Are we thinking Max etc will extent their stints to go onto Softs? Charles managed 22 with full tank so it should be possible now

You were the one that first hinted at conspiracy theory nonsense!

Mine isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s just what they love to do when we get in to a race and small things happen. I don’t believe they care who is leading, they just want to bunch the field up.

That was nice stuff from Albon and Colapinto there.

Lift and coast ferrari...

 

[Flibster]

There we go, later than expected.

Hamilton told to lift and coast.

Aw LICO now begins. Was fun watching the Ferraris being racy while it lasted

It’s possible, and Max has a new set from quali. Not sure what the others have.

 

[sidimmu]

Ferrari lasted about 23 laps more than I expected.

Embarassing that Yuki 30s being Max halfway through the race counts as a good performance for him.

Perfect timing as Lec gets infront of him.

Sorry? McLaren asking about doing over 26 laps on what will be used softs?

 

[.:MBK:.]

did they just lose that bluff game?

 

[Vinno]

He's going slow enough to do 100 laps on those.

 

[Flibster]

Most cars start with about 110kg of fuel.

Ferrari seem to start with about 30kg with the amount of lift and coast they have to do.

[Flibster]

There we go... 3.8s McLaren stop.

 

[spook2575]

Slow 2nd mcl pitstop

 

[Scam]

McLaren seem content with second here, judging by that Norris pit stop. This race is going to be a total nothing burger.

 

[Flibster]

What the plonky bollards was that?

 

[sidimmu]

OLIIIIII, phew...

Yeah actually Tsunoda moved under braking, could have been a lot worse

 

[Dup]

Either we're gonna have round two of Lando teasing a pass for 20 laps or Ferrari will pit Charles for no good reason.
