Very bad start from Lando. Hopefully he can recover but with that straight line speed decifit it will be extremely hard to pass Gasly as a DRS train formed also.

he didnt have launch map.. engineer told him before formation lap something is wrong, so he had to do a manual start

Hopefully he can recover somehow and pass Gasly.

I don't get it. No one defends the inside into the chicane. I bet Sainz would not have passed Lando if he defended.

It's a waste of time and tiers. He has such a big pace advantage it's just not worth defending. He will get through eventually. Might as well let him past and keep to your race.

Why should he defend? Just do that he can ruin his tyres and let Alonso past as well. That doesn’t seem like a good idea

Man, not a good race for Lando so far. Second mistake costing positions.

Real shame. Lando has pace it seems. I think the undercut will need to be used

Lando does make a lot of mistakes today and I'm not sure how much he can recover due to the DRS train and that speed decifit. Good job from Daniel this time however. Let's hope he continues like that till the end.

Go on Lando. Unleash the pace. I feel his race pace is superior to the guys ahead. He just needs clean air

Good recovery Lando! I get the impression if both drivers can get ahead and break DRS then they could be comfortably quicker.

After all we've seen, is it downforce or traction after low-med speed corner exits that hurt our car this year? I wouldn't expect Norris to get passed an Alpine if it was the first.
