gaps between the 4 holding steady at the moment, looks like they might let lewis go past bottas to have a go at the reds

yup they swapped them, lewis promised to let bottas back through if he cant get past kimi and seb but a chance for him to be a massive dickhead and just not...

lewis flying, a second quicker than reds

kimi's own team hates him

the talk of strategy on the american broadcast is hilarious. if this is really ferrari's plan, they are idiots. they are basically saying defend with kimi's good car to save vettels crap one instead of just letting kimi sail through then having vettel slow down lewis as much as he can.

The only thing Ferrari gains from having Kimi win is that Ham would only get 18 points. Probably better to go for the tiny chance that Ham actually loses ground

Super stupid to not have Kimi within a second of Vettel tho

seb just about quick enough to give kimi enough cushion to defend comfortably

There's 0 chance they actually let Bottas pass again right? Lol

i think they will

tho max catching bottas pretty quickly, swapping the mercs back round might not be a simple task if they leave it too late

Letting Bottas through would be giving up on the win though. Lewis still has a chance.

assuming max cant catch up they'll swap them on the last lap if lewis cant get past kimi

hmm max now right up the arse of bottas, i think they might've left it too late to switch

was vettels car even ****ed? never heard what it was and he didn't seem to be in too much trouble.

just about managed the swap
looks like seb's steering was a bit off but only took a handful of tenths off his lap time, which aint enough in hungary

Hats off to Lewis

Still not sure how Ferrari's strategy worked for 30 ****ing laps

note to max: need to crash into all of the other 5 contenders next time, not just your teammate

sky comms talking about how max woulda had a chance to win without his 10 second penalty cos he finished within 10s of seb, but thats bs the only reason he was so much faster was cos he spent most of the race in clear air

Ferraris were quicker in qualifying and to start of the race they were pulling away with relative ease. Some of that was Bottas being ahead of Lewis but Seb had about 3.5 on Kimi when his lap times started crashing and it went to 1 sec in a hurry with Bottas getting closer too. Could clearly see he was avoiding the curbs too. Lucky that this happened in Hungary which allowed them to hold on but imo without the steering problems this is an easy 1/2 for Ferrari instead I'd squeaky bum time. Brilliant job by Kimi.
