    Surely you just pit piastri now if you are racing.

    Surely you cover norris off

    McLaren were never really in the in the drivers championship.

    Lando simply isn't driving anywhere near well enough to win 9 straight races. He's got to sort his head out, the bottling is getting tiresome.

    George feeling the heat from the announcement of Antonelli? It's a no win situation for him.

    But they are

    They seriously are with the best car now and verstappen going backwards compared to Mercedes even

    They could be exactly 50 points down with 8 to go plus 2 sprints

    They won't be. Which is clearly madness on their part.

    Right now piastri is losing time to norris.

    If they are racing they are racing stupidly.

    Are they hoping to have best tyres at the end and verstappen wont just pit?

    50 points in 8 races requires consistency that Lando simply doesn't have. Mistakes and Poor Starts every other race doesn't let you close a huge gap.

    Lando will be lucky to hold 2nd today frankly with how bad his tyre wear is.

    All comes down to how long Sainz can block Piastri for i think

    Shouldn't work.

    It really will come.down to tyres and how hard they can push on the front

    Norris has lost the champonship here

    Knowing verstappen luck both Ferrari go off and he sails up to 4th

    They have not tried this from the off they ****ed up the first step and have massively gambled here and are just hoping.

    Williams new boy (Franco Colapinto) isn't doing too bad especially as Danny had a 10 sec penalty, not quite in the points but just behind his team mate.

    It's their home race so do or die (not literally). Well done to Ferrari for giving it a try.

    Imo sainz holds up piastri and then pits no point even trying anything especially as it's all about hamilton

    Piastri should get Leclerc. That extra 4 second to Norris could be make a difference though
