Both Lando and Oscar made excellent starts too. Lando gained 2 spots and Oscar gained 3.

Regardless of their position at the end of the race, I just hope they can finish it without issues… Just a clean and normal race… If the pace allows points, awesome… and if it doesn’t, unless let us learn more about the car.

Albon’s spin is the risk when running too low DF in order to get additional top speed.

I believe that the MCL60 allows for good tire management, if they are all going to the end on Hards it would be very telling if that’s the case

Interesting comments from Horner on Zak, Dan and his time at McLaren. Wonder what bad habits they are referring to from his McLaren stint and what they have seen in the RBR sim.

Hopefully Oscar and Lando can get a clean run at it today and the race pace is alot better than qualli. Would be nice to get on the board with some points.
Horner is just being himself. He loves to stir things and paint others in a bad light, hence the ambiguity, he just throws shade for the sake of it. There are some things he says I just ignore, like the comment above.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

I was surprised how long it took Perez to catch up to Lando.

The first bit of luck the team have had this year so far! Nice to have points on the board, now they just need a car to be able to achieve this on a regular basis. Well done team =D>
