22 seconds back to Russell, softs are dire, Leclerc might get him before the end

 

[Flibster]

Soft tyres are not working at all. Russell is almost 5 seconds per lap slower than Norris

 

[el_dazza]

Gasly taking the **** with these off track passes.

[.:MBK:.]

nice job McLaren, and solid recovery from George.

I suspect the Perez is going to get a kicking from the stewards. Not been an instant 5 second penalty

Imagine failing to extract performance from what is potentially the fastest car on the grid, and then still infringe on track limits.

One thing I did enjoy about the race is due to the short tyre stints, there was basically no tyre management, just push all the way.

 

[chrismscotland]

How many 5 second penalties did Perez get in total? Was that 3 over the course of the race?
