Not really sure Lando could do much more. Oscar just managing i guess. They shoukd get 2 and 3
Managing to go backwards. He's killed his tyres and after the cooling cycle of the VSC the tyres wouldn't come back to life.

Oscar has a big fight ahead of him, especially as he's 2 stopping.
You think 2 stopping? Will try and get the softs to the end.

Oscar is no where. I hope people who called for McLaren to swap Lando behind Piastri see this race.

Verstappen gets lucky/earns these types of races all the time. We have good pace but end up bottle behind someone and Max wins a race that could have been McLarens.

If Oscar two stops then he needs to fire his engineer.

I hope engineer told him Leclerc did 25 laps on full fuel and softs.

Now lets see who has the better tire life.

Norris needs to clear Leclerc quickly.

Stop 2 is always a killer.

At least the bad stop didn't lose them a spot, but it will make it harder to catch Leclerc and Verstappen.

To my eye it looked like Lando went a little bit long at the pitstop.

They are used but he might be bluffing

I guess that the softs might also suffer more when following.

There's no chance theyll 1 stop on used softs either, as a general reply to other posters.

So you are expecting Leclerc victory?

Norris fell back to cool the tires. Expect another attack later on.
