It’s sad there was no challenge but a crash is more devastating than losing 7 points. It’s unfortunate but maximise points where you can. Norris qualy position is now showing where Maclaren is unable to put the pressure on Max. A 10sec lead just to pass GR is such awful.
Problem was Oscar slept at the start…

Max starting to lose a little? Edit, No

If max pits soon and before norris then lando must extend and push to the maximum to come put better placed than 9 sec for second stint

His start was fine, his approach to the fist corner was a Sunday drive.

Today luck is simply not there, VSC just after both the McLaren cars have pitted

Ocon's car wasnt on a dangerous place to warrant a VSC. Extremely suspicious.

McLaren should have just mirrored Max, it wasn't clever to pit early.

There is nothing to be done for this. Extremely unfortunate.

Max in the meantime did not race with 30% less speed as he increased his distance during the VSC instead of the distance staying equal.

Lando had got the gap to 9 seconds, but was going back to 10 quickly. He needed to stop or would be undercut if tyres going off.

It was just unfortunate that Max got a cheap stop.
