He needs to take care if the tyres then attack.

Strategy will win this.

From what I see today Norris wont be able to be world champion with appearances like these. Piastri is evolving to be number 1 and it wont be long.

Both Mclarens are unable to pass
Im afraid they might be screwed. They dont seem to have the top speed to pass.
The start was ok, but he touched the gravel exiting T1, and that put him.on the backfoot.

I'm much more worried about the pace than Norris mistake. They sacrificed qualification pace for being essentially same with race pace.

Norris start just looked like he came up behind Hamilton and Perez, and it caught him out.

We don't have the pace though.

It seems like McLaren blue balled everyone with FP2. Pace is nothing impressive.

The sacrifice for Q was not worth it, they don't have the pace, prob not a podium finish

Mclaren get faster as the car goes lighter. That is the reason we attack and are fast in the last stint.

Piastri looks great

They should have pit Lando, mediums aren't working for him. But yeah I agree, Piastri is showing how its done.

They are going long. Hopefully Lando will hinder Hamilton.

That said, they just called for 100 pc pace.
