This is apparently a reason why they needed a change

Be nice to know how many laps that set has done, which is what really matters. Considering they do a warmup lap and burnouts, I'm fairly certain this would not have been an issue.
They have to be similarly aged replacements, don’t they? So presumably no ‘unfair’ advantage. He might have a lap less in them at most.

There’s a lot more elevation change on that straight than you might think from the regular camera shots.

Can you feel it? The tension in the air? That is emotional content, there's no anger, or any silly sentimentality, everyone is ready. Everyone is serious everyone has that intensity to fight. That is emotional content, they are fully engaged and involved in the process.

The Alpha Tauris really did have a superb qualifying, didn’t they.

According to the live timing Verstappen's starting tyres are one lap old, so that's a massive advantage, if true

One lap old replacements. That’s pretty unfair for all the other drivers.

LeClerc looks like a cork in the bottle here.

Yeah, that was a good job from Hamilton. Did what he had to do. Verstappen really needs to get past LeClerc here. Hamilton not really pulling away though but far enough ahead in the right places.
