Halfway! Ham closing a bit more which is expected and Checo may again be used to disrupt Hams tyre window.

MAX in pit !

26 laps to go...

Checo in pit.... Why ?

gatorfast · 10-24-2021, 03:56 PM

Is this a 3 stop race? Very early second pit.

Did he have mediums last time? and he has no drink bottle.

Checo didn't had a new set of mediums ...only a used set .

Average pitstop takes +/- 20sec. If HAM pits , once again he comes 5 sec. behind MAX ..

HAM is losing time => 1.5 sec/lap !

Interesting to pull Max in for fresher hards, if Ham pulls in for softs at the end he'll be behind Max I think.

Mr Pete · 10-24-2021, 04:04 PM

Is Mercedes aiming for 1 stop? Whenever Lewis pits, I don't see how he gets past Checo

Edit: I'm an idiot

What a cat and mouse game this is, Max will have to ease of a fraction to make the end,Ham will be going quick now.

Mr Pete · 10-24-2021, 04:15 PM

The last 5 laps will be exciting. Ham is catching up

HAM's tires won't last at this pace ..

I was thinking about this. I'm curious how much grip Ham has left because he was pushing hard to catch up

Amazing race!

TheBingoBalls · 10-24-2021, 04:40 PM

That DRS at the perfect time for VER. Wow. Don't know if HAM would have passed VER but that DRS ensured VER would stay ahead.

But what a race!

I think Max will do it now.
