Still 25 laps to go, but that decision to put Alsonso on softs is baffling... Before the first safety car it seemed clear that the ferraris were going to try to not stop again. So now he either has to try to make the softs last until the end, or be pretty much the only one having to stop again and pass everyone.

I think this might just turn out ok if these softs can hold on for a bit. He needs Perez to get past Leclerc.

He'll have to stop again and do a lot of overtakes though but they should be sitting ducks on old tyres... We'll see

Edit - ignore this, the softs are already going off FFS

That penalty for Stroll is pretty crazy, Alonso's lockup caused a concertina effect and everyone braking, and he didnt have much chance to avoid Ricciardo

Since Alo is not overtaking Perez, I think he's gonna try to go to the end on these tyres.

Yeah, unless there is another VSC or SC he might not even get points if he pits again. But with 30 lap old softs in the end he might get passed by lots of cars too...

Now’s the chance to go after Charles if he drops out of the DRS window.

Softs would be a sitting duck to the end. Still can't see a reason for why they tried softs.
The lighter car with fresh meds might go up to 7th but not much time to catch Russell I guess.

Maybe p7 is possible, possibly 1p for fastest lap too

Both MERCs ahead.. with HAM started at the back of grid. They screwed everything. It is impossible to fight for 4th position in championship with only 1 car
