Ferrari also seems to have a good racepace.

But the merc advantage is very clear

Now Ham gets past Norris as if he's standing still, are we seeing jet-mode 2 on the Mercs.

From what I can see , HONDA has a lot of work to do !

This time it will be very hard to close the gap vs Mercedes ..

That plenum chamber sensor trick is working for them well on the straight but it looks like they have something else there too. Bot is on a older engine?

Currently Checo is the key-factor ...

Hopefully he wakes up on time !

Striking distance HAM vs Checo is 4 laps ...

Hope Checo's not asleep like in previous episodes

More rain on the way reported it's drizzling and no dry line !

GuidoK · 10-10-2021, 07:49 AM

So BOT said that the intermediates were now virtually slicks but they drive still fine.
Maybe some will take the chance with next pitstop to go to slicks?
Would be a bold move.

No standing water anymore.

The Mercedes in the wet is running very well ..Even BOT is very fast in the wet ..
MAX can't close the gap ..Because the HONDA PU is too slow !

As you know both the Merc's PU have been replaced ...

It's very clear.. The Mercedes PU has more power !

HAM is already behind Checo ...
HAM is 0.9 sec faster !

Checo has no (0) chance ..

Max if trying to save his present inters i think dropping back from Bot a bit.

Wow well done Checo but can he keep it up, Ham's all over him...as Max comes in for fresh inters and returns behind Lec..

Blindside_137 · 10-10-2021, 08:01 AM

Pushing people into pit lane doesn't warrant investigation I see.

Good move from VER, making pit and entering again before PER/HAM

Vettel jumped the gun, was silly to put on meds as Ham still needs to come in?

GuidoK · 10-10-2021, 08:09 AM

So LEC and HAM may be on a 1 stop?

M5Rick · 10-10-2021, 08:11 AM

Ham told to come in!

Or a no stop. That at least makes this race more interesting. Aside from the checo Hamilton battle I think I could have skipped this one.
