I guess we’ll see how it plays out

True, I bet Ferrari have a room full of priests praying for multiple safety cars

Probably have a Tifosi App and sending out requests for prayers.

ugh i hate these brainy races.

and i hate how the commentators always try to dangle this carrot infront of us by saying "by the end he will have fresh tyres and on a mega charge" lets just be honest, nothing ever happens at then end with fresh tyres

They need to give him time and bring him in already - should have done it laps ago. Expect a Ferrari customer induced safety car any time....

 

[Dave]

Looks like Bottas might be in DRS range in the next lap or 2.

And Hamilton is coming into DRS range of Bottas...

 

[caroper]

It was worth the try though, and statistically probable, but the luck was against him.

 

[PoppieChoffel]

Their bad luck is on a next level

Somebody sent this to me yesterday... Apt

 

[PoppieChoffel]

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.

Yeah he should have been pitted a few laps back

 

[Dave]

Sitting duck time...

 

[Hamster]

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.

Reminds me of the Hamilton blunder last year. He was something like 15 seconds ahead. They kept him out and when he finally pitted it was down to a couple.

Agreed, Ferrari pit wall seem to have gone to sleep.

Guys. They’re just helping Vettel.

 

[Dave]

Double sitting duck, poor Leclerc...

 

[Dave]

Guys. They’re just helping Vettel.

Good point. Leave him out long enough to give Vettel a nice big advantage without obvious team orders.

 

[UrBaN963]

Ham ham can do you do the ham ham can you do the ham ham...

 

[PoppieChoffel]

Guys. They’re just helping Vettel.

Exactly my thought.

Pity about Riccardo

 

[caroper]

Are Ferrari deliberately trying to lose this championship?

 

[UrBaN963]

Yup. Make them chase him down, chew their tyres up with Vettel following slightly less aggressively.

Then they take the lead, tired tyres and Vettel can overtake.

Or probably crash.

 

[Willie Trombone]

Ferrari are now borking Le Clerc's race completely. Sorry for him.
