What are Sky talking about?

Lando is closing fast on Perez, not hanging around going nowhere.
Was thinking exactly the same, he's taking lumps out of him the last 3 laps... DRS this lap?

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

I was rather hoping they'd have a tangle....
That would have been awesome! Lando now in 1.5 seconds of Perez and hopefully will be in DRS in a couple of laps... It’s hard because we lose some time to the RP in the last sector, but we are gaining in S2

Yeah I just hope we get him before the pitstops so we don't have to take life out of the new tyres.

Undercut!

Team on the radio looking at doing the undercut on Perez... We are so close to DRS range, let’s do it on track!

hahaha

Lando saw the DRS opportunity and stayed out to ensure the job was done.

RP is so lucky so far. We on the other hand are very unlucky.
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.....
I happen to live every moment. Hopefully lady luck will smile on McLaren soon.

With clean air... I really hope we can stay out long... We may have a big tire advantage later on and Kbyat should block people for us

Perez behind Leclerc and we have better pace than Leclerc

Having to old back to allow kyvat in has cost him and he’s back behind Perez

Well we are ahead enough of Kvyat to see how long, but I guess it depends on their speeds after they change tyres.

Can't see us making any more places barring an accident now, so I guess we should just do what we need to do to keep position.

Edit: pitted as I typed and got caught out. dammit.

Its strange because on a radio message before the pit stops, we were saying that we should undercut him.

I think that is the most we could do unless there is an incident and we have a safety car. Actually hold that thought cause Perez lost a part of the car and he's now losing time.
