I still believe Medium for both drivers was an awful decission. Like the one not to give a fresh engine to Lando. As I said after quali...a weekend to forget.

Personally I don't have the data but what made the team think that the Mediums could handle for 36 laps?

Lando had no choice but to use mediums, both hards were used up.

As said, they did 38 last year, Ferrari did 31 at the start of the race on heavy cars. And it was 35, as one was the pre restart lap.

But..merc, haas, Alpine, Williams also thought they could do 36 laps, so it's mot a random punt.

Tsunoda really screwed himself with impatience there. Hope Piastri got no damage.

Ferrari did 31 on a full tank?

I am quite happy with Tsunoda spinning.

I think this is it, tyre management to the end.

Piastri still needs to improve. his racecraft in terms of saving tyres. Lando Norris is flying on the same mediums. Its a matter of time for Lando Norris to catch and pass piastri.

Drama! P7 and 8. Probably about as good as it'll get from here.
