Kimi is gone.
Piastri has worst tires and no pace, sucks for him, he did great on the first stint.
Mclaren jumped the gun, he was extending on Russel, he could've kept going.

That McLaren is still much better than I thought. In practice it looked like they'd struggle more in the race.

Oscar so unlucky there looks like Kimi gonna get a gifted win thanks to the SC
Stupid strategy by McLaren. Oscar said if they keep track position they can win and immidiately they glave position.
Oscar also suggested they pit early to maintain position
Yes, but that was when Russell was 0,6s behind. They pitted when Russell dropped 1,7s which wasn't undercut threat anymore. And even worse they pitted Lando scaring Ferrari to pit Leclerc which have Kimi clear air.

Imagine there are still people being mad at Toto for not re-signing Russell quick enough and not giving him whatever he wants. Still should finish 2nd, would be surprised if he fails do that.

yeah, but I wouldn't think it was normal clipping? More like the software confusing things
