uh oh, leclerc approaching max, buckle up folks

Thank goodness it was clean. Keen to watch LeClerc battle Vettel.

 

[UrBaN963]

Managed that very well. I wonder why Vettel isn’t racing.

"vettel, leclerc is faster than you"

"vettel, leclerc is faster than you"

“But stay ahead anyway because reasons. “

 

[caroper]

I bet Vettel is worried with Leclerc closing that fast.

I suspect you'll see more speed from him when he changes to medium

 

[caroper]

Leclerc could well take the lead when merc pit.

Last year this track gave him his first F1 Point, this year it could be his first F1 win.............

I'm not so secretly hoping for Bottas... But as long as it isn't Vettel or Hamilton I'd be happy. Mainly I just need Iceman finishing in points to keep me happy.

Williams though... Poor Kubica

Yea I’m also ready for Hamilton to win the race.

They’ve almost become a comedy team.

 

[UrBaN963]

What happened to Albon?

 

[Hamster]

Williams though...

Their bad luck is on a next level

 

[Dave]

What happened to Albon?

Maybe it was damage after he smacked the wall early on?

Oh he hit the wall? That sucks. He’s a good driver, keen to see how he progresses.

He chewed up a couple of meters of Emirates poster with a side on slide/bump into the barrier. He was flying early on as well.

Good man, every legend has had his stints with the wall. Bodes well

 

[Dave]

Leclerc’s gamble is starting to go wrong, he’s now under a safety car pit stop in front and the Mercs are catching him up pretty quickly, he’s lost around 5 seconds on them in a handful of laps.

Even if he pitted under SC the Mercs will jump him and he’ll come out to fight with Vettel.

 

[UrBaN963]

Think he’s banking on fast new softs vs their old mediums in the cooler temps.

As the commentators just said, if he does a normal pit stop he’ll even be behind Max now.


And Bottas has just taken another 3 seconds out of Leclerc’s lead.
