Looks like we'll have it soon.

Please be a season where we can make the tyres last for ever....

3.2s stop for Norris. Still not stellar but at least it was safe

Danny was a little screwed by that pit stop. The pit stop was fine but his race was damaged by the fact he stayed one more lap out. Let's hope he can get Leclerc but at the moment it doesn't seem like.

He is pounding down the track now. Ric struggled with the DR# of leclerc in front.

I don't think he is faster than Leclerc. They seem evenly matched at the moment.

Was an early stop for the standard 2 stop. Hope he’s not taking out too much out of these Mediums. Pace is looking v good now

Race Pace is good... Norris in low 1:36’s, almost half a second faster than the cars behind him... But Bottas is one full second faster... Luckily Perez pitted so we won’t be fighting him... 9 seconds of Bottas and plenty of free air for Lando to protect the tires

Fernando triggered it... They had to stop to cover for him

No but before he could use DRS behind leclerc, which cancelled out the DRs of the following cars.

The tow also helped him stay in contention with leclerc. He will find it hard to get back on his tail now.

It's gonna be a little hard for Danny to catch Leclerc now as he seems to be a little slower.

On race pace we are closer to the front than last year.

If we are that is good. What was the difference last year in race pace? Also fantastic battle between Alonso, Sainz and Vettel.

Race pace on par with Ferrari. Defo faster than stroll. Only one to look out for is Perez

I believe is the tire management portion of the race... Lando is managing the gap to Leclerc and RiC is probably conserving tires
