I have a feeling Stroll could have left him more space as Sainz arrived first in that corner and had the inside line. Fingers crossed for Norris to do a quick start. He has to step up his game. If Sainz is able to gain so many positions from starts then so can Norris.

:twisted: Any bets on how many cars will bin it on the next start?

Two RPs, 1 Renault, 1 Ferrari and 1 Red Bull. Now that would be funny.

Yes he could have the space was there, it's not a feeling, it's a fact.

But he also didn't need to give him more space, can can squeeze him a little to force him to back off.

It's risky, took the risk and it paid off for him, not for us. Done and dusted, nothing done wrong by anyone.

They say the Ferrari engine struggles this year, but it looked pretty pacey against the RP that was getting a tow from it.

Not a good start and I'm not sure if the car can do more than that unless we are set up for front tyres. If that isn't the case it just struggles a lot here.

I thinnk we can get past Perez eventually, everything else might be a bit too hard. The RP with no updates is slower than the Mclaren, but Strolls car is pretty racey.

Norris lacking a bit of pace at the moment, I think he's got new Mediums to put on at the next stop? Hopefully he shows more speed then.

Lando maintaining 2.5-3 seconds to Albon in front, we needed Stroll to keep behind Leclerc to avoid him running away... Let’s see if we can catch Perez

Maybe even to take Leclerc too. 6th would be OK.

I was rather hoping they'd have a tangle....

RP is so lucky so far. We on the other hand are very unlucky.

What are Sky talking about?

Lando is closing fast on Perez, not hanging around going nowhere.

Every Grand Prix you’re moaning about another team! Why don’t you just concentrate on McLaren mate?!?! Luck is part of racing as we’ve seen throughout history, sometimes for you other times against you. You rhetoric every week on this is very very boring now.....

It’s S3 where we loose so much time compared to Renault. Average in s1 and very good in s2. 0.4s off in S3

It’s going to make getting past Perez really hard. Somehow he has to stay close for the main straight
