This kind of weather + track condition showed this car's true advantage. 1 second per lap faster is mad

Hard tyres again and we aren't showing the same pace. Lando will be chasing Oscar so the Hard does seem to be our equaliser.

I dont know what you mean by not showing the same pace, they're both doing 29s, the others are high 30s

It's ridiculous.

Watching the gap to Russell and it isn't growing at any great pace. We seemed faster earlier.

It's slowly and steadily decreasing, but if it stays at this rate of closure there's not enough laps in the race.

3 tenths per sector isn't great pace? What the hell.

I think they are controlling the pace. In the meantime I watched Hamilton and Leclerc and I never understood why Ferrari did not swap them 3 laps earlier? Hamilton was the faster car.

Yeah, the pace seems fantastic to me.

Read the message. It said not the same pace, not that it wasn't great pace. But in these last 2 laps it has really picked up.

This will be the 1 and 2. Do feel a bit for Lando, as this one is no real fault of his own.

It's still at least 5-6 tenths faster. I bet both cars are nursing their tires to be ready in case of SC.

Funny to see that the TV director had to go show McLarens because they checked out.

They were making the gap faster once they got by Max.

Hards take down the advantage a notch.

I know I know. But 0.5s a lap is still a massive advantage.
