Not aware of anything.

Piastri with clean air now. Wonder if the Upgrade panic is starting to settle down :lol:
Yeah that's my worry, but I think Lando is saving tires much more than Oscar. I hope Oscar doesn't fumble down later.

It might have been a gamble, but the clean air is much better than sitting behind, even 2 seconds behind, so he should be able to get the tyres under control. But let's see how it goes.

Hoping Lando is just managing the tires and nursing them to build a tire delta… It would be the smart move to play at this stage… He is keeping the gap to Perez and running on the same pace as Oscar

Worth saying it was very good racecraft.

Piastri is not using battery right now, we're told. He's got to manage it for a few laps.
He actually looks like he has the pace to drop the Ferraris when he is ready.

His engineer is telling him he is saving more of the tyres than Ferrari and Oscar. He's been told he can use a bit more now.

Makes sense, been stuck in a DRS train and wasting tires isn’t ideal since it would be too hard to overtake in a train and he has no pressure from behind, so he doesn’t need to be too concerned about managing the distance to Perez

Pfff, the slow Perez is a bit of a problem for Lando's race

Haven’t quite got the overtake speed on the straight. Needs to get Perez out of position

Glad McLaren hasn't reacted to Ferrari bluffing.

It’s the issue with qualifying behind and overtaking on track being a pain. They’re creating the offset and hope that makes it more manageable. Trust boys. Race pace is bloody magical
