They are being not so bright with Piastri on a track where track position is king. Ferrari moment.
Lewis is struggling and Russell overcut them. It's better to have pace advantage so that he can get past both.

Yes but by undercutting them he has clean air and a podium and not depend on a possible overtake which is hard here.

Too long to go on softs. He should get past both Mercs with this offset.

He's back I'm the position he was in earlier, only with a massive tyre delta.

If he had better pace to make it to lap 40ish, then softs would have been a choice. But it's risky to go softs with this many laps.

Piastri better pull off the race of his life from here on out. Epic overtake on Hamilton.

As I said, Lewis was struggling, let's see if he can get George now.

Let's go kid. 22 laps. Let's get them. The new tyres should give him a huge advantage. He might have a chance to get even Max.

Hamilton was good for 20 odd laps but it might have been hairy at the end of the race so youre probably right. Shame Charles didn't stay out for a couple more laps

If he gets a podium then fair play, he'll have rescued a poor Saturday.

Lando has to get the fastest lap as Leclerc stole it.

Getting Max is a huge ask, but the pace is in the car as demonstrated by Norris.
