Fascinating how this all shapes up.

Piastri has alot of work to do here.

Norris can hang it out with great race pace and 1 stop chasing down the leaders at the end.

Piastri once again showing bad tire handling.

Dropped away from Antonelli, couldn't extend his stint.

Norris may be trying a one stop. They told him Plan A, while Piastri is Plan B.

I agree, he's struggling out there today.

Norris bringing himself into.play nicely here. Russell struggling to make in roads.

Leclerc definitely trying a one stop.

Norris probably not, this message seems to point to extend his stint.

"From back here, the pace looks good. We want to do Plan A, but keep going if you can."

Norris also.

Russell and max are going to be very vulnerable at the end if they do too. If they do stop again they will have norris and leclerc on mediums chasing them down

I think they wiill try to extend his first stint, but probably aiming for a two stop at the moment. I hope they try a one stop.

They are thinking now about a one stop for Norris, target + 15.

I can`t see a 1 stop with this medium can work.

And a two stop 20seconds behind the leaders is a better options? Not sure I agree.

Piastri has to pass Antonelli to lose as few points as possible if Russell wins the race. We are racing Max.

Verstappen seems bad on tires. He is losing pace.

I'm quite disappointed in the pace during the race. Clean air formula it seems.
