Poll: Official 2023 United States Grand Prix Thread - Circuit of the Americas, Austin - Round 19

[Mr Jack]

Lewis on probable one stop. Norris on hards. Max on mediums.

Nicely mixed strategy.

 

[chrismscotland]

Think Merc have screwed this up, losing a lot of time now

 

[andy_mk3]

Merc have screwed up there

 

[Stu999]

Merc are up to something strategy wise.

Yeah, bottling it.

 

[Scam]

I’m not sure Lewis went long enough for a one stopper? Have they dropped the ball here, not confident enough to take on RB on the same strategy perhaps?

 

[Tigget]

Both strats ending up poor for Merc.

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

i didn't know Ocon was back in the race it was Gasly overtaking Crofty not Ocon

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Yeah, bottling it.

Seems like that.

 

[Stu999]

Seems like that.

They didn’t stick with their decision for some reason. Probably thought they were losing too much time.

 

[chrismscotland]

Alonso having a decent race, that car looked like dog crap yesterday

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

Alonso having a decent race, that car looked like dog crap yesterday

it's a different car this race to yesterday AM swapped his package to an older one while keeping Stroll on the new version

 

[Scam]

Norris mate you have to actually race to win a race right?

 

[Stu999]

DRS stronk.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Way too soft from Lando.

 

[Tigget]

I know Lando is on a harder compound but Max really is impressive at late braking, gotta give it to him.

Lando still having a great race and the different strats mean he’s in with a chance.

 

[UTmaniac]

All about how long mediums last on Max's car and whether Norris or Lewis can drag those hards to the chequered flag.

 

[Stu999]

Did Albon start on hard tyres?

Sky talking about the mediums but they’ve only been on 12 laps and lasted at least 20 before.

 

[Mr Jack]

Did Albon start on hard tyres?

No.

 

[Concrete]

Max really is impressive at late braking, gotta give it to him.

Yeah his overtake on Leclerc was a classic Max overtake, showcasing his late braking skill perfectly.

 

[Scam]

All about how long mediums last on Max's car and whether Norris or Lewis can drag those hards to the chequered flag.

Yeah so are we expecting Sainz and Perez to get past Hamilton and Norris at some point before they pit?

Verstappen would come out behind Leclerc on next pit stop, Russell can’t even help Hamilton here can he..
