Piastri is burning these tyres and it won't be good for later if they go to the end.

Piastri using the benefit of clean air to get speed rather than more tyre life.

He will want to pit first if they pit again.

No matter the finishing order, at least one positive is that they kept the 1-2 into turn one for once. Gives confidence that a weakness has been addressed.

Norris is losing ground. He has to do one more pit stop.

We may not like it due to WDC consequences but Piastri looks to be quicker driver today.

Sainz will be taken by Norris.

Will Piastri stay out? Feels like they've left it too long to pit him.

This seems like a stupid move? Piastri was 5 seconds ahead of Leclerc and they pit?

If you keep him out you are risking only against Norris, which is debatable is that a bad thing at all?

Can't see us catching up Ferrari unless their tires drop like a rock, that mess at the first lap really messed up the team tactics.

Piastri being called into pits is an extremely stupid idea.

I don't see this going as wrong if they kept 1-2 through the first lap.... The move was so unnecessary. Regardless of the hypothetical 1-2 on who comes first Oscars bold move causing Lando to lose out to Leclerc has cost McLaren a definitive 1-2. The whole thing in Hungary about you are going to need Oscar to win the championship looks pretty BS now....
