Lando is doing plan A with plan B lap times. It’s probably deliberate due to the increased tyre deg at these temps and speeds
This might mean one stopper and they put on hards instead of softs?

McLaren's race will be defined by the start. They seem very comfortable defending other cars, so it's all about getting off the line cleanly. If Max is leading on first lap he'll likely pull away fairly comfortably. If Daniel or Lando can jump him at the start, it's coming down to the pitstops. Same for defending against Lewis. It's going to be a nail-biter for sure.
I love your enthusiasm,but I'm afraid it's going to be an exciting first lap with a safety car, then a rolling restart that leads to us watching rubber slowly vulcanized for 25 laps under VSC, then watch more rubber slowly vulcanized til the end.
Playing out exactly as I said. :wink:
Good call😁

Yes, they went onto Hards, probably because it looks like Hamilton has pace.

Great pitstops!!!

Now it's tough, Hamilton might get us both due to the overcut. But that is life, let's get a double podium at least!
