I don´t understand this stops. Because risk if VSC.

Hamilton forced our hand. I wonder if Leclerc was playing Lame.

I would have gone longer, Lec can manage this race now and hope, he does like to roll the dice.

But Hamilton was so far behind. He wasn't closing the gap. We are now fully exposed to a SC/red flag. I'm quite surprised.

The would have been considering both drivers.

We are quite uncertain in the box… :/

We are almost cover Max with Norris.

[Darth-Piekus]

Damn it. What is the pit crew doing? Piastri could have been in front on Leclerc without that delay.

VSC and SC are not a problem at all, only a Red Flag risks Norris position.

[Szabi1112]

Piastri should pick up the speed

[Mcl_G10]

Max gonna back them right up?

Red flag is good for us, we would do a second stop and Max would need another one with no gaps. Whatever happens we should pit.

[Szabi1112]

I didnt follow the rules. Do we have to set soft tyres in the last stint?

Yeah that's a good point. So in that case, the strategy has been absolutely fine, although there's Questions around Piastri's undercut.

Yeah, quite complex to think about this.

The pace against Ferrari looks very similar. It will be hard to get 1-2.

[mwillems]

Not sure what our pace is right now with all this traffic. I think Piastri might be able to strategise to 2nd, but that's the only place we'll be able to get it.

Another painful Monaco "race".

[Darth-Piekus]

What's with the lapped cars not making way immediately? I noticed it earlier with Max also. They have to make way immediately.

[mwillems]

I suppose that we could always Pit Oscar again and go for the undercut in a few laps, might be wroth a risk.
