HAM is pulling the fastest laps...again and again ...

HAM should have gotten a penalty in the incident . And even then , he would pull away again !
Ehhh I don't know about a penalty. Give the spot maybe.

But max on those tires would have cost him the spot anyways.

It looks like starting on the soft was really detrimental to VER. The non-penalty is a non-factor and would have changed nothing just would have delayed HAM taking the lead.

Yes it is what it is. Racepace on sunday for HAM in the Merc is extreme.

I know Lewis will always pull away from Max but I wonder if he could overtake Max if he somehow got in front

It's the only thing they can do (attack by strategy change).
But I don't think it's going to help. The difference is just too big.
HAM is just so quick today in the merc.

The only thing that really speaks for Max is that I think he is better at coping with different situations.
Both HAM and the Merc team are I think really good at executing how they planned things in advance, but with strange situations on the track RB is better.

Now it's time for Max to put the hammer down if he can. HAM was putting in fastest laps before the VSC.

With the Mercedes being inherently faster, the gap should go down but not as easy as one may think

They didn't want max to stay out and get track position. But max would have been a sitting duck and merc definitely have screwed HAM

Pitting would have been the safest strategy for a Mercedes. Despite being behind all race, RB has received all the breaks they needed. Now VER just needs to race to the end and see what happens.

Maybe Max should learn to yield and not turn in on drivers while expecting them to give way to his bullying tactics.
