It's a big unknown, so I have no expectations whatsoever. Let's just sit back and enjoy what's to come! Got everything crossed!

I don't think we can yet to match Red Bull or Mercedes but we are getting there. All we need to do for now is to keep the Racing Points on our back. It's becoming hard though with that Mercedes copycat.

Sadly bad pace at this early stage. But track temps are very high. So not really representative. Let’s see how things pan out

And we are going for a possible Podium against Aldon cause there is a possibility he burned his rubber in the fight with Hamilton. Let's see. That Racing Point behind us is persistent.

Nah it's impossible to match the Red Bull for now. Still Norris is doing a fantastic job and the team is matching Racing Point and it seems to be gaining for now.

Yeap. Perez has probably burned his rubber cause he is losing lots of time now. Mclaren can match the race pace of Racing Point and Ferrari.

I wouldn’t worry about dropping to 5th, overtaken by a Mercedes and a Red Bull is no particular surprise seeing as both of those cars are outright quicker. Sainz is slowly dropping Stroll and Perez can’t get past Lando so all is looking fairly decent thus far as best of the rest.

Well that answers the question if we can match the race pace of Racing Point and Ferraris. Mclaren seem to be getting better the lighter they become. We are gaining against Perez's Racing point and the Ferrari of Vettel. Leclerc is only gaining slightly more than Sainz due to pure talent.

Safety car. Better go and change tyres. That was very close with that tyre. We almost lost the position but unsafe release from Racing Point.

There is a chance with Albon now but Perez has chosen a softer tyre. We might have a long battle with him.

I wonder if the slower start is down to how long it takes for the Mclaren to get heat into the tyres? Bit nervous for the safety car release.

Thos mediums of Perez are not gonna hold to the end. They will definately be in a bad condition at the end of the race.

If Lando can keep that 3 second gap to Perez for 15 more laps, it could be very interesting towards the end of the race... He seems to have enough pace to do exactly that

The question is are the mediums of Perez gonna hold till the end? I have a feeling at the last 10 laps they are gonna drop dramatically. Safety car. It seems to work on our favor. Norris has to give it his all now. It's our chance.

His tires won’t probably drop dramatically, but Norris tires should be in better shape to mount an attack... In addition, Perez is known for taking very good care of his tires.

And, there is another Safety Car... Now it will really be an all out race to the finish
