Hamilton's left rear looks awful with a big groove in it. No way he is going to the end of the race.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No chance these get home.

 

[The Bear]

This has been a good race for a change. Actually been kept interested watching it live.

 

[The Bear]

If Bottas let's him by he's an idiot.

 

[Tredman]

Didn't have much choice really.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmmm. Sounds like a new rule for Belgium that the same engine mode must be used for an entire race weekend. That’s a bit bollocks. Anti-Hammertime legislation.

 

[The Bear]

Every team has different engine modes they use for qualifying and the race. I can't see it making much difference. Mercedes might have a slightly better mode but I doubt its massively better.

 

[Nando]

That's been coming all weekend - although what Ocon is doing there I don't know.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sounds like Magnussen might be getting some of the blame there.

 

[Kenny]

No punishments handed out for the incident

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Racing Points look quick as fuck here

 

[The Bear]

Shame Russell couldn't make it through.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Vettel misses Q3 again.

 

[Nando]

Absolutely spectacular racing in the F2 race once again.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Gutted for Illott. He had that won.

 

[Nando]

He let the Championship lead get to him there, wasn't brave enough wheel to wheel and got swallowed up. He should have won comfortably with his tyre advantage.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sprint race is on now. Illott in third at the moment.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I was never a big Nico fan when he was driving but the insights he gives when he is doing these occasional comms stints is really good stuff.

 

[Kenny]

Agree. He has been superb this weekend.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I hope he does more of it. Seems to have a good chemistry with Brundle and Chandhook
