The Williams isn't shy on the straights

 

[Psycho Ned]

Usually we'd have a Williams 2nd driver to stick it in the wall and mix it up about now but Colapinto actually looks competent so we're relying on Stroll

 

[Terminal_Boy]

I’ll laugh if max and Norris tangle again.

An unhappy Verstappen is statistically the most likely cause of a safety car.

Norris just staying behind albon for drs in the straight to keep veratappen behind?

 

[SpartaP]

Piastri driving like a champ. New iceman?

For sure, he's very cool and collected under pressure. Driving really well out front with a Ferrari looking big in his mirrors.

That’s my take on things. Lando is a good driver, but Oscar is shaping up to be a great driver.

WTF is this norris albon camera view

 

[Trusty]

Yeah, Piastri does seem to have better racecraft than Norris

Completely agree with both! My thinking too

showing the tyre status - meh. ninja'd

 

[ShivP]

Fair, didn't even think of that

 

[Tejstar]

Superb racing from Piastri to keep Leclerc behind - probably killing their tyres though!

 

[Tejstar]

This could all still play into Perez's hands, it seems he's able to nurse his tyres to let the top two fight it out.

 

[SpartaP]

Nice little dummy there by George

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Safety car now would be beautiful

He’s certainly got previous form for taking care of his tyres.

 

[Stu999]

Verstappen is having a bit of a shocker.

 

[Psycho Ned]

nicely setup for Norris and Max to end up in the barriers right at the end
