Pity the VSC came out when it did, but I think Ferrari did the right call... just concerning that both stops were over 4 seconds. Obviously they'll need to stop again with going for Mediums again; Hope their pace on the Hards is decent enough.

If this was 5 races ago, the SF-23 would've eaten its tires down to the cords by now.

Ferrari wall needs to be fired. That car on 22 lap old meds is 0.3s faster than everyone but Max and they want to do 3 stops? Ducking morons. They're going to put on hards in 5 laps and go to the end.

Going to be tough for Sainz to stay ahead of Perez on the timesheet.

PER is flying now.

I hope Leclerc buys Sainz something for that defense. Think it saved that podium.

Yeah, no question about it either. Without that PER was on his ass the last 3 laps.

Maybe, but lets see how they stack up on a conventional race weekend, when there are 3 practice sessions and the likes of Mercedes and Aston are setup more optimally...

Silverstone next weekend will prove a much better yardstick to see where Ferrari is with regards to pace in the high-speed corners, stability and tyre degradation. If we get a similar result there like we did this weekend, that would go a long way in showing Ferrari's improved form. Well, from the car anyway... pitwall is still a coin-toss as to strategy and decision making.

Let's see what Ferrari does here. I think Sainz is the quicker driver today.
That was just the DRS effect. We could see how easily he disposed of Norris and Hamilton when he was actually quicker than them. Too bad he was such a hothead chasing Leclerc and getting the off-track penalty later. It would have been an easy 2-3 for Ferrari otherwise.

Not at all, he had 10s advantage when Perez caught up Sainz and ended up with 12s advantage.

Good thing for Ferrari is they are 2nd force again, but will get ATR advantage due to being P4 in WCC on 30th of June. Should do them good for 24 car.

He was quicker in the second stint as well.

Perez was lapping in 1:8.1 and LEC in 1:8.9-1:9, he might not have caught up but it was going to be extremely close.

Pretty sure they had a larger gap coming out of the first pit than coming into the second. Would have to go back and double check.

Nah. That was one lap. He went to 8.5 and slower beyond that. Considering that Leclerc had like 6 seconds on Sainz already, don't think Perez would have done anything about Leclerc.

It was +4s when Sainz got through the traffic, went up to almost +8s from there and came back down to about 4-5s before 2nd stops. At that point, Leclerc was trying to extend the stint while the team was expecting to go for 3 stops.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!
