Lando could have started P3/4 - instead he was P12 after the first lap because of the quali mess + penalty + bad start. Unfortunate result at a good track could have been a lot worse given Ferrari's starting positions

In order to take the fight to Leclerc, Norris has to pass Tsunoda in the start then get close to Leclerc.

Bothers me though that Ricciardo has lost his position to Sainz on the restart and he had Alonso as a shield behind him.

Even if it is a standing start, is theformation lap counted also?

I think the restart is great either way, just a massive sprint to the end, carnage and drama aplenty.
Yes, formation lap to grid counts. Would be a 2 lap shootout.
I'd still prefer standing over rolling.
I'm certain it's a standing start.

There are four cars ahead that are on a par or slower than us.

We won't take all four, or probably even 2. But this is a opportunity and anything can happen.

Fingers crossed we get some crumbs drop our way.

I suppose Norris has a chance to reedeem himself from the bad start at the start of the race and Ricciardo for losing that position to Sainz at the first restart despite having Alonso as a shield behind him.

It could get worse or better.

In 3 laps time we could be all smiles or in tears.

Exciting end though.

It’s been a rough weekend, which progressively got worse, with the passing of Mansour Ojjeh. Hope we can have a bit of a turnaround with the last 2 laps. We’ve got to get a good start, with both drivers passing 1 or 2 cars. Fingers crossed!

Yeah, I am at the edge of my seat. I am not particularly happy with the current result, but I also don't want it to get worse.

Leclerc changed directions two times. We were so close.
