So that’s now 3 Poms having a whinge and sook.

 

[Tandy]

Hold on Leclerc

 

[Cold Ghost]

Russell will ask Mercedes to invoke Silver Arrows rules.

 

[RWnBluey]

Oscar needs to hold on here

 

[Duck Farmer]

Leclerc is coming.

 

[gaskin]

Charles is catching Oscar now. We need a fight behind him again so he can pull away a bit.

 

[BomberFan355]

Oscar held George, I'm confident he can keep Charles behind.

They are just...

You want to overtake a Ferrari that has straight line speed going into straights. With an overtake instance.

You stupid or what in most cases.

Max and Kimi team mates at Merc next year?

 

[jb04]

Great work Kimi, make the luck count.

Youngest leader of the WDC!

Love ya work too Oscar.

 

[Cold Ghost]

Good race from Oscar. Sadly the SC took the air out of that race and I'm glad Bearman is OK.

 

[catstorm]

I'll take second

 

[StFly]

Oscar
1x Race.
1x 2nd place.

 

[smasha]

Great podium Oscar!

 

[Tandy]

All in all awesome effort by Oscar to hold on for 2nd. He’s getting better as a driver.

 

[gaskin]

The pace Kimi had was unreal. It makes me wonder if Oscar could have held on for the win if there was no safety car.

 

[satty]

There is getting kissed on the pecker kind of luck and then there is what Kimi got. Absolutely hur wrenching for Oscar, think he had the pace for a race win today.

 

[satty]

The pace Kimi had was unreal. It makes me wonder if Oscar could have held on for the win if there was no safety car.

I reckon he could have, he would have had to battle George first, and that wouldn't have been easy for him. That certainly would have dragged on for quite a lot of laps.

 

[StFly]

And no Brit on the podium = brilliant.

 

[Bedi]

Max and Kimi team mates at Merc next year?

that's what all the talk on pit lane is apparently
