Back to back stops by the crew. 💪
George follows Lewis in and it’s a clean stop - he rejoins back into the lead.
Going to the end on scrubbed Softs. 👊

Lewis: “Gap ahead man, gap ahead!”
Doesn’t sound like LH is done yet. 👀
307
@MercedesAMGF1

308
@MercedesAMGF1
Lewis makes that AMG power count and he motors past Checo into Turn 2!!! 😍
309
@MercedesAMGF1
This should be good. ⚔️ Checo is one of the very best defensive drivers on the grid. 💪

@MercedesAMGF1
Checo can’t live with George’s pace out front. 🔥
He’s dropping back into the clutches of LH. 🦈

@MercedesAMGF1
Carlos is in on lap 37/71 moving Lewis back up into third.
Checo the next car up the road. Gap is 4.8s. Let’s get him. 👊

@MercedesAMGF1
Lap 30/71 and Lewis boxes from the lead. 👌
He rejoins in P4, 7.9s behind Carlos. Mediums on his Mercedes. 🟡
313
@MercedesAMGF1
Lewis takes half a second out of Checo on that last lap. The gap to P2 is down to 6.6s. He’s closing in… 👀
314
@MercedesAMGF1
The Brasilian crowd LOVED that! Lewis takes P4 from Lando’s McLaren. 👏
Next car on the list is Carlos. Let’s go hunting, LH. 🦈🔥
315
@MercedesAMGF1
That’s P5. 👊 Lewis motors past Seb and makes the pass stick into Turn 1.
316
@MercedesAMGF1
Lewis: “That was no racing incident, mate.” 🤷♂️
317
@MercedesAMGF1
Lewis stays out after that tangle with Max and he’s got his foot down! 💪
He’s back into P6 already and closing in on Seb’s Aston. 👀

@MercedesAMGF1
😣 There’s contact between Lewis and Max on the restart and Lewis is going to have to box.
