Alonso has put Hards. Do you think he will go till the end?
He has to, Ocon same. Lando just needs to build a gap.

Yes Daniel!! Great move!

Ha! What a move by Daniel there… To be honest… The Alpines screwed each other… But that was pretty neat!

Stroll past Alonso, Seb close behind. The Astons could help us here.

Edit: Stroll past Ocon now. Hopefully holds him up. Lando has 21 second gap already. Almost free pitstop, looking good.

The HArd tires seems to be struggling… I don’t think that a one-stop is possible… Bodes well for the Team… Daniel and Lando building a gap to the Alpines slowly

Too cold for the hards it seems.

Mix of temperatures and a green track… The gap to watch is Daniel to Stroll… 4.2 seconds… He needs to maintain or increase that… But Stroll seems to be with a bit more pace… Vettel got Alonso and is going after Ocon

Depending on how much they can extend the stint, they can go for another set of Mediums to the finish line

Well I think McLaren only have hard & soft tyres left… and there’s no way they’re going to the end on the mediums… is there?

I don't know. I'm hoping the team is keeping tyres and controlling the pace. However those Aston Martins are closing in.

If I’m not wrong they had 2 sets of Mediums and 1 of Hards for the race… I believe they will stop for another set of Mediums… But right now Lando has a pitstop gap to Ocon if he needed to stop (he would come out 3 seconds behind RIC if he would go for another stop)… At this pace, he could potentially build a full pitstop Gap to RIC and be safe to stop any time he wants
