So Norris is going to do two stops with probably another medium later.

Softs? Why softs?
Because hard is a --- tire.

The soft isn't gonna stand for more than 20 laps at best. He will need another pit stop later.

Everyone will two stop. Oscar may try a one stop onto hard.

Not sure it's smart.

Seems really high deg. Smart strategy for once. Medium runners are becoming sitting ducks after ~20 laps and the undercut seems crazy strong.

Max pitted again so. He has new mediums for 36 laps. Time for our boys to make the distance now that Max will have to fight a DRS train again.

The strategy seems terrible so far. Why two changes of softs?

Because the hard is garbage and they have to run two different compounds.

Max might be with both feet in the game right now cause I doubt he will pit again. Norris will have to pit again cause I doubt he can hold these softs for too much time. It will be such a big fiasco if they lose that race from Max starting from last place.

Max will pit again. If he doesn't drop off at some point with this sort of pace then congrats to him I guess, but I dont think its possible.

I think everyone pits one more time. Max is pushing super hard if he is going to the end, he did the same in his first stint, matching McLaren pace with similar tire durability.

Piastri needs to undercut Verstappen.
