We could have been looking at a P2, without that slow stop

Don’t think so. The race pace isn’t on the level required

Hamilton is on his backside with 21 laps to go, I dont think the stop will have prevented that.

Hoping Ric can buffer sainz from Lando for a while.

Looks like no one can overtake. With a normal pitstop, we are ahead of Bottas for P2.

Annoying that Ferrari lucked out into the lead, they will probably win this.

Sainz is 13s behind Norris. I think this is safe.

It seems that something pushing the tire hard gets it out of the graining phase and it starts clearing up. I remember previously that was the case a year ago. Sometimes taking it easy on the tyre isn’t the way to go

So annoying that Ferrari got two poles and today they might get a victory with all of the circumstances helping them. Damn. Silverstone doesn't suit Mclaren.

McLaren is just slow. Lewis past Norris very easly.

Bottas tyres are going, not sure they will pit him though. Hopefully Norris can manage his tyres to avoid a second stop and not burn them up chasing a podium.

Smoke keeps randomly appearing from Ric's engine. Does he have an issue?

I know they aren't fast today. The car doesn't suit this track however Leclerc had all the luck in the world for getting that first place and of course the penalty to Hamilton.
