With the lack of running in the sprint and with redbull having made a strong forward since monza I find it hard to believe we will have the fastest race car over the course of a race distance.

The dynamics are certainly interesting though. With piastri in p6 and some tough overtakes to make both max and lando will want the full 25pts. If lando can get those points he will also distinguish some hope from redbull and max. The stakes are high.

Tbh I think I will throw the tv out the window if we lose a mclaren at the first corner again.

Not much could have been done. Max goes fully defensive and Leclerc is on softs.

Still I feel the pace looks decent.

Exciting race, I feel like we can get a big haul here, but perhaps not the win.

I'm just frustrated that the moment we get a chance to get a nice fight between Verstappen and Norris (hopefully), we get a Ferrari on a soft.

Too easy for max.

Need to pass Charles and apply some pressure!

Quite a shame about the sprint, with the data and points from sprint this could have been a really good race.

The car is set up to be so high and it's not really ideal. Norris fares better but Piastri is struggling so much.

If this is the pace they have relative to Max, on a course they were quick last year (as in Singapore as well)and unless one of them takes him out, he will take the title.
Insane if they fumble this title.

At this point though Leclerc is only stalling. Such a pity for these cars to be the worst in terms of passing capabilities.

How hard is for Norris to do a Russell late divebomb?
