True but one undercut from kimi on lando and things get more touch and go.

That was a bad call, Verstappen is now on one stop.

That sucks. That is a huge mistake.

So what is the strategy now? Do they stay out till lap 25 and hoping Maz can be stuck behind a DRS train?

Stay out to 25, 25 and then run the soft.

Amateur moment for the strategy team for McLaren.

Also.my opinion that this was a huge strategy mistake. I don't buy that flexibility thing that Will said to Lando. They should have pitted.

I think this is an easy win for Max now no? Depending on how long safety car stays, they will have less than 10 laps available to build any sort of gap. Will get stuck in traffic after pitting.

There needs to be something strange going on at McLaren. Nobody puts that much effort into throwing away a driver's championship. Neither can I believe that that is pure incompetence.

Edit: I stand corrected, there was a team that put this much effort into throwing away a driver's title before: 2007 McLaren.

We need a new safety car. Any safety car except on Lap 32 is going to bring this back to us.

SAFETY CAR SAFETY CAR!
