    What is it about this track that Perez seems to love? He just seems so much better round here that every other track.

    It was but I think he's OK as it wasn't in braking zone.

    Piastri can't be passed!

    Verstappen has got the straight line speed to pass norris on **** tyres and albino is towing norris now.

    It does seem like Williams are finally starting to move up the grid. Albon is doing very well to keep Norris behind him.

    What the actual **** are maclaren doing calling pit stop with 20 laps to go.

    Thank God norris had the brains to call stay out.

    Mediums just will not last 20.

    Another 5 laps imo.

    Then we will see who will try and drag their car to the end without a puncture

    Norris will pit and have to go go go.

    Verstappen nowhere.

    Now is the time to pit.

    Fast pit and you come out ahead of hulk imo

    Zero point holding to the end hoping

    15 seconds to gain in 13 laps.

    Let's see what these tyres can do I guess.

    The young lads are proving they can cut it.

    Macca can keep ferrari behind but can't drive away


    Norris 10 seconds gap 10 laps to go. He won't get by.

    Genuine battles as drs is really only affecting certain battles thst make it easy to sail by.

    Where the traction is equal and braking equal the drs isn't able to help ferrari.

    Macca must have the better drag
