Red Bull is in another league but come on FIA. Penalizing Alonso for being slightly to the left? I thought penalties occured on a faster start.

Oscar had contact from Ocon. Not sure whos fault was it. Lando got damage from Ocons broken piece or was it Gasly. Thats clear bad luck.

Any idea why lando is dropping back from Oscar at more than 1 sec a lap
lando's doing plan b stint 2 - which suggest he is going long long

Piastri’s pace is the same as Leclerc right now… that’s a lot of bad luck

Don’t seem to be catching bottas at any meaningful rate

At a glance the hards looks to be rather slow.

Piastri dropping back from Hulk and Norris unable to catch bottas, all on same tire, not a good look

Nursing the tires a bit… They are 7-8 laps older than the rest… if they push too much, they would get out of sync… Both are just keeping pace with them

Both cars need to extend by a lot, nursing the tyres.
