Well Hamilton will do whatever he wants. Norris and Ricciardo have another chance against their Ferrari rivals. We needed that after that badluck at the start.

What is happening now? Is there gonna be a start position restart or a lap behind the Safety Car? In any case let's go team. We got another chance.

Problem is HAM is now a threat again...
Hamilton is 1 lap down.

Standing start. Lando finally gets to rightfully start P3!

I know we are slippery in the straight but....I don't think we will be able to hold Perez back...

Still not sure whether with standing starts all cars are effectively unlapped again? Fingers crossed for a no

Our battle is with Leclerc. We can get him on the start and reclaim our rightful place.

Yeah, I feel like it might be the better strategy to let Perez through so he can hunt Lec down :?

Personally I vote to try and pass Leclerc and worry later about Perez. We can't let Leclerc be in front cause today he had very good pace.

Commentators just confirmed that lapped cars will be allowed to unlap themselves.

Depends on what the pace is. We don't really have a clear read on how Lando compares to Leclerc on equal conditions.

So HAM will be able to unlap. He really does have a ton of luck on his side

There's still a lot of traffic he has to go through. Fingers crossed Lando has enough pace to keep up / overtake Lec. Should take him a while to catch up to Nor if that is the case.

It's not guaranteed that Perez will be able to pass either Norris or Leclerc. If we pass Leclerc we can worry about Hamilton or Perez later but we need to pass him first. Let's see if they can do some changes to the set up to help both Norris and Ricciardo.

If he didn't pit, he'd be luckier. It looked like a definite red flag to me, I'm surprised teams didn't abort their pitstops after that crash.
