Great racing, come on Lando. Still got tyre delta for rest of stint over Max. Second a lap quicker last time round.

Edit: correction, tyre delta for the rest of the race actually.

We can go nuts now knowing we can make scrubbed softs go for 20 laps.

I think Russell is going to kill any chance of a race for the win with all of his early stopping
Just a fan's point of view

Wow, Russel is so easily fooled.
I'd say that was jus great racing from both.
NOR was not going to attack in T1 - he defended too much and lost the position.

I think the plan is for Lando to go on used softs in the end.

The second pit stop came earlier from what I believed. Maybe now it begins to make small sense to try to keep fresher tires towards the end. Maybe the team knows that we will be faster with empty tanks. Also I heard from tv coverage that both us and Verstappen dont have new meds. Is it true?

Strategy looks to be a good call, not sure how much Max is trying to eek his tyres out to neutralise the advantage.

Lando’s pace is really strong… Already below the 7 second mark… And with the tire delta, he should be able to keep on closing… He should also be able to build a tire delta for the last stint, which could prove critical

I like that they are doing what they can to challenge at the end. Settling for 2nd, would have been defeatist.

Seemingly more chance than anything else.

RUS is slower on Hard than NOR on Medium at the moment - great work by the team - extend the stint.

They lost track position on the track which has the worst dirty air effect on the calendar. The win slipped away there, they're just trying something different. I was worried they lost the podium while trying to go for the win, but at least the car had pace over Mercedes.

RUS getting ahead was the biggest issue - they lost time and are fighting back. But I am quite happy with the strategy, it makes sense and will give them the biggest chance from the hand they have been dealt.

VER trying to go onto his new softs - losting a lot of time - NOR is 4.4 behind.

The gap to Max before the Pit Stops was 4 seconds… The gap is now is 4 seconds… The strategy is working
