A safety car got on the track and everything seemed to be perfect for Hamilton and Mercedes.
“Max is stuck in traffic. He’s twelve seconds behind you. There is a safety car on the track, “Bonnington said on the radio.

However, his enthusiasm was not so great for a moment.
“Verstappen has decided to go to the pits,” Bonnington told him.

“Lewis, I’m wordless, absolutely wordless,” Bonnington replied in disbelief. At that moment, their communication ended.
