And Max is catching him.

Catching him and dropping LeClerc.

VSC for the car that’s right at the end of the escape road?

That’ll help Vettel keep in front of Max.

14 laps and 28 seconds to make up. Not to mention overtakes.... not gonna happen for Le Clerc.

What a joke, he's now even further behind after the safety car - like 10 seconds further back LOL. Ferrari letting their drivers down supremely here. Once again, they are the faster car and proved that all weekend except when it counts. Can we assume they were testing some 'unsanctioned' parts or processes during practice?

WTF is a VSC necessary?

That’s why I posed the question, it was a joke to call it.

Making the track "notorious"

Except the escape road was an angled road off the track (so you’d have to consciously steer down it) with staggered concrete walls for the car to be removed behind. Charlie Whiting’s replacement had a little panic to call that I think.

It’s not like the escape road where Danny Ric decided to reverse from.

LOL @ attempt for fastest lap for Charl. Poor guy... have a sucker.

 

[UrBaN963]

At least it’s a point away from Mercedes if he gets it. But ham is coming

 

[Dave]

Merc making the lasting couple of laps interesting.

Leclerc has brand new soft tyres and yet Bottas and Hamilton are still trading fastest lap.

Spoke to soon, he finally manages it.

 

[Agent_Smith]

That Ferrari is still inherently slow in race trim. He should be a second or more per lap faster than the Mercs

Interesting race boring result and consolation Point for Leclerc

Not for Bottas supporters... finally!

Nice to see Bottas getting his elbows out though. Think he would've surrendered turn 1 to Lewis last year

 

[caroper]

Bottas is a new man this year I actually think that Bottas deserves a shot at the championship.

Hardly... did you not watch this race last year? He was leading Hamilton when he retired.
