I think the pit stop rules should be changed so that the car must be stationary for a minimum of four seconds.

I logged in and was about to post the same...Not a 'bad' race and not enough for me to switch off, because it's hardly over. Even though I know Max will win...

My mate just suggested the same. But then EVERY stop by every car would be exactly 4.0s and what's the point of that?

Interesting strategy from RBR....Sergio stops again and is now hauling in Bottas at 2 secs per lap gap down to 13 secs.

Now I work for a proper company, I sort of understand half the sponsors on these cars. Lots of technology companies.

Max doing it easy and Lewis asking what to do. Drive for second basically the answer!

Cant believe Leclerc is winning the DOD vote. I thought he has driven like a twat. Running into others left right and centre.

So Max wins from Lewis by a day or so with Bottas hanging on just to 3rd from Sergio.
