The German keeps getting told Ricciardo is having problems, but has not been able to pounce.

Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveYou can just about see your tyres from the cockpit but it is all about the feel. When you start to feel them going you are not turning corners as sharp and that is what Hamilton will be feeling.
