    Douglas Mcfarlane: How quickly and 'if' Lewis can pass Bottas quickly will make or break the race for Lewis.

    Mrinal: Red Bull makes same mistake. They should have pit right after Lewis pitted. When they will learn.

    Reminds me of Mansell and Piquet at Silverstone in '87. Hope Lewis does a dummy as he passes Max for the win!

    When Hamilton catches Verstappen - and it is looking more and more likely that he will - he will have so much more grip.

    This is a real thinking person's game. It is all about how fast you think you can go on new tyres. It is a fascinating piece of strategy calling.

    Verstappen is going to be counting down these laps. Still 17 to go. A safety car now would be very helpful.

    If not, he might even finish behind both Mercedes cars here.

    Stick or twist for Red Bull? They could win this, but also so easily come second or even third or worse.

    That brave call from Mercedes to pit Hamilton for a second time could be a moment of sheer genius from them. It's got Verstappen worried...

    Lovely move from Perez. You don't go around the outside of Daniel Ricciardo very easily.

    Sergio Perez has got ahead of Daniel Ricciardo with a super send around the outside. Brilliant from the current Red Bull man on the former Red Bull man.

    That's Perez into fifth.

    Cactus Jack: Red bull need to pit already.

    We are going to get a great Spanish grand prix.

  18. Postpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 9 May 2021

    Oh this is going to be so so good!

    Verstappen is told that Lewis Hamilton is going to catch him on the final lap!

    Lap 45 of 66. Bottas in second is surely going to get told to move out the way when Hamilton gets close to him. Verstappen, Bottas, Hamilton.

    Get the popcorn and enjoy.

    Once again Mercedes are able to work as a team to reel in the leader Verstappen. Bottas is second, with Hamilton back out on fresh tyres in third.

    Verstappen's going to have to do this on own as Sergio Perez is down in sixth, battling with Daniel Ricciardo for fifth.
