Perez is a threat.

Absolutely. I’m sorta glad they swapped as NOR seems to be able to keep a way higher pace on the hards

I think he was faster before but managing the gap. Naturally they wanted to cover Lewis, but I think he's also been set free. not that he will get Max, but you have to be in it to win it, if there are any RB errors.

The car is not loving the Hard… Hopefully they can hold on for 10 more laps and then a switch to mediums is on the cards

Feels like at this point main hope is that Perez’s tyres will drop off before he can catch Piastri. Hopefully he and Hamilton will scuffle, helping that

Oscar can't afford 10 more laps at this rate, he'll be well behind Lewis and Checo by then.

The problem is that if they pit now, it would be to go back into Hards and that’s definitely not working… If they want to go into Mediums, they need to wait at least until lap 45

Perez tyres will begin to drop back.

[101FlyingDutchman]

They only need to eek it out to lap 46 or so. And do the last 24 laps on MEDs

[mwillems]

Even Ham is catching though. Yikes, it's looking hairy.

Going to be tight. Hopefully they lose time behind battling.

[ScottR267]

Hopefully Lewis and checo squabbling will help Oscar

[BigBeansBoy]

AH. These are going to be exciting laps. Come on Piastri!

[FittingMechanics]

Glad to see the team go for mediums. Even if it ends up being a mistake.

[FittingMechanics]

Good job by Piastri. Defend the inside. Shame he couldn't hold Perez back.
