    That was brilliant defence from Max, that time he saw what Lando was trying to do, he covered him off just enough.

    It's so close still, I'm amazed by how Lando is managing to keep it so close to Max Verstappen when Max had this seven-second lead for so long in the early stages.

    It's very clear that Verstappen is on the racing line in the breaking zone, and as Lando dives down the inside for his lunge, he only then starts to move across and only then started breaking.

    He's [Verstappen] such a thinking driver, if he's smart, he's going to use that DRS into Turn Three which means he can hopefully try and break it.
