When you say concept change what do you mean? Did we make the car longer or have we found something new to exploit the shorter car length?
I read a few weeks ago a statment from Andrea Stella and he said,quoting from my mind:"we are going to change the concept which will offer a new path of developing the car".

Great start, a shame Norris had to be defensive against Piastri but 1-2 is good :).

Let's race it cleanly and take 1-2. Guys be smart!

I don't care who wins, 1-2 would be mindblowing.

Yeah, they should look at this like 2024, it's almost certainly not a WDC season so let's just maximize points.

Yes unless piastri hold us up enough for ferrari to undercut us both.

This race looks to be 2025 once again. Lando with opportunity to go one stop.

Good first stops. Norris with a 2 second pitstop probably comes out in P1.

ANT may be going for a one stop. Hadjar needs to be cleared fast.

If it wasn't for running wide in turn 2 norris would run away with this.

I hope PIA don´t destroy his tyres and lost everything, but pace gives some margins.

Hopefully as I dont think were pulling away enough from ferrari enough to fully relax.

Oscars keeping ferrari race alive a little here
