Ricciardo on fastest compound, yet losing time..
He needs to make sure he reaches the end. He's faster than AM, doing a good job.
For sure. With HAM not past the AMs he’s doing a great job considering the package

He's just preserving the softs, they're a bit risky for getting all the way to the end longevity wise.

I think both drivers are going to protect the tyres to go till the end.

McLaren team radio saying Ricciardo in tyre preservation mode. Hopefully he can keep Stroll behind.

Daniel is managing the gap to Stroll nicely… Lando doesn’t have enough to make the overtake on Sainz, so smart to just work on brining the car home

Both drivers should work on just bringing the cars in 4th and 5th. No need to push for anything. Seems though that these softs on Ricciardo was a mistake. He could have been better with medium. As for Perez I think he is trying to get 5 seconds distance to cover up a penalty from the SC infringement.

It seems that the upgrades worked perfectly. The car was much faster than Alpine and the other midfield and even managed to push Sainz at some point. Good result with 4th and 5th. That puts the team again 4 points in front of Alpine in 4th again. Good job from Lando Norris and good work for Daniel Ricciardo as he did a quiet race.

Great job! both drivers did great! more importantly I think the strategy team are the MVP's of today, with so many vsc and safety cars, made every right decisions.
