I don’t understand how NOR loses so much time under every single VSC. I’m monitoring the gap to HAM/SAI and it’s literally seconds lost compared to proper racing laps

Yup, this is my feeling. Red Bull disqualified and no further actions on drivers championship.
Seems Alpines are out today. Ricci on points, good day for our boys to recover some gap to Alpine.
The question is how do you disqualify Red Bull removing all their points and not the drivers.

I really have no idea how that happens. Is everyone really at reduced speed with the same speed? Also I have a feeling that Verstappen might need to be punished for that last stunt if it was under the yellow flag as he might have passed him.

All I can say is Lando Norris is doing fantastic so far keeping a much faster car behind. Now keeping two faster cars behind. It's slick time. Come one team it's time. Don't screw this up.

We made (again) a mistake to be the last to change tyres but at least this time it paid off. We will pit during safety car!

When was the last time that a Safety Car came out and helped us?

No risks. Let Max go and just finish as it is. We need those points. P5-P6.

Very good result so far. Now let's see. Lando will have to battle Verstappen and probably Hamilton so I wish him good luck. Daniel will surely be able to hold against a slower car. Is it a good idea though to use Softs to Ricciardo?

I would say that Lando should battle Verstappen. Those 2 extra points will put Mclaren in front and I also think that Daniel should push Verstappen.

What is that countdown? 33 mins. Does that mean the race will end when the 33 mins end? Will that mean half points? 4 and 5th? Did God decided today to choose Mclaren in the Playstation?
