He's going to box very soon.

At this stage, Oscar has his chance for a second win in F1. Ham and Lec not far ahead.

They're building that tyre offset with Lando with 2 brand new hards to come. He'll come back into it later on. Good stuff from Oscar.

I dont like what I see. Norris has at best 5 laps newer tyres. What difference will it make?

Tyre offset and late race speed. It won't overcome his mistake but it will be fun to watch.

That's over 10% of the race though

Unless our last stint is mega I dont see either Piastri or Lando making much headway, we're losing time to Ferarri

Only if he suddenly starts lapping a couple of tenths faster because this pace is not enough.

We are not fast. We dont have enough grip.

I agree. To be honest I feel like they're going to have the worst result in a while here. Mercedes, Ferrari and RedBull all look faster and better on tires.

Looks like Merc were running a to a much lower delta on the Friday whereas Mclaren were pushing.

We might have the same problem at Monza. Is it possible that the set up was wrong or is it possible that Mclaren still lacks top speed?

Top speed is fine. Maybe just had to sacrifice downforce to get there, which will give them higher deg.

Lando is going well, he'll come back into this.

Lando slowly getting to the Bulls, looking after his tyres with all three cars in front working their tyres.

I know we have a tyre offset but Lando has had to cane the tyres
