Yes, Norris is on Mediums... He didn’t pit for new tires under the Safety car... That may force him to pit again

Should Carlos let Lando through since he will need to pit again?

Ricciardo is very racy today and the Renault seems to be working really well

Norris got screwed by the Safety Car.

The problem was their strategy, as Norris himself pointed out on the radio. They should have pitted him, like Ricciardo. I think he will lose more positions. I hope I am wrong and the tyres will hold..

Is there any chance that the Mediums can hold till the end?

If Lando can get 1 sec on Ricciardo and get him out of DRS he might have a chance.

It’s not probable... Lando is pitting!

What tyres did he put and is there a chance he can make a full charge for 20 laps?

Lando 14th behind Kvyat, Stroll, Hulk and Kimi... A lot of cars and not that many laps to get back in the points.

Will be interesting to see his pace... He is 13 seconds behind 13th place... That’s a big chunk of time.

I thought we had another Safety car right there

How the hell was Verstappen able to survive without damage when Vettel went out? A safety car would help Norris if it came out.

We have made so many good choices this year. We should have done better. I cant think a reason why they did not pitted him. The worst thing is that he dont have the pace to get near to the other in front of him.

Let's see if Sainz can hold Ricciardo. His tyres should be just as good as Ricciardo.

Nice job from Carlos. He managed to get that 7th place and in a race where the Renaults seemed to be slightly faster. I suppose the new upgrades still need some tweaking but I'm sure they will work.

Fantastic battle though between Leclerc and Verstappen.A battle made out of the 80s like the one between Arnoux and Villeneuve
