Could this be a red flag? The barriers have moved.

I think Lando is P8 on "merit" now. He is on plan A, target plus 5, so he has one more pitstop but so does everyone else except Ferrari.

I look forward to Lando fighting on a new medium at the end.

LFG!

Safety car - will be fun!
Norris should pit.

I think they shouldn't have pitted, this has to be a red flag.

Confirmed - Lando lost 2 positions because of it.

Seemed like such an obvious red flag. Tecpro was completely out of shape.

Should have been red flagged earlier. But at 10th now with a 36 lap race.

Mclaren had a choice and made the wrong one.

It's a clear cut red flag - I have no idea why the team decided to pit him.

Yup...bad call from the Team. Was clear red flag. They look like amateurs with this call. 2 position lost for nothing.

They needed the marshalls to take a look probably, some kind of protocol. But it was certainly going to be a flag, should have stayed out.
