New to F1 I see

Hahah no but it still amazes me

Hamiltons pace fallen off bigly relative to Leclerc, as always.

Right now. There are still 20 laps for Ferrari to throw the spanner in to the works for Leclerc.

Edit: Pitting now, surely for a set of ultra high pressure hards.

How long before crofty says this is a ‘slow burner’

Here we go, Ferrari's main chance to screw Leclerc's race.

It's all going to 'come together' at the end of the race*

*never does.

Is that a cloud I see 500km away? Rain coming?

At least he can aggressively lift and coast on those more durable hard tyres and really make the most of them

He might of screwed himself! Hope he got his speed down enough there

Race control - Gasly time 1:24.437 deleted - track limits turn 5 lap 33

Race control - Black and white flag for Gasly - track limits

Obviously they give a bad car to the second driver. Perez’s dad said so.
It’s in the team’s interest to gain little to no points from the second car they field.

Best explanation yet!

Given that the mediums can go for more than 36 laps. They should have tried the soft.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Max has lost a second, he'll be pitting soon

 

[Flibster]

Norris pit radio - Lando, what are you thoughts on the soft tyre?

Norris - Yeah, well I guess the opposite of the car ahead

 

[Psycho Ned]

Hard for Max, Norris might as well roll the dice with the softs then.

 

[spook2575]

Ok as red bull also went for the hards maybe Ferrari’s strategy for leclerc isn’t bad…

 

[Trusty]

If the med's have done 39 laps, then surely the soft can do 11/12.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Makes a lot of sense to me. Just hope they do the same with both cars.

 

[Flibster]

Verstasppen just went 1.2s faster than Norris on those new hard tyres

 

[Vinno]

Will the softs be fast enough to take 1s+ per lap at the end? Worth a punt I suppose.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

If the med's have done 39 laps, then surely the soft can do 11/12.

It’s insane to me that mediums can do so much of a race distance.
