We've dropped the Ferrari DRS and now they will fight each other.

Alonso on softs.

The race is opening up for us.
Piastri looks a bit slow to me. He's dropping off Norris a fair bit and Ferraris lurking

Our pace is fairly decent. Faster than Ferrari, not enough fast comparing to Max as we expected, but it is satisfying. Anyway c’mon Mekies.

Agreed, the gap to Leclerc is only growing slowly. Wasn't sure if he was managing tyres and the gap.

The team stream says it was behind Perez going very slow.

Oscar struggled with Tyres why he pitted so early. Maybe made red bull pit earlier than anticipated.
