[OFFICIAL] 2025 Formula 1 Season

[limmk]

Big DRS train behind LAW - HUL, GAS, COL, HAD and BEA are all in lockstep, waiting for the Kiwi to pit

 

[limmk]

GAS is asked to let COL through by Alpine, as the Argentine has already stopped

 

[limmk]

"I'm nowhere in this race mate, no idea what's happened," HAM says

"Pace is good, despite the damage," Riccardo Adami responds

 

[Jurong640]

Kimi Ant is now within DRS of Max

 

[limmk]

ANT's almost back in VER's DRS range now, as he's angling to make another pass on the world champion

 

[Jurong640]

and Max pits for another Hards

 

[limmk]

VER pits again, so that's ruined that fight with ANT. he's moved into a gap ahead of HAM

 

[limmk]

ANT responds to VER and gets the hard tyres - how was his in-lap? dide by side on the exit, but VER's ahead for now!

 

[Jurong640]

Kimi Ant pits to cover now

both 2.2 seconds

 

[limmk]

"Key question is whether we can get to the end without graining," PIA hears from Tom Stallard

The Australian reports that he's already got a band of graining appearing

 

[limmk]

Mercedes will presumably pit RUS soon, just to cover off the VER threat

 

[limmk]

It's RUS from PIA, as it stands. NOR is closing up on the two cars ahead, as LEC's been dropped a little bit here

 

[limmk]

VER and ANT are fifth and sixth after their second stops

 

[limmk]

VER isn't going much faster than RUS, so Mercedes is biding its time to extend the stint

 

[limmk]

GAS is now heading the DRS train at the back

 

[limmk]

RUS' going to make his second stop before he reaches the traffic at the back. he comes out behind LEC, which hands the lead to PIA

 

[limmk]

VER is 4s behind the RUS, as he returns to the circuit

 

[limmk]

NOR has been asked to hit the gas, as he's just 2.9s behind PIA - he's not going to one-stop here

 

[limmk]

Slightly slow stop for RUS there, but he had plenty of gap over VER to be safe

 

[limmk]

PIA says there's degradation but no graining, so his tyres are just starting to run out of juice
