Pace from both cars on the hards is horrendous, going backwards.

Hopefully it's just the initial phase and they come back to us.

Why is the pace so bad with hards? It it better than Ferrari's pace but we can't catch Gasly and Alonso.

Think I was right, picking up now.

Lando’s now on pace… Maybe took him a bit long to get tires up to temperature without damaging them… But he is on the charge now with a couple of personal best laps

Lando's pace now seems to be better than Gasly but what about Fernando?

Quicker than Alonso too, could catch him at this rate. But it's tight.

Alonso too far down the road - not sure we have the pace to catch up now without taking all the tyre life out early

Yes, both will. Lando needs half second per lap to catch. He's actually on that pace, race is on for me.

Lando should be going to the end, as well as Daniel… Daniel without traffic is 8 tenths slower than Lando though, that’s a big gap in race pace

So our target is Alonso and we need as many cars between us and the Ferraris.

Even Perez could be in place… He is on 21 laps old Hards vs Norris on 15 old tires

Alonso gap has stabilised, that race is all but dead. Perez pitting though, that could have promoted Lando to 4th. Perez has lots of work to do.
