2023 Spanish Grand Prix - Catalunya, June 02 - 04

[GoranF1]

No way Alonso is slower than Tsunoda and Stroll,that car is still damaged from yesterday

[chrisc90]

Disinformation campaign from Russell?

Just the sweat in his helmet

[Juzh]

Russell thrashing it now to catch up to Sainz

We'll see if it backfires.
Sainz is a second slower so probably wont matter, except if perez actually arrives later on. currently he's +12s and lapping similarly.

[AMG.Tzan]

Oh Hamilton takes mediums.. so S-M-S for Ham? Maybe they try a one stop for russell

He hasn’t got a new set of softs though

[organic]

What’s wrong with Alonso??

He can’t even match Stroll this weekend…

Could be that there's something wrong with the car that wasn't changed for the race. They only changed the floor assembly judging by the documents.

I was assuming Perez won't stop again now

[TNTHead]

DEV bit underwhelming lately, but TSU is rocking clearly. Better setup?

He won't, but I thought merc won't as well. This could change of course.

Russell thrashing it now to catch up to Sainz

I think it’s less thrashing, more pulling in Sainz due to the race pace difference between the 2 and tyre life difference…

And as I say it, he’s gone. Seriously getting 2013 Mercedes vibes from the SF23… but with even more questionable race pace.

[DGP123]

These Russell messages are just cringe.

I’d say thrashing. His tyres are hurting now. +10 to Lewis now

[organic]

Now tsunoda has undercut Ocon. Alpha tauri playing this one well.

Tsunoda is driving great.

[chrisc90]

Perez is catching up to sainz and Russell well. If he can go to the end it’s a podium chance

[Schippke]

Odd message from Bottas about slowing down this behind to assist Zhou…

On a side note, is it just me or has Bottas been quiet, if not underwhelming since about midday through last year until now?

[Schippke]

… so Charles goes Hard/Soft/Hard… must be something up if they didn’t even consider running the medium with 22-23 laps to go.
