If Lando can hold on to this tires for another 20 laps (which is probably a lot to ask), he could get back on track on Softs for his final stint and in a good position to fight for points

Will the others in front of Norris gonna go for another pit stop? Is it possible that we can do one less pit stop than them for Norris and Daniel?

I’m afraid the guys in front extended the Soft stint enough to not need another pitstop… But Lando will definitely have a tire advantage, the problem will be losing to Perez, we need to watch those lap times, but as long as he is hold up by Daniel, we will probably lose that position to the Red Bull

Maybe the Ricc's pace is a Mclaren strategy to earn places with Lando against Russell and Stroll?

Lando could catch the Renaults towards the end, but 1 or 2 points is the reality.

RIC was asked to do 1:18:2 to help NOR get ahead. He’s been mega as a team player today. Don’t hate for no reason.

Can Norris pass the two Renaults and Perez to gain some points?

Lando’s pace is roughly 1.3 seconds faster than both Alpines which are on Mediums and will probably struggle towards the end of the race… There is a possibility to steal a P7… Lando already 6 seconds ahead of Daniel, which shows how big the pace difference between them is

On fresh tyres though.
