CL is not closing on LH

Currently they are the 2 fastest cars out there..lapping in 39.2 whereas top-3 lapping in 40.2

You must work for Ferrari? Content with a win, when a 1-2 was on the cards. Obviously we will be happy with a Carlos win. It’s a Ferrari win. But a 1-2 was possible here, they miss-managed this race from the get-go lost on on the safety car.

The 1-2 still there if Charles is fast enough, he lost his places due to holding the pack back too much under the SC, not sure how you blame that on anyone but the driver. He then made another mistake and let Lewis pass, but we can ignore that as well.

Charles has no pace on hards

[gump1480]

Now the pace has been upped by Sainz. It's a chess game at which Sainz is pretty good I guess. Ferrari shud just focus on getting it home from here on.

[drax]

I am assuming Carlos is just managing the race

[gump1480]

Charles has no pace on hards

I have F1 live timing and it doesn't seem that way.

[gump1480]

Now all are lapping in 39.1 to 39.3

Thanks for the info, just watching the broadcast and don’t have live timings

Just ignore that clown.

Charles has suddenly got within 1 second of hamilton now.

[patrese86]

Nobody can over take each other so I'd rather Charles keep out the dirty air and hopefully have some decent rubber left at the end of the race to take advantage.

[stefa]

CL upped his pace

[gump1480]

I think Sainz is just driving an up and down pace here. He drives 4-5 fast laps and then cools his tires. Very clever.

Now again he has backed off to 40.1

[Greig]

Charles coming on now.

[stefa]

Both CS and CL are doing yo yo with LT

[gump1480]

We must NOT get another SC as it will help RBs

[Greig]

Nice by Ocon there, good driving v Alonso.

[Greig]

Carlos says he can go 1 second faster....

[gump1480]

This is very good by Sainz. Preserving his tires and hopefully the win.

Lawson might be getting a radio call....

[stefa]

Why CL is not closing on LH?!?!

[gump1480]

Now again pace is upped to 39.2. But matched by everyone

[458 Italia]

I can't work out if Charles is deliberately staying over a second behind hamilton or what.

[Aviamata]

Why CL is not closing on LH?!?!

LH can't overtake LN too , dirty air maybe

[stefa]

LH can't overtake LN too , dirty air maybe

Maybe

[Aviamata]

20 laps to go come on Carlos bring it home !

[Greig]

SC possible.....

[stefa]

And another SC

[Aviamata]

Nooooo another SC

[drax]

SC right ?
