So, RAI got 10 sec stop and go, and he's jut 2 secs behind RIC. I'm amazed at how bad he is

Regardless of the damage to the car, Ricardo's race is absolutely shameful.

Maybe Ricciardo was faster with fresh mediums and he could win over those lost places. We should have taken the risk.

Bit harsh! He took a big whack from Leclerc....can only imagine it’s impacting the balance/aero of the car on quite a level

Why? Rear floor damage can cost more than 1 second per lap pace you can see how hard it is to pass here you need like a 1 second or greater pace advantage for an easy pass or someone ahead of you to make a mistake.

You may be right but I am very disappointed with Ricardo's work this year. His race today is nothing more than a reflection of the year he has been

We will never know but in my opinion Ricardo's pace is not so much a reflection of the car's damage but of his lack of pace

Do you have the pitwall data to corroborate that? rear floor damage has always been massive especially in the hybrid era

Unfair to assume anything in this circumstance. Seidls comments before the restart was enough to suggest there is significant damage.

Obviously not, they are simply sensations of what he transmits to me on the track.

We clearly saw the difference between active and reactive approach to the race. RIC was defending whole race, and look where HAM is. I just hope he'll raise the bar for the next year, as I'm sooo p***Ed with him from the season start...

This strategy was wrong, VER is 5 sec/lap faster.
