettel, bit pointless when he's 17th. If you're that arsed give him a 3 place grid penalty for the next race.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2019 Looks like Williams will only get lapped once today, safety car assisted of course. Kubica only a few seconds behind Russell for once, who in turn is only a few second behind Stroll.

I get that he is a pit stop ahead but there are so many things that can go wrong. Why risk a race win? I love it, they apparently tried to pit him twice but he refused both times couldn't understand the decision to pit him anyway.
