So far it looks like Mercedes-Benz were right.

Way too early for Inters, hopefully LeClerc ain't having points thrown away there.

Was thinking the exact same - terrible call

Jeez Gasly first pit stop and they put him on full wets ?!

Hamilton closing in on Verstappen big time

It's a big gamble to go inters, with the high track temps they will get eaten up pretty quickly in the parts where it's bone dry. The rain needs to spread across the whole track

Madness

Red Bull gambling on inters, seems pretty mental to me. Mercedes made the right decision. LeClerc is losing 4+ seconds a lap on his inters to a Williams.

ScrubsfanChris

LeClerc 10 seconds a lap slower than Vettel, Inters obviously not working yet.

Mercedes might have done better waiting an extra lap or two

Think they got a bit lucky with the timing. Couple of laps earlier and they might have gone for softs.

Faugheen

Hulk flying in these conditions as well. Closed in on Magnussen

They have some great tunes

skipper_G

Yeah they are back onto softs. Way too hot for that tyre

And now LeClerc back on Ultras ruined his race and everyone else including Gasly, Alonso and Verstappen

skipper_G

What were Toro Rosso thinking

Should be a fight between Hamilton and Kimi if Hamilton can't keep his tyres.

Cool_CM

Looks like this could be a master call by Mercedes.

Rossi IRL

Can Hamiltons ultras last the distance?

Faugheen

Come on. Absolutely piss it out of the heavens now for sh*ts and giggles

ACtually raining again.

I'd say more lucky than anything with their history.

Mike Litoris

That was a horrible gamble from Red Bull. As for TR.....

Don't mind the like of them and even Verstappen having a go at it.

More rain, Hamilton could win this yet.

Rossi IRL

Finally a bit of excitement

skipper_G

This is mental. Bone dry on one side and lashing on the other

Mike Litoris

Nice save by Leclerc that time!

Ghost Train

This is great

Faugheen

This is great.

Bit of luck involved; his tyres were gone anyway. Traffic really not helping the Finns.
