Piastri continues to have good pace. Lapping similar to LEC/VER.

He is on his second set of Hards so he will go to medium or soft at the end. Piastri looking very aggressive - not waiting to overtake. I like it!

He was forced to pit after the incident with Hamilton… so yes, i would expect him to go long on the Hards and a last sting in Mediums

It looks like PIA is P5 on track at the moment. After others do their second pitstop.

The Lando incident hurts… The car seems to have great race pace to be honest… Let’s see how hear can Oscar get… he is racy and enjoying the fights… already caught up to Gasly who started way up the field

Do you think others are not going to stop anymore? If they are to the end - not that good, but if they are on same strategy this is stellar pace.

I believe all front runners will stop again… This is a 2 stopper

The last Safety Car changes everything though… Damn it… McLaren would be in a great place with both cars right now :(

This sucks. PER and VER are now on two stops.

This safety car hurt Oscar but the pace is great, maybe we get another safety car when it helps Oscar.

With 22 laps to go, yes… Better to get track position at this point… Go for another 8 laps and go in for mediums or Softs

Just switched on at the Safety Car. Looks too early for the Mediums. Great race by Piastri, sounds like there has been carnage! Early stop for Piastri?

Just needs to pound round the track now and make a gap.

He started on hards, got bumped in the corner with Hamilton - both got a puncture but Hamilton was much more unlucky as it deflated after pitstop line. Piastri didn't lose much.

He has great pace but he needs to stop once more - others are to the end. Unfortunate timing of last safety car.
