Yes, that is how it is done. Put the pressure on them and they crack.

Sainz unfortunately too far ahead.

What the hell is going on with Piastri’s pace?

Masterclass by Lando. A shame Max doesn't play by the rules. If he hadn't lost all that time in the first stint, the win might have been within grasp.

There’s only one man to thank for that and he’s 20s behind we’re he could be if he wasn’t such an infantile prick

Honestly think if Max didn't run Lando off, and he took second the win was on.

Lawson now will likely take fastest lap unless Ferrari pit Charles

Once again, it will look like Ferrari was a dominant car but realistically, McLaren was heavily compromised by Verstappen. At least he was punished this time around, it will help wonders with Lando to know he can "win" in such a fight.

BTW Verstappen probably benefited even after gaining 20 seconds. He will win 8 points, lose 10 against NOR. If NOR won he would probably lose more as their race pace looks really bad.

I guess that bib maybe did help.

Not sure we were fastest on the mediums to be fair. But, things would have been different without Lando being run off twice!

I wouldn't say Ferrari was dominant. If Lando was racing any other driver there, he would have probably gone through around the outside and not lost 15 seconds to Carlos in the first stint.

Also, he was forced off twice, one of them being through the grass. Tires probably got dirty and degradation was increased. Oscar had much better degradation than Lando even though he was on dirty air all race.

A big big shame really.

I think Lando could have won had Max not driven him off the track, he's currently 5 tenths a lap quicker than Sainz but will run out of laps
