Better bring Norris in and change his front wing also. He should have enough time.

Was that a bluff to force max in maybe?

Edit: oh no, he really brushed the wall! Luckily it was the soft safety barrier.

Let's see how it goes. That front wing thing was worrying. Hopefully nothing serious that will jeopardise our race.

That was waaay too close for comfort with the wall.

Why not bring Piastri in now and let him attack with a new hard?

Holding out for safety car, which could gift him 2nd. Or late charge on softs.

Because his pace is OK and if he comes on softs in 6 laps he'll make some more places.

Having 20s+ gain it was a dumb mistake. Anyway. Keep focusing Lando

Seems like that was the plan but Piastri not confident.

He'll be fine though, 3 s a lap faster when he pits to softs.

I would say let him make a pit stop distance. Russell is stuck behind Leclerc losing time.

When Russel gets past Charles, Oscar should pit.

It's time to pit. I was hoping for Leclerc to hold him for 4 more laps.

They are being not so bright with Piastri on a track where track position is king. Ferrari moment.
