The podium is lost... Lando really cant catch a break....
How so? Perez will probably get us, but Lando had better pace than Leclerc

Why? Everyone has the same tires?

I thought Lando was going to wait for full safety, who knows where this will go now.
Waiting for a SC wouldn't really help him. VSC pit was a good decision.
It would have just kept the tyres a little fresher is all and go further into the race. SC will see them bunch up anyway.

Everyone has the same tyres. I think it worked perfectly for 2nd place

Yes but pitting under SC is very risky - if you miss the pit entry you could end up getting bunched up by SC.

Ferrari is allways faster in the second half. All the buffer he had he lost...

I think most will attempt a one stop to the end now - it will be interesting to see if it can be done. Ball is in Lando and LEC court as they showed they can keep the tyres alive.

Our car seemed to fire up tyres better in the rain - maybe it helps with this restart.

I think there's usually plenty of time, but it is a small risk.

It would be good if Alonso can overtake Perez on the restart.

Yep. We're looking at pictures and there is some diffuser damage.

I didn't notice any contact! But OK.

Oscar we see some damage, we've lost some CLR [Coefficient of Lift – rear] equivalent to three or four holes of front wing so we'll have to manage that carefully. Give us some feedback once you're had a couple of real laps.
