While I agree with the commendation of Oscar staying close.....is everyone forgetting x3 DRS zones worth 0.7 per lap. I was also impressed he kept his tyres alive following but I'm not sure this would have been the case on circuits that dont gift the guy behind such free lap time
Logged in to say the same - it's clear the car can follow close without hurting tyres too much, though 3 DRS zones at such a short track are a bit silly, imo.

So chuffed for the whole team and both drivers, they're a machine at the moment 8)

Unlike every other race this season?

I think Oscar deserved a lot of praise here, especially so being Lando's favourite track.

I think the upgrades have taken the car even further to Oscars liking when it comes to how it handles the fronts on entry.

It was obvious from the mini sectors, in the front limited corners Oscar was SO much faster, even in Lando's dirty air.
