Good racing between Gasly and Sainz there

Ferrari actually on plan A? *faints*

For now. There's plenty of laps remaining and a whole alphabet of possibility.

The McLarens pace now starting to benefit from their better tyre management

Still waiting for plan Σ

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - Doesn't turn at all in 10.

Pit - Understood

 

[Mr Jack]

More overtaking than I expected, Lewis making good progress.

 

[Flibster]

Norris radio - Yeah, i mean, I'm pretty happy with tyres at the moment, but if overtaking is hard then whatever you guys think.

Pit - Ok mate, suggest yellow G6. Yellow G6

 

[GravyMonster]

Austria, round 2... Fight!

 

[Psycho Ned]

Right I'll pay attention for a few minutes again till the crash.

 

[GravyMonster]

Max kept that surprisingly clean

 

[el_dazza]

Landoooooooo

 

[Psycho Ned]

Someone overtook Max and didn't end up in Row D

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I just can't understand staying out there.

 

[GravyMonster]

Piastri needs to get the lead out now and get McLaren all the WCC points they can.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Max needs to get in the pits asap...Problem is traffic

Nah, I'd like to see Russell on the podium.
Maybe Max and Lando can take each other out?

 

[Flibster]

Norris radio - What's the plan from here?

Pit - Lando how are the tyres?

Norris - I think ok. They feel pretty reasonable and consistent.

Pit - Well lando. We think plan A. Plan A. He might try the undercut, but that's cool. Plan A. He will have DRS. Just look after the wheelspin on exit.


So pit wall asking Norris about the strategy and Norris asking the pit wall about the strategy. No one seemingly making decisions...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Seems to be working for them. Maybe best McLaren engineers just sit this one out.

Edit: Meanwhile, Max just ensuring the race win is impossible. I know traffic is there, but we've seen that overtaking is more than possible today.
