Good luck and a clear start to the team today securing 4th and 5th and then try to push for 3rd. See if we can exploit any Max and Lewis scuffle. Going with the soft though is a risk.

I love the aggressiveness… Glad the team went for something different and the Soft Tires… Let’s do this!

Gasly hit Daniel, let’s hope there isn’t any damage… P3-P4 after the start

The Safety Car is good for the team I believe… Saves a few laps on the tires and should have better temperature for the restart.

Still Ferrari are lucky here lol, with Gasly out they both gain a free position.

Didn’t expect the RBR to pull so much time so quick on the McLaren… But, 6 more laps and tomorrow we can start P2-P3

How much more can Lando keep Hamilton behind?

Seems he has just enough juice before the straight to keep him behind. Think he might make it!

Maybe MCL are preserving tyres, given they can't get Max. Making sure the softs last to the end?

Till the end. The safety car helped us with the tyres.

I hope we don't see another year with these sprint races.

I think McLaren race pace is just about 4 - 5 tenths down on the Red Bull. Over a single lap they are very close.

I don't like it at all either.

We will presumably start on the mediums tomorrow, so that should allow us to push from the get-go. Still, there's a deficit to RB and Merc, but if we can get ahead, we can definitely stay ahead as Lando proved today.

P2 and P3 on the grid tomorrow. Pretty sweet.

Hopefully a good race with both cars up top for the championship. There is a decent chance for a podium, Verstappen and Hamilton are probably sure thing for a podium but Perez and Bottas might struggle coming through the field.
