Race restarts in 10 minutes

 

[McLaren]

Did Checo really try to argue there was a gap there for him to attempt what he did?

The interviewer did lead him on saying the gap was there. I don't know what they were talking about.

I think the main take away is he didn't expect Leclerc to brake so late and expected him to yield.

The gap was there. Straight onto the run off.

There was a gap above Leclerc, and he took it

2 gaps!

"Red Bull gives you wings" /joke.

 

[AshenGraey]

I wonder if anyone would try to another pit stop. Rather than starting on the hard, do a medium and then pit for soft at the end

Some drivers don't have good hards left, e.g. Ricciardo, so some may try

 

[Dennisch]

Lewis on a medium tyre?

Edit.

Yup. Used medium.

 

[MSZ]

Lewis on a medium tyre?

Apparently so

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Lewis on a medium tyre?

Both Mercs O_O

 

[Dennisch]

Pfft. Aston Martin 17 and 18.

So Ricciardo only has softs left, he has to make these hards last a bit longer

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Another poor restart from Lando.

It's the hope for something different that hurts the most lol

That hope is just naive at this point 😅

 

[MSZ]

Alonso: "Is it GP2 engine?"

Alonso: "Is it GP2 engine?"

GP2 chassis

 

[TumeK5]

Neat move by Hamilton!

 

[PaMu1337]

Neat move by Hamilton!

Scared the hell out of me!

 

[Bosso]

Now Verstappen unleashes the full speed of the Red Bull.

 

[Jimlaad43]

What was the point of Mediums if you're going to manage them the distance? Use the pace and accept it's an extra pitstop.

Not having any hards left I reckon, but still the extra stop seems more sensible

Perhaps it was purely because of the grid start and the laps thereafter

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder if Lewis can make mediums last 25+ laps.
While there is less fuel load.
But it is still a bit of distance on those tires.

 

[Jimlaad43]

He was on Hards that were only 4-5 laps more used than these Mediums. Keeping those on wasn't a bad option.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Nice, Lando making moves. Gooooooooo! 😤

edit: Oh no, Alonso out. Miserable day for him.

editedit: Oh no, Yuki into Oscar. 😮

 

[MSZ]

Yuki driver of the day?

 

[TumeK5]

Yuki driver of the day?

Not after that
