Good start by Carlos, he almost always makes up places at the start

Are we going for 1 Pit Stop? Great Start from Carlos and he got 1 place. Lando lost 1 place unfortunately after a bad start.

Everyone is in a one-stop... Leclerc was way to aggressive and got a puncture, Hulk has also pitted (very early, no idea if he had issues in that move) and that gets Lando into 12th...

While I type that... Safety Car!!!

Did we do the pit stop or decided to stay out?

Is no pitting a good strategy? Probably waiting for the rain

It's a risk we are taking now. Let's see if it pays off.

If field spread is sufficient, we can box late and come out ahead of Ricciardo

I am guessing the team is betting that the rain will come. No sense in pitting if it rains.

Norris is on mediums, he should be ok. Sainz says he has 5-6 laps after SC ends. Good thing is that he can run even with worse tires, guys behind him are on old tires as well so it will be a slow train :).

Norris needs to start taking care of his tires... The guys in front of him will start pitting soon and that’s his chance to make a move and probably do the overcut

Is Lando building a gap for Carlos to Pit?... He is now 6.3 seconds from Romain and if he keeps this pace, he could create a window big enough for Carlos to come out in front of him... That would be ballsy!
