2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

Lando was faster at the start, and the much faster on the new tyres. Not sure it's controversial at all.

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

Piastri is going to struggle to score a podium. No point in dragging Lando into that fight as well

[mwillems]

They've swapped, it's good.

Russell is one stopping.

Lando lapping a bit quicker then Verstappen.

[mwillems]

Meds have dropped off on Lec.

Lando lapping a bit quicker then Verstappen.

He'll be managing his tyres.

Yeah, Lando started to manage his tyres and is slower now. So best case is P2-P3. Hopefully we keep it. Team deserves it.

[FittingMechanics]

Piastri is currently under threat from Russel. He may need to fight for the podium.

[Ben1980]

I'm guessing Piastri will need to overtake Russell for 3rd.

[mwillems]

Lec keeps eating into the gap and then losing it again. Seems like he was trying to get more time from his tyres, and then cooked them again.

[mwillems]

Russell will be a sitting duck at the end, I think.
We will slot into free air behind Russell.

Russell will be a sitting duck at the end, I think.

Should be, he was doing 39s at the end of his first stint.

[Ben1980]

Piastri to pit and cover Leclerc

[mwillems]

Russell being told to go faster.

Oscar needs to watch out for the Ferraris too, as Leclerc pits. Oscar in next lap.
