Was it that hard to double stack at the start? I don't think they were that close when entering the pits.

[trinidefender]

Yes it was that hard to double stack. They were running one behind each other. With a pit lane full of cars that's a death wish.

[trinidefender]

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

What should they have done? They couldn't double stack in the pit lane under the safety car. That would have been a death wish.

[Darth-Piekus]

I mean how much more back would Norris be if he had a slight delay due to the double stack compared to what he is now? Would he lose like what 1 second, 2 seconds? I feel like he lost much more by not double stacking.

Looking like Norris' softs have gone.

EDIT: Or maybe not...

[Marc.W]

Well we don't have top speed to pass anyone, so probably exactly where he is now

[Xero]

Looking forward to Suzuka though, that high speed advantage is superb.

He's struggling in the Ferraris dirty air

[Marc.W]

He's 3 seconds back, he's not getting affected by the dirty air

Yeah, was a bit of an over reaction to how close Hamilton got that lap.

[Marc.W]

If Lando actually catches Bearman that'll give Hamilton the position IMO

Yea I think the soft tyres was the wrong choice in hindsight. Hulkenberg on his hards is lapping within a tenth or 2 of Lando

[UnaF1]

As things stand, straight line speed is something to worry about, and there's a possibility of RBR winning all the races this season.

Yeah, the softs are tired now. Perhaps Norris should have pitted earlier.

[Ben1980]

Softs not as fast as hoped. And Hards not dropping as much as hoped.

But, still the obvious thing to do. Double stacking was wrong call.
