Norris gapping Stroll.

Ricciardo obviously managing an overheating problem. He is pulling out of the slipstream.

Nope, just stuck in the DRS train. Everyone managing temperatures.

Lando is doing a great job of saving his tires and building a nice gap to Stroll which is almost 10 seconds… If he can keep doing that, he will be ok

Daniel unluckily is at the end of the DRS train, which doesn’t help… Very hard to make the move on a car that also has DRS

The team just need to be patient with Daniel… I would go very long with him in order to have a tire advantage in the second stint

I dont think so. He just sticks behind slower cars.

I don't know. Something doesn't seem right to me regarding the car of Ricciardo. Something strikes me as wrong. Maybe its my imagination and its really hard to pass a DRS train but something seems off.

Ricciardo should go for a late pitstop to outlast those in front.

He needs to get past RAI when RAI loses DRS and then go full pelt and take everything out of the tyre for the pit stops. RAI is on hard so will go long

It would be interesting to get Norris on a Soft to Medium stint.

Very nice job by Lando on those Softs… And he keeps going with very good pace…

Apart from the two Mercedes and the two Red Bulls is Lando faster still than the rest?

Yep easily. NOR barring a technical or other incident is nailed on for 5th

They pitted Norris into the DRS train, that was very risky. Fortunately Norris was able to clear Raikonnen quickly.

"Excellent job from the pitcrew – they managed to spot a stuck tear-off and remove it from Lando's car."

Maybe Ricciardo has something similar.

"OK Lando, I know you're bringing the tyre in but if you can break DRS to RAI behind, it'll help Daniel. Gap currently 0.8s."

"RAI will not have DRS."

Teamwork!

RIC says impossible to pass for him. So it’ll have to be strategy to get him ahead but I can’t see how to do that without getting LEC all over him. Expect him to box soon imho
