We still have every chance of P2. Pace to Max is close and we improve as the race goes on and we often find time on the harder compounds. We have everything to play for.

You know what I am thinking? Let's forget the WDC for this year in order not to be anxious anymore. We can still get the WCC. Let's enjoy what is left for this year and whatever goes.

Can we use Piastri as a shield to hold off those in front when they do their pit stops?

I never thought he had any real chance of a WDC anyway, I just want him to beat Mad Max.

Have been doing this mentally ever since everyone started talking up the WDC.

It just becomes really hard to do when every other sentence in the broadcast is lando max this lando max that.

If anyone knows a place to access the broadcast without any commentary I would be really appreciative

Sainz is flying now, tyre delta is big.

Edit: for 2 laps anyway, pace has evened out.

Yeah I suppose you are right. Why bother being anxious about the WDC. Let's enjoy our focus getting the WCC which I believe we have many chances of getting it. Let's enjoy the rest of the year and whatever happens, happens.

Personally I would go for one pit stop and use Oscar as a shield.

Why should we pit? PIA speed is 39.2, Sainz 39.3.

NOR and PIA matching SAI on hards. Keep them out, any safety car is golden but building tyre delta is great as well.

Lando purple S1.

I would say Piastri should play heavy defence. He must keep them behind at all costs and by any means nessesary.

We are going for the monza reverse? Or is everyone going 1 stop?
