Lando hasn’t lost sight of Hamilton so far and he is running on a similar pace to them… Not too bad

I was very upset by this race after Piastri DNF but now, seeing Lando staying more than 15 laps in the same pace as Sainz, Fernando and Lewis gives me hopes. The car has potential! Let's go boys 🧡💙

I believe that if there weren't any issues with Electronics the team could have goten a lot of points. He did 3 more pit stops than the rest. Do the math and see where he could have been.

The disappointment has made way for a fairly productive test session for Lando. Still plenty unknowns in terms of speed, but both he and Oscar showed decent pace outwith the issues. Work to do, we know from last year they will improve quickly over the opening rounds.

How much does a pit stop cost and where could Norris be if there weren't any electrical problems?

Impossible to know… The fact that he was stopping to so many points also allows them to take more of the tires since he doesn’t need them to last as long during an stint… It is a futile exercise.
