At least we are not unlucky with both cars. Ricciardo won some, lost some.

It played well for Dani… Lando jumped Gasley… Magnussen I believe stayed out, that might hurt him

Hulkenberg hasn’t pit either… That will hurt him in the restart with a lot of people with fresh tires behind it

Hamilton, Magnussesn and Hulkenberg.

So we are net 9th-10th. Hamilton will probably make it work so we are fighting for 10th.

Hopefully pace on hards is a bit better and we can go overtake.

Smart move would be for Ricciardo to be ready to let Lando through immediately.

RIC’s pace on the Hards was actually pretty good, of course it is comparing it with used Mediums on the guys in front of him, but mid 1:35’s wasn’t bad at all… That’s how he managed to get in front of NOR and STR even when he pitted in the regular window

Yeah, he was 15 seconds ahead of Stroll. Hopefully it works a bit better for us than Medium.

Pace is not horrible like last week, but the midfield is so tight that a tenth per lap makes a huge difference in position.

FP2 longruns were quite accurate it seems. Generally lacking 3-4 tenths per lap to Alonso in the Alpine (depending on the situation we can match them at some stages though), and at most 1-2 tenths to AlphaTauri, but with the hards, the advantage has apparently swinged to McLaren against the AlphaTauri.

Team is arranging this. I really like that they work together like that.
