FORMULA 1 2018 PIRELLI UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX: RACE ***SPOILERS***

He doesn't need to. He has a gap (or will have once the stops are done) and needs to stay ahead, so much easier to keep the gap.

 

RedBull strats doing well putting Max in front of Bottas.

 

Nice. Seb ordered to let Kimi by!

 

Ferrari letting Kimi race

 

Max is going to have vettal

 

So Vettel was 9 sec behind Max, now he is 20 sec... why losing 11 by letting him drive the US that long???

Never have I had such a loss of confidence in a driver as I’ve had with Vettel.

Never have I seen such self destruct in F1 as Vettel.

 

Kimi very much in play here.

 

Lewis rears graining/blistering

 

Poor Leclerc

 

Elton will have to pit

 

Lewis goes over track limits.

No further investigation is the typical response.

 

Laughable

 

Looks that way; he better do it soon and then he will have much fresher tyres towards the end that everybody else.

 

Yup he not gonna make it to the end on them

 

But vettel was on the first corner and got nothing whilst sainz had a penalty for the same thing!

 

What is Merc waiting for?

 

Would have been a nice time for a 15 sec Elton pit....

 

This will be interesting..... Lewis has 18 laps of flat out pace to go while everyone manages their tires. Championship will be decided today based on what Kimi and Max do....

 

So Hamilton's tyres were10 laps older than Raikkonen's but now Raikkonen needs to make his last another 18 laps - 8 more than Hamilton managed...

And Hamilton only has 10 secs to make up.

 

Max v Ham errm this might be interesting

 

Buttocks is such a b****!

 

Botas the Puppet does his job again.....good boy....good boy....here is a treat....

 

Max is the last person Lewis wants to try to pass to get Kimi....
