Looks like Aston just can't keep in races, this is good news.

Perez has a 5 second Penalty, this could help.

Im not sure if it would be fair for Norris to have goten a penalty. I think he lost more than he gained by that jump start.

Oscar doesnt have enough top speed to get Hamilton.

Oscar needs to clear Lewis ASAP, this is destroying his race. Lando hanging on to those mediums very nicely!

Piastri showing his inexperience unfortunately. Shows he still has a bit learn

We need to keep Leclerc out of the DRS. Pace is decent when he's far enough behind

Car pace looks 3rd best here- promising in high speed bends but a clear step required in DRS and trimming drag.

Very intrigued to see what may be in the pipeline but crikey, that step to Max is enormous isn’t it.

I don't think it's that enormous that can't be covered with upgrades like last year's quality.

Piastri is in a dangerous spot with Alonso. Alonso is running in free air protecting his tyres while Piastri is eating his tyres sitting behind Hamilton.

Watch out for Alonso closing on Piastri towards the end of the race

DRS looks practically ineffectual. Other than that it's honestly not bad at all.

Only 17 laps left. Does Oscar have a Soft ready to use for a final stint to try an undercut?

Hard runners are probably going to the end, so would be pointless to stop. He has 4th in the bag atm.

Lando needs to box soon, running out of time to overtake cars in the final stint.

COME ON OSCAR. 2nd mistake in the same place. And now Hamilton is going Soft. I feel like Norris was screwed today as they are too far behind. Why not pit him earlier?

Embarrassing top speed, could've been a very good race.

Screwed Norris over with the strategy... Should've been an easy 4-5
