Shame for Oscar, but needs to be on his toes with Lewis just pitting.

Do you think Perez defended dirty there?

Nah, that was OK.

Worst case, 3rd and 5th. Which in reality, still isn't bad.

[101FlyingDutchman]

Absolutely but it’s a shame the race pace wasn’t brilliant. Confusingly it was really good on high fuel.

Exactly. Any time you get two cars in top 5, that is a good day.

Green track and high fuel.

[Darth-Piekus]

Its still ok. Oscar has to improve his racing ability but he will learn.

[chrisgr]

Norris'tyres seem to drop fast in thr last couple laps.

Track temperature is really high and the car still doesn’t like them… Qualy was cooler

Pathetic comment… Simply clueless

I don’t understand where did all Piastri’s pace go. His pace on mediums in the first stint was good, but now suddenly he is slow.

[BigBeansBoy]

Seems to me the Mclaren is really hard on its tyres. That’s why it’s able to switch them on immediately on an outlap but now has really dropped off as the race has gone on

Might be nursing a car issue?
Had to stop early too to cover Perez, and for us with higher deg I think that’s not ideal in the slightest

It’s a very long stint in the Medium tire, longer than the first stint.

[SmallSoldier]

P5 should be safe… Even if Leclerc catches and passes Piastri, he has a 5 second penalty… Lando doing enough to keep P2
