Goodness Alpine's getting passed around!
both cars are damaged after their collision at the start. "12 points floor damage" is what they told Ocon

Alpine are among the very worst cars. Even without damages.

Perez easiling eating up Norris. McLaren are no threat for RB this race.

Definitely some anti-intelligent strategy on display here.

Doesn't make sense to go long on the hard on a track with thermal degradation. That only works on a track with high wear

Sainz is coming back on Norris, but not very fast.

It looks like a clear RB, Ferrari, McLaren hierarchy.

I wonder if Leclec one stop strategy will allow him to finish in front of Sainz.

Bad mistakes by Leclerc. Could cost him bg if Norris pass.

Ferrari one stopping this with Charles is such BDE. Yes he made an error, but has come out AHEAD of Norris who’s done 2 stops. The only hope McLaren had was to carry a tyre offset advantage into their third stint against Ferrari and they couldn’t do it.

Yes, bad decision for McLaren.

Ferrari is faster than McLaren, Norris is done vs Leclerc. Now let's see if Leclerc can keep the advantage to Sainz. He will have to pass Piastri probably.

Didn’t even have to pass Piastri. Charles is a pit stop ahead of Piastri on tyres that are 6-7 (?) laps older. Not exactly the damning tyre advantage McLaren would have hoped doing a 2-stopper over a 1 stopper.
