There's a good chance of the undercut on Perez.

McLaren needs to improve the pitstops. I know it's not a huge thing but if you have 0.8s slower stops, you'll lose out when people undercut you.

Same for Lando. I get being cautious, but that's quite slow.

Our pitstops have been absolute rubbish today.

3.9s for the last lando stop. Sorry but this has been a problem for a good few years now. It’s not good enough for the ambitions

Funny thing, they seem a lot better during practice, but in race conditions, they’re awful! They actually called Lando’s a good stop on TeamStream...🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Ok Perez has stopped twice so the battle will be to get him when his tyres go.

Lando in the mid/high 1:34’s... Perez in the high 1:35’s... That is good towards the end of the race... Ric may be able to get the position back from Perez if he needs in the high’s 1:34’s

We are catching up with Perez. We'll have a fight on our hands after his last pitstop.

Taking 8 tenths on the middle sector on Per, who just pitted... We have a good chance of finishing ahead of him by the end of race with 16 laps left... Dani needs to block him hard!

Tyres were gone for Perez.

Hoping Stroll can do us a favour now.

1.9s stop for VER. That’s half the time. And teamstream says “good stop”. Think they need to be a bit more critical and bang some heads together. 2.5-2.7 I can accept but 3.9 isn’t

Lando's pace on the hards is really decent! Been a great drive so far.

Norris will come either 4th if Perez doesn't get him on time or 5th. Ricciardo will settle for 7th.

Maybe we are lucky and Perez won't be able to close the gap by the end.

The pace difference between Lando and Daniel is way bigger than I expected
