Alonso 0.9s slower than Leclerc on the last lap

So good over a single lap, not so much in race pace.

He's going faster than Leclerc and Piastri now... 100% was just controlling his own pace!

Crofty, is that you?

It's our only hope of something happening

Simple strategy ferrari please

Simple strategy ferrari please

You'll have better luck on the lottery

Plan A minus 5 for Norris? Pitting 5 laps early?

 

[spook2575]

Not today! Good stop!

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

This hasn’t worked well for Russell unless he clears Bortoleto quickly.

 

[Vinno]

I don't know why they didn't double stack Norris with Piastri. This was always going to happen.

Praying for a safety car now lol.

 

[Flibster]

What the hell is going on?

Great stop for Ferrari, strategy seems solid.

Is this 2 races in a row where they get it right?

“Extending” is 9 times out of 10 pointless and never works, every time you hear it you know the driver involved is screwed.

There's still one more to go mate, nobody is doing 50 laps on hard

"Let's extend"
....
"Oh, everyone has ripped 2 seconds a lap out of us for 5 laps, we'll never get that back with a 5 lap tyre advantage at the end, woops"

 

[Mr Jack]

Wonder whether we're going to see a mic of 1 and 2 stoppers?

 

[Flibster]

Ferrari wanted to pit Hamilton, who started on the hard tyre only 2 laps after Leclerc who started on the medium?

Seriously?

I always think this way too. But so often you see it. Are we missing something that these high paid strategists, with their fancy computers can see?

 

[jonneymendoza]

Why are they thinking of pitting ham

 

[Kenai]

McLaren and Ferrari accidentally picked up each other's strategy books at breakfast?

McLaren considering Plan D, Ferrari actually not ruining Leclerc's race yet...

 

[Flibster]

Norris pit radio - So it's either Plan A, look to extend, or plan D, just keep talking to us about tyres.

Either sound way too late now.

 

[[timko]]

So if I just heard that radio message to Lando right, it's plan A to extend or plan B to extend.

 

[Trusty]

Ferrari wanted to pit Hamilton, who started on the hard tyre only 2 laps after Leclerc who started on the medium?

Seriously?

they have such brain farts at times
