Dirty, dirty Tsunoda. But this is RB...
Norris decides to drive off the track and overtakes but somehow tsunoda is dirty, ok.
You are a fan of a dirty team with dirty drivers. I hope you are happy.
Childish response :)

For this reason, I tremendously hate the Red Bull team

Russell is a 1s slower, if this continues Norris would be able to pit and exit ahead of him. If Leclerc pits then Norris has a free stop.

Surely its Piastri to go on medium and sit behind Lando. He isn't winning anything.

Yes its good news that merc are not in the mix.

Building enough of a gap to simply mirror Charles. Hopefully those tyres on landos car are in good shape.

Just let him through and get him to attack Verstappen, we don't want Verstappen to be able to slow down the field.

Maybe they are also testing hard tyres on Piastri?

He can't slow it down with Oscar on new mediums.

So Mclaren keeping Oscar out to prevent the holding up the pack tactic from Max?

Yeah, this is good, I don't see what Red Bull can do other than a lucky red flag or a safety car to reset the race.

Norris should be nailed to P2 or P3 if they don't shoot themselves into the legs.

Pit makes sense, the gap was there and they need to cover Leclerc.
