Good pace from Lando compared to ALO and GAS, roughly half a second a lap faster in this initial stage of the race

Daniel will get a free overtake on Magnussen who will have to change the front wing of his car

Well, gaps back to naught

That safety car might screw some drivers. Hopefully Lando won't be one of them. We need to finish in front of Alonso in order to reduce the difference. So far the upgrades seem to have given him the upper hand but that SC has reduced the differences to 0. I wonder if it's time for Slicks.

What a fooking (Red)BullShit having 2 teams in F1. Verstappen on Tsunoda and Gasly was pathetic.

You can't really help it. While Scuderia Torro Rosso is a B-Team working for Red Bull the Red Bull car is so much faster. Even if there is an order I don't think there is a way to prove it. Meanwhile Safety Car screwed Lando a lot as he lost a 12 second difference to Verstappen so I don't think he will keep 5th. Let's hope Alonso can play shield for a long time to build some distance.

Hahaha..no...but I'm happy to see "the champion" behind Lando and I'm hoping for (at least) P5 for us today. Luckly Alonso is not on payment bill of Red Bull and Lando could put some space between him and P6/P7.

You don’t need to put that in brackets imho. Last season was done. NOR pace however is pretty decent

I have a feeling though that soon we might need slicks as the GP is drying. In the meantime as Silvio said above Fernando Alonso is a champion that knows how to defend and I have to tip my hat to his skills battling against a car leagues faster. Verstappen has to spit blood to pass him. Lado though can't seem to be able to open the distance to more than 3 seconds.

Considering that Max is making Alonso push a bit more than he probably would like to protect the tires… The pace is actually pretty good if Lando is saving some tires

Wow Alonso out…..

[Darth-Piekus]

I think it's time to change tyres as the Safety Car will be out again. Without Alonso between there is gonna be a battle with Verstappen soon. Let's see if Lando has the speed to keep him behind.

After latest news about the budget cap and investigation on RedBull and AM...seems last seson is not over yet
And you're right...Lando pace seems pretty decent.

Do you think Red Bull will be disqualified and if that happens will Verstappen keep his points? For the love of God with all these accidents. Pit stops this time. Maybe not. I have no idea what is happening.

Yup, this is my feeling. Red Bull disqualified and no further actions on drivers championship.
Seems Alpines are out today. Ricci on points, good day for our boys to recover some gap to Alpine.
