Ok guys. Moment of truth. The car is better in race pace usually and becomes even better as it becomes lighter in fuel. Fingers crossed for Sainz to do one of his good starts and if possible pass Perez and Ricciardo and then play defence and of course Norris follows his example. In any case we don't need a repeat of Mugello. Best stay away from danger.

On another note do you believe that Renault and Racing Point have a faster car and by how much?

What happened there? That will cost the team the 3rd place today but let's see what happens to the end of the race.

Both drivers started well but it's like they lost their speed by the end of that straight getting passed by many when that shouldn't have happened.

Anyway. There is still Norris and he will go for only one pit stop and a full race.

According to skysports Sainz clipped Lando slightly and that is why he lost so many positions. Talk about badluck. Two in a row now. Mclaren is way more unlucky than the other contenders so far.

Not to mention another pathetic pit stop for the crew guy. Again rear left took a life to be changed. Luckly was safty car...but this is inaceptable for a team that want 3rd place in the championship.

I really didn't expected that from Sainz to be honest. He is experienced enough to avoid these kind of mistakes. Oh well. Let's see if Norris can go full attack and get some points. Call me meanie but it would be funny to see the Renaults have a small accident.

On another note the car seems to have problems.

Ya...was so stupid from Sainz. Affecting also Lando's race.

For the moment Lando can not pass the Williams. And he was passed by Albon.

Something is not well with the car. It's not performing as expected. It should be faster than the Williams, Haas, Ferrari and Alpha Tauri.

It’s performing fine. Just running a lot more downforce on the car. RUS is way quicker on the straight
