All that talk about Ferrari having the best power unit earlier in the season. What's the point in having a powerful PU if it's going to brake down like this.

4 dnf, all Ferrari powered cars.

VSC has helped Daniel, but hurt Lando.

People have to agree that Mercedes have the most reliable engine again. Honda and Ferrari engines are blowing up left and right.

Not really hurt Lando I would say. I don't think Ocon is going to be a threat. And the guys ahead wouldn't have pit anyway. He still has a tire delta advantage.

I am not overly optimistic on Alonso though, those fkin Alpines are faster on the straight even when the car behind has DRS.

You know. Danny Ric should go full racy now. I don't think those Hards of Alonso, Gasly and Tsunoda gonna last. They are gonna need another pit stop.

On worn tyres he's not going anywhere from there though. Daniel cane make up a few places. P5 possible on fresh mediums.

6th place would be possible as long as Daniel go full racy and starts passing.

Yes, Gasly probably out of reach even with a tyre delta.

I don't think this is in Daniel's hands though. Unless there's a huge performance difference, those Alpines are impossible to pass. I fear Alonso is going to be a roadblock.

Traction out of T2 down into T3 will work, as Lando has shown.

Edit: nevermind, Daniel really struggling, not sure if he had an issue. Lando catching him quickly.

It's not helping that Daniel can't even get within a second of Alonso on better tires too ...
