VER is on a second set of medium. He probably goes hard to the end.

Unlike Monza there's an argument that was protecting the team, but it's worth a look.

Gap to Leclerc is growing and he's on the meds. Did he cook his tyres?

Looks like piastri is struggling for tyre wear. The Ferraris look better
Just a fan's point of view

The undercut?

It was the obvious thing, Piastri said tyres were struggling. But probably would have not really mattered if Perez didn't cost Lando so much time.

Lando got absolutely shafted by Perez, but great pace to get back close to Oscar. Can see Lando pitting first and undercutting, unless Oscar starts holding him up then likely switch them.

Agreed. It’ll hurt the team otherwise. To secure 2nd and 3rd let NOR through

Oscar told he has older tyres - it did seem his tyre management was worse in the race than Lando but this will probably make it another controversy.

I hate to say it but Norris is a lot faster than Piastri, they need to swap them

Swapping was the right call.
