Endplate usually doesn't really change the pace. Especially on a track as slow as this.

Oscar wouldn't have realised Lando hit Max.

Its a bit harsh on him but not necessarily unfair.

As it is, Oscar continues to show a lack of pace.

It just seemed to be one of those incidents that can happen. Not sure it was specifically dirty by Lando.

Lando just got a good start, and has seemed quicker than Oscar so far.

It wasnt dirty but it was a little reckless, he could have ended either drivers race.

He only had to avoid Max because he went a little hot.

It was not dirty at all, he just underestimated how much Verstappen will slow down.

Without Verstappen there it's a clean overtake. Luckily it didn't cost us.

Unlucky with Hamilton pitting just as Max caught him. It will be a tough race to overtake Max.

Not really happy with the strategies. They are still too focused on each other. Instead of staying long to overtake via safety car they go early.
