Ah yes the return to the temple of speed , the last place where a team out side the big Three had a deserved win on pace.
Sessions
I have seen different weather reports so Included the most common forecast.
I still don’t understand why Ferrari keep asking their drivers what they should be doing. The driver doesn’t have all the info the team does.
What is going on with Perez ?
De Vries showing how bad Latifi is, Albon and De Vries would be a good shout for next year
The right front was smoking after a pit stop.
Perez could find himself in 4th when everyone stops.
I would expect that Max will have to pit soon.
So LEC net leader as it stands, Ferrari will be getting good data from Sainz on how the tyres are holding up - he seems to be dropping off which means Charles will have a long way to go on these tyres (albeit Sainz has been hammering it).
Seems Max will be chasing down Charles at the end , Max said P2 was possible before the race (obviosuly depending on what else happens that you can't plan for).
I can't call how it is going to go.
“We are thinking plan C”
No you don’t think, you tell the driver what to do.
Utter shitshow from Ferrari
Disappointing show from Alpine so far, De Vries going really well so far.
Hamilton doing well.
Sainz calling for softs.
Leclerc gonna be a sitting duck on worn Mediums later in the race.
Sainz could be Ferraris best bet today if he goes on softs
Ocon is having a sh1tty time.
Could Hamilton be looking at a medium to softs strategy??
Max chasing down Charles, and sets the fastest lap.
That Red Bull is just crazy quick
Looks that way, Russell not happy with the Hard tyres but his times are still close to the gone off tyres of LEC.
Max got plenty of laps on a full tank with Softs - but you wouldn't want to be basing your data on Max.
Sainz will get softs too.
Another own goal from Ferrari on LEC. Those fans will eat them alive after this
Alonso asked the question about the car quite some time ago. Seems all was not well.
To an extent there’s not much they can do against Max and the pace of the RB.
But yeah, too desperate to get a cheap stop early on a one stop track.
I can't see LEC catching VER, he needs a second a lap and to pass him.
Max has another win in the bag if the car holds.
I do not believe Leclerc will catch Max never mind pass him
He’s not making up any time currently, RB would need a disaster to be caught.
Could do with a safety car to bunch them back up
He did and he didn’t believe the response.
Ferrari loosing time to Max
McLaren really f*cked up Norris’ stop there.
Great move by Hamilton.
Hamilton getting two for one.
Hamilton needs about the same gain to catch Perez but the old hards look like a more realistic target than Max on mediums.
