Are you sure? I noticed that Mclaren was losing a huge amount of time on the two huge straights. In the meantime Gasly with his new tyres will threaten Ricciardo soon.

Norris has to go faster cause it seems Daniel upped his pace to keep off Gasly.

Do you think with one less pitstop we might manage to gain places? For now it seems to be working. We got to get past Alonso sooner than later.

Not passing Alonso on track, he's just too quick on the straights, even with slipstream and drs the gap doesn't close.

Can’t even close up on Alonso even with DRS.

This car is not good in a straight line. SO frustrating

Lack of straight like speed is killing us. Just cannot get close to Alonso to make the overtake

And as I say that Alonso pits

Let's see if we can get him out of DRS. We seem to be faster on the aerodynamic part. Danny Ric is playing a good shield though for Lando but is it a good idea? Gasly is all over Ricciardo.

Lando pitstop must have been slow, well down the order now. Going to struggle from there.

So Lando should be going till the end and hoping for gaining places from the others going to the second pit stop.

Man, this sort of straight line speed is giving me early Honda vibes. They are absolute sitting ducks :/

So Ricc ups his pace like everyone tells him to and then we strategise him like some second rate rookie. No wonder his confidence is shot in this team.

Pathetic strategy today and it is very rare you hear me be critical of the team.

Very disappointing.

Horrible. Team orders at lap 5. Should have unleashed him.
