[McLaren]

"Lewis, just checking in. Are your tires gone?"

 

[Bosso]

Medium to medium, so that's a no

He's not really flying for once. I think Lando has a decent chance of taking this

Yeah, they tried to trigger a reaction from infront. Might be Hamilton that does it instead.

36 laps on the hards. It may be possible, but I doubt it will be faster than a 2 stop

 

[Bosso]

Usual slowest pit stop of the grid for Mercedes. I honestly have no idea why they don't invest in decent pit stop training. They've lost multiple potential victpries due to this. Also game over for them with that strategy.

 

[PaMu1337]

So Norris going for a 1 stop

 

[Grayfox]

Leclerc doing a 1 stop and at this rate, he will have an advantage at the end with the last pit stop done.

 

[Veinz]

This is a really intriguing strategy battle. An SC would completely ruin this race.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Lewis seems to have decent pace now that the hard tires are up to speed. I don't know if Verstappen is holding station in 2nd.

 

[Veinz]

Nice try Lando

 

[Blitz24]

Lando needs to stay near Verstappen for the next 10 to 15 laps, if he can.

 

[PaMu1337]

Lando needs to stay near Verstappen for the next 10 to 15 laps, if he can.

So far it looks like he's able to do this. It's mainly a matter of if he can make his tires last

 

[Bosso]

24 laps for Hamilton will be a very tough ask.

 

[Dennisch]

If luck of the champion is an actual thing, those hards on the McLaren and Mercedes will fall of a cliff just as Max makes his pitstop.

 

[McLaren]

Haven't seen Max that upset in a while, esp. at the front.

 

[Bosso]

Hamilton could do the undercut on Norris here. Assuming their pit crew actually try.

 

[TumeK5]

Haven't seen Max that upset in a while, esp. at the front.

Not a Lance stroll in the park this time, no.

 

[Bosso]

Singapore?

 

[Famine]

Guy leading the race, and who's won 14 races this season, calls his car a "piece of ****"...

 

[PaMu1337]

Huh, did not expect a Norris stop. Guess they're defending against Hamilton

 

[Dennisch]

Welp.

 

[McLaren]

Singapore?

The car was genuinely off the pace that weekend.

 

[Veinz]

Ok now we need an sc

 

[PaMu1337]

Guy leading the race, and who's won 14 races this season, calls his car a "piece of ****"...

Don't you know how bad it is if your car is only 40% better than anyone else, instead of the usual 50%?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Hmmm Lando is on hards again. That's not good.

 

[TumeK5]

An SC would completely ruin this race.

Ok now we need an sc

 

[Bosso]

Huh, did not expect a Norris stop. Guess they're defending against Hamilton

Yeah I think so too. Stop that Hamilton undercut.

This lack of practice for teams is brilliant I think. Gives multiple choice and gambles.

 

[Dennisch]

But this all of the sudden got exciting again.

 

[Bosso]

The car was genuinely off the pace that weekend.

Well kinda it was still capable of wining but Verstappen lost his head. Also it's not a track that he's great at either.

 

[TumeK5]

Kinda weird seeing basically 4 different teams going for the win

 

[Dennisch]

But this all of the sudden got exciting again.

Welp.
