How have merc not pitted George yet.
Are you new to F1?

A safety car would change things significantly.

Wonder if it’s a pressure issue for Max’s DRS.
Wonder if he left it closed at the short section and tried on the straight it would work??

Great work by the team pitting him though. He was clearly getting agitated being stuck behind a slow merc

Ferrari gifted this one to redbull. Absolutely distressing as a Ferrari fan, but what goes around comes around I guess and redbull has had their share of sh*t luck.

Some days just be like this.

Its a shame Lewis was barged out, with Russel doing well and a Lewis FL and not far from Saniz it'd have being good to see what position he could be, probably 4th at the mo

Max will need to pit again. Checo can probably reach the end.

It’s well known where your allegiances are…
Team orders in F1 have been at play forever. Wouldn’t surprise me if they did protect the championship charge on a day where LEC retires.

And? Perez is hardly gaining. When Max comes out of the pits he will be 3 seconds faster a lap.

Usually their is claims of butler, fake etc, when a team orders a driver over early in the season. Why should Max be exempt.

Sure, but I guess we should wait until the race is over before drawing conclusions there.

I wouldn’t want team orders either. Proper racing would be far preferred. But if they have given it i can understand it. Not heard so yet. At the moment it’s just the offset strategy so let’s see what happens?

6 lap newer tyres for max who has intermittent DRS against a faster RB than the Merc.

Hardly destroyed the race of Perez has it.

Exactly. Depending on which driver gets the service, the reaction is quite different.
