He’ll have to back off and wait for the next stops to try another undercut

The Philosophy.
Max can be a bit hot headed with repeating that same pass and flat spotting. There is another pit stop yet.

Great racing on track and some strategy to come into it.

Max and Leclerc 9 seconds ahead of the rest.
These 2 are giving us a cracking race.
If Sainz is smart with his tires he might profit from that battle. Max has done his tires half way through the stint and Charles we will have to see.

Mercedes just casually sitting on their own in this race. Comfortably 3rd place car right now

Hamilton could sneak a podium here if the plan is to one stop him with the hards.

Charles looked in control throughout. Great racing. Max probably too audacious with that last attempt

I agree he is 9 seconds back and just biding his time, Max 's car cant handle what he is doing for the whole race.
Lewis 9 seconds behind Perez, but his pit for hards could have been a very good call

Merc’s don’t have any pace, no chance for a podium unless the rest have trouble.

Both of the cars in front of the would have to crash out as they would drive right past them after pit stops
That depends on how well the softs last, the hards will start gaining for parts of the race. At the moment he would be around 10 seconds up on 4th if they pitted. Agreed it would be a struggle though.

At least Lewis is used to going round on his own.

So sad for mclaren, from looking strong in Barca to being a lap down half distance race 1.

Everything is slow for Mercedes. Including the pit stops.
Huge improvement needed.

Lewis i again ?
That was unexpected, expected the hard to last longer, will the mediums last 30 laps
I don't think they care about the points for this race, busy getting data.

These 6 Merc powered at the back might as well be a different category.
