“Hey, Leclerc, how do you feel about plan E, G, H and I?”
At a moment when basically their chances of a podium were gone. Too little too late.
Brundle: “Ferrari with a whole filing cabinet of plans, again…”.
But wait, now the cars will race eachother.
Edit: wow, they acted reasonable this time.
It seemed like Ferrari had started being competent with their strategy. But this race seems to be showing that they’ve still got a few mistakes up their sleeves.
They shouldn’t have left Leclerc out there.
Traditions.
Nice to see Ricciardo still on the same form as before.
Checo will sleep a little easier tonight
Yeap, and Lawson rubbing his hands together, with an ominous look on his face.
First race back, limited practice time, bad strategy. He’s got a lot to prove, but it’s a bit harsh to judge him on this race.
A controversial question, is Hamilton back❓❓❓
Abu Dhabi 2021 lurking from around the corner, looking to make a comeback…
It has Hamilton and Leclerc disqualified because their cars failed inspection.
F1TV via Multiviewer acting up for anyone? I’m having all sorts of buffering and hiccuping.
Max not lovin’ his brakes. Still, starting to build a gap now.
George: “Yup, I can make the tires last, I’ll just make really wide turns, like I’ve been doing” /s
Hehe, “he just needs to follow Max, so he’ll be fine”.
Horner on Perez’s chances in the race.
Is RIC still on his starting mediums?
Pitting as I posted
Close one there towards the end. Two more laps and Hamilton would’ve had it.
McLaren is keeping it interesting. Though I do wonder why he wouldn’t be able to run faster if they knew he was going to pit.
I would think that if the hards can last, Hamilton can win now.
Norris pitted? Wow.
Everyone else probably gonna pit as well.
Hey, at least red bull is actually being forced to react to other teams now!
Alonso up to 9th from a pit lane start. Great stuff. Whatever “upgrades” they brought on Friday were truly disastrous. Stroll up to 10th as well.
Hamilton slowly gaining on Norris. Will his tyres last till the end?
Noooooo I jinxed Alonso :(
Why did you do this? :(
Dang Piastri retiring. Puts Ricciardo up in the points currently.
Excellent start for both McLarens.
I do wonder if Lando isn’t shredding his tyres. Though it could also just be Ferrari doing Ferrari things and slowing eachother down.
Appears to just be Ferrari being Ferrari. They’re down to 3rd and 5th from 2nd and 3rd, and Max is gonna pounce on Leclerc soon.
Seems like it, yes. Through the corners the skittishness of the Ferrari makes it look like an injured animal being hunted by a predator. The Red Bull by Max seems to move like it’s not even looking to overtake too quickly.
This seems like one of those times where Red Bull needed Perez to step up. Either by winning outright or by being a nuisance to the people chasing Verstappen.
