With the speed that Norris has he should be able to make a lot of passes on the restart and get back on track. Piastri has another chance to get Ricciardo.

Yeah thats got to be a flag. But Norris pits.
Seemed like such an obvious red flag. Tecpro was completely out of shape.
Yup...bad call from the Team. Was clear red flag. They look like amateurs with this call. 2 position lost for nothing.
or they will revert positions to previous lap before the red flag as usual and Lando might be back where he was

Now Lando Norris must be feeling mad for his mistakes yesterday. Today he is the fastest in the race and it makes me wonder what he could have done if he started from much higher up.

Norris has used his new hards and has a long way to go in this race.

I think Lando has a new medium.

EDIT: correction, they have a lightly used medium (one hotlap in Q1).

Before the race
"Lando and Oscar both go in with a new Hard, a new Medium and one lightly used Medium that did a flying lap in Q1. Additionally, Oscar has three used Softs and Lando, as a consequence of elimination in Q1, has one used Soft and three new Softs."

I don't think the Mediums can hold for that long. We are talking about 36 Laps.

And then lose it all when his tyres go.
