Are we going to one stop...? Sounds like it's plan A plus 5!

Yeah I feel like he may well have it, but let's see how the hards go, we can push on these tyres.

Russel is staying out to slow us down.

VER has 0.5s more pace - but he is on mediums compared to our hard.

I am not sure if you can overtake someone with 0.5s of advantage - or at least I hope they cannot.

He's managing his tyres and the gap.

He is not a superman. He would have closed the gap in first stint if he had so much more pace.

Team seems to think to go plan B - my guess is one stop as VER has to stop once more.

I don't think that is a good idea.

Personally I just think he's the master of knowing how to close the gaps and keep the tyres in the window. It's so hot and he's on meds.

Max should not be able to hold that fast pace with the mediums for long.

One thing is to reach Norris and another to pass him. Let the team give it our all and whatever happens happens.

After team talked about plan B - Lando seems to go faster?

Maybe plan A was one stop.

Can we 1 stop, or are the team playing games over the radio again?
