Wolff has said that power in all the Merc PU's have been reduced as to concerns that mgu-k's could fail in a cloud of smoke.

Positive my friend . The Merc's "MAGIC" has issues .

The MGU-K "IS" the Merc's "MAGIC" .It's there where the MAGIC comes from..

The MAGIC = A GREMLIN !!!

Due to a maximum of three PU changes for the 2020 season, the PU's running right now are near their rated useful life (for some cars)....hopeful attrition is not influenced by this.

YELLOW ! Safety car on track . Perez DNF , sounds like his trans.just died ..

MAX in pit, took 2.3 sec.
BOT in pit
HAM in pit

HAM is "NOT HAPPY" with Toto's pitstop strategy !

TOP 7 is now running on hards...

Merc's "DAS" is very active behind the safety car ...
Won't be easy for MAX to keep his tyres on temp !

BOT should maybe think about racing VER.

Or Merc should tell him to let the racer through.

^ Not so easy as things are going into tyre management mode, the hards may not make it to the end.

Max needs to be wary of the 'stay out' trick by Merc and winning the race on flapping tyres!

Yeah .MAX should lift the pedal a bit ..The gap is big enough .

Strange .The GOAT is meanwhile nowhere...
10 laps to go . But the last 5 laps will be crucial !

Merc is lifting the pedal and MAX is still pushing . Gap is now 11.422 sec. !
8 laps to go...

Vibration in Max's car reported but 5 to go and Alex is gaining on HAM!
Looks like Seb will finish ahead of Lec.
