Max won't be able to hold off ANT and NOR with the boost/overtake modes I think

VER is lame duck, will get passed by ANT (done) and NOR soon...

... ANT vs. NOR for the win of the race ... my money is on my man ANT!

And there already comes ANT

And now NOR.

Fresh tyres and MERC PU are still king.

Still, being currently 3rd in a RB after that spin is incredible.

I mean look at RUS and LEC...they are still behind COL

After that spin Max was 8th, so lets see where he finishes and see how his performance payed off. My guess is pretty well....

This false overtaking is a joke, it's like kids with no talent at all !

Stop whining - this is the best racing action in years !

Real racers make work of all tools available, losers make excuses ...

ANT has a problem with paddles and throttle and is dropping back from his lead, could be a change in leader soon and a sniff of second is on for MAX.

I predict LEC, PIA, and RUS will get past Max on pace and new tires before the race is over. Maybe even HAM.

Unless mechanical problems undermine ANT, VER will finish 6th or lower.

LEC on Max' tail

And there goes LEC past Max

edit oh and Max takes it back.


And there goes LEC again.

For people who don't understand: this is what people mean with artificial, it's like picking up mariocart powerups

He gambled, he lost.
RUS should get him next. HAM may be too far.

Meanwhile, ANT is working around hardware problems and holding 1st by ~2.0 seconds. Impressive!

Colapinto (Alpine) and 2 Williams are on track to score points today!
And, Alonso might get Perrez for 15th - would be nice for him!

pretty much yeah. RUS is gaining 1sec/lap

But after that spin Max was 8th, so each place above that at the finish is of course a little victory

And in terms of little victories, Alonso just grabbed 1st place in Aston-Caddy grand prix!

RUS hit the back of Max' car?

They've already overtaken eachother and back. Lets see how often it's gonna repeat itself this time
