You dont seem to understand what I am implying. Yes they are the dominant team but in the past when they were not the sister team usually lets them pass while others have to sweat to pass them. It's been discussed by media and many others. Im not the first or last to mention it. Claiming that it didnt happen is simply naitivity.

Possible rain at lap 60 - let's shuffle the cards once more.

Yeah, clear as day.

I'd forbid customer teams due to that.

We're having the same issue that we had in Spa. Fast in clear air and certain sections of the track but just too slow on the straights to make an overtake stick.

The other rear wing would've been preferable. But I guess they expected to have track position...

It remains to be seen. That rear wing will be on the next one or two races and see if it makes a difference.

Without strategy mistakes at the start of the race, we would have easy podium.

Depends if that rain really does come down. Fingers crossed 🤞 it will

Lando is very unaggressive. That way you can not get anywhere

Struggling in S2 which is hindering overtaking down the main straight

The rain that is coming looks heavy.

Piastris pace on meds looked strong and you fancied him to do well. More poor luck.

That mistake at the start costed the whole 2nd place. But perhaps straight to wets might do the difference?
