Solid Sprint for the team, I think we have better race pace here than Ferrari and we are in the fight for good points, we just need to stay trouble free tomorrow.
I don’t expect Lando’s pace to be so good today compared to the Ferrari’s. They benefited from the lower temps yesterday and today will be hotter

The start is going to be key, he has the pace to stay ahead of Sainz, & maybe even Perez, but not to challenge or overtake either of them, & Leclerc remains a huge threat too, especially at the start

Well, Charles lost his momentum in colder temps, he might lose it in hotter as well.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

To be honest, I am angrier at Perez. Ferrari got an extra point today because he was incompetent. I know I am being harsh, but on the hands of his teammate RedBull was a second per lap faster than the Ferrari of Carlos.

His failure to overtake him cost us today. It puts Carlos at a great grid spot for tomorrow and obviously it gave Ferrari 1 extra point.
It’s frustrating isn’t it.
I know I’m not driver or race engineer but his late lunges into turn one :roll: come on it doesn’t take a genius to think that there are 2 DRS zones and maybe I need to set myself better going into turn 1 and have a better exit through turn 3 to be further into Sainz slipstream, then DRS, then get the move done into turn 4. Instead he just kept lunging at Sainz left rear tyre into turn 1 :roll:

This is why Mclaren claimed P3 last season it was mainly through having 2 higher calibre drivers, driving the joint 4th fastest car - although Perez won a race in the 3rd fastest car he and Stroll loved a crash during the race and we just don’t see that from Leclerc and Sainz this season.
*This isn’t a Ricciardo bashing*
This season if Norris and Sainz were driving this Mclaren, they would be home and dry now with P3.
A major ingredient for Ferraris success to P3 is the signing of Sainz.

Brazil GP today but I am pissed as my old PSX has lazer disc problems. Let's hope today our team will get a better result than Ferrari to improve my day.

Sainz's maneuver quite dirty

Edit: I correct myself. More Lando's fault than Carlos's.

So that’s another good start by one of Mclarens drivers to be potentially in P4 into turn 1- only to be last by the end of lap one again.
It is just not working out for Mclaren

Well now we just have to deal with Daniel looking at the back of Ocon's rear wing for the rest of the race while Ferrari gets 20 more points this race.

--- this season.

Sainz punctured Norris's tyre. He could have let him pass instead of doing that. Yet another Ferrari driver costs us a lot of points.

Bravo Ferrari. Kamikaze championship.
