Bah, undercut by Perez, and lost maybe a second waiting for space to exit
Its strange because on a radio message before the pit stops, we were saying that we should undercut him.
Lando saw the opportunity to stay out.

To be fair, the team were probably right and Lando should have come in :/

This will close us up to Perez for the end of the race.

I'd stay out if I were them.

Justice has been delivered from Monza. A chance to get Perez now.

Safety Car... Stroll out, this is great for us!!! We needed RP to score less points today

The tires seem to be struggling a lot, I don’t think staying out was a good idea

Helps Perez as his tyre life was marginal. Net at least 1 place up and now actually not many points lost in this race either for the constructors championship

It was a risk but if we had, we'd be a place ahead now with a free change under the Red Flag :(

With Masi's tendancy to call a full safety car or red falg whenever marshals are on track, you wonder if teams are going to start second-guessing him and not stop under safety cars in the future.

Have to be proactive in those situations. No need to gamble. Even on softs from this restart perez will be marginal, he ate his first set badly. Good clean start off the line would help!

Two races now we have 3 red flags total. Makes me wonder how many of them are legit. Also Racing Point might have lost another engine.

It will be a fun sprint to the finish... Hoping for one more position!

Shame they pitted Norris, if they would wait out he would get 3rd and free rubber.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Well the car is not that fast as Renault or Red Bull here and it seems to be on par with Perez but you never know what will happen now as the car is gaining a lot of performance on low fuel.
