Piastri has no tires to pit onto.

Do they pit Lando for new Hards?

Thankfully slow stop didn’t land Lando behind Albon

Do they pit Lando for new Hards?

Yes, same as Verstappen. Good decision. Piastri has no tires so he has to go with these.

Now the team should tell Piastri to swap with Norris so he can attack Verstappen.

The problem is that Norris consistently bottled his starts. Oscar made just one mistake. Now lets see what Piastri will do with older hards.

Surely Lando needs to be allowed past Oscar?

Oscar had no real starts against Verstappen last year. Easy not to bottle it when you never are alongside.

Norris had to fight against Verstappen who had huge gap and could risk crashes. Super hard to do.

Trouble is oscar and lando will fight and max will drive away

It’s horrible strategy today, but remember he was the one to call of early pit as his Mediums did not work the length as the others. There is definitely things to learn for him

Where is the team orders then? Lando should be left go from the safety car time it goes green. Otherwise this is silly.

[Tvetovnato]

Swap them directly with Norris on fresher tyres. Do the right thing for once.

[Darth-Piekus]

Let's see what happens. There is another chance for a pass. Piastri though jas plder tyres but I hope he will at least give us a battle.

Yeah. I agree. The team should be clear before safety car is removed. Piastri needs to let Norris attack Verstappen and then if Norris cannot overtake Verstappen he will give the place back at the end.

Piastri had his chance to attack Verstappen in the first stint.

Norris needs to get it now.

But, I know the team will just ignore this, let them fight and allow Verstappen to run away.

But still, Lando is called out be ausr he'd screw it up more often than he wouldn't

Difficulty is why should norris give it back? Without a 'let him pass' instruction norris will still get oscar.
We basically want oscar to give in to his likely fate but nicely rather than letting max have it easy by holding lando for 8 laps or so.
