I'm not complaining if Alonso passes Sainz and cuts points from Ferrari also but Ricciardo started well after the stop but dropped dramatically.

Daniel can catch Sainz if his tyres are gone.

I find RIC pace really hard to understand. From falling back almost behind GAS to then pick up the pace again. Seems he’s over stressing/heating the tyre way earlier then his competition

Hes still slow, it's just Sainz has very old Mediums.

Either Lando is controlling the pace or his tyres started to die.

He’s already mentioned his driving style has had to change a bit, once he has his way, he’ll pick up. He’s shown glimpses of a strong race pace.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Lando doing an excellent job on worn tyres. Only 1 lap younger than Sainz. Another superb drive!

Lando has been stellar. Genuinely fast and intelligent tyre usage. He’s become quite the package
