Norris, come on ...

Max and oscar pushing hard early

[SilviuAgo]

Important now to pass Max before Leclerc pass Hamilton

EDIT: not the case, team orders in Ferrari

[Mcl_G10]

I have said previously that lando can't afford a car to come between him and Oscar at the start. Unfortunately that happened.
Now he must try pass max and in turn lose alot of time to oscar.

[Mcl_G10]

Nice

It's Oscar v lando now.

Max will be under pressure from max later on.

[SilviuAgo]

yess...Let's goo!!

[Darth-Piekus]

Any reason why not put them both inside? Norris is gonna lose a position now.

[Mcl_G10]

Make use of better tyre wear, same as ferrari.

[SilviuAgo]

Ya; maybe 20-23 laps on softs and rest on Mediums,

[Darth-Piekus]

Hopefully they know what they are doing cause at this point Max will be in front of them once they finish their pit stops.

[SilviuAgo]

Team asking Oscar if lap 25 is possible. The replay was Yes, but difficult.

[Mcl_G10]

Hopefully they know what they are doing cause at this point Max will be in front of them once they finish their pit stops.

And also used the best of his current tyre.

1 stop sounds optimistic but it looks like that's where mclaren are heading?

[mwillems]

Slow stop.

Oscar gained 8 tenths in that stop.

[Darth-Piekus]

I can't say I like what I saw so far. We need to change once more and we put our drivers in doing so much work.

[SilviuAgo]

Hmmm...I observed this: McLaren pitstops started from some races (not to say that for all 2025 races) to be almost crap. They are going more and more to 3 seconds/stop than to 2 seconds/stop. Compared with the year when they were doing 1.8, now seems like a rookie team. 3 for Lando, 2.2 for Oscar. Nice job to put another almost 1 second between them.
