Karma.

Life is b**ch sometimes...

Norris just has to be patience, no way that the tires of Hulkenberg wil last.

[Darth-Piekus]

It's not enough Ron. Hulkenberg the destroyer is in front using every trick in the book to keep us behind. He is 7th and he doesn't deserve it. Even if the tires of him run out the GP is too narrow. It's clear he is slowing us down.

Ok. Should we put Norris in also?

Nah, Hulkenberg first has to pass 5 cars, the others didn't stop. Why isn't Sainz allowed to unlap himself?

[chrisgr]

He is now allowed

[RonDennis]

Let's hope for another crash.

[RonDennis]

Yeah, there it is.

[chrisgr]

Hulkenburg is on mediums. I hope the other cars keep him back. Now what we are doing?

Pit is far too long with the field being this close. You can only do something from P11.

Why not put Sainz on fresh softs in 2nd SC? Go all-in for those few points.

Sainz should have pitted under the second safety car, he had a gap behind and could have left on fresh tires

I'm guessing he is on fresh mediums and he has no new softs. But I'd do the same gamble you mentioned.

[Darth-Piekus]

I don't think with all that damage Sainz could do much. He was like 2 seconds slower than the rest. I am not sure tyres would help his situation.

[chrisgr]

sainz is doing well.

[Darth-Piekus]

Norris though might have eaten tyres as he is not going as fast as before. Can he hold 9 more laps?
