What are they doing with LEC? 17 laps on hards, thats really short. Hards no grip they say, now on softs. Best strategy S-M-S of S-M-M?

Mercedes pace is very good. Surprisingly good. Is Ferrari hiding pace though? And the Astons might go better on the hards. Intriguing race!
Definitely a sense of Mercedes having solid pace, less so Ferrari… still think they’ve got a solid qualifying car, yet it still struggles in the race… the upgrades weren’t really going to solve that.

Aston seems a bit off this weekend weirdly… 4-5th best overall?

Ferrari pitting Charles early from Hards… to Softs. Really cannot see the logic here, unless they’re just using this race as a test session?

Max dropping Merc by three tenths a lap or so. Miracle needed to beat this guy.

Thought the Alpine would be faster. It's probably just fast in qualifying so Monaco made them look better than they really are.
