Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveThat means... pit me, I don't want to be under cut thank you very much. He's playing the game is Sebastian Vettel. His pace on the last lap has been the same on the last few. I don't think he's going to lose it, he just wants to cover himself off.

Angie: It's about time we saw the ruthless side of Seb back
Steve Lank: Ferrari = shambles. The only way it could be worse would be if they had crashed into each other at the start!
Fish Hailu: The only option for Ferrari to turn this round is to delay Vettel at pit lane & let Leclerc pass. Risky strategy!
