He’s very, very lucky boy is Sainz. He never had this type of luck when he drove for McLaren
Just a fan's point of view

I'm sure he did lol

He also was a little bit loose with his decision making when driving for us.

It's a real pity though. Two times Sainz screwed Oscar's race and got away with it.

I am not that annoyed at restarting with Sainz in P3 again - that I can understand, but we may get a 77 lap race on hards without pitstops.

I hope we can make some magic happen. If we win it will be really well earned.

His podium at Brazil, 2019 comes to mind.

Any other track, I am with you, but we're about to see a two hour long parade. There's nothing to do here without crashing into your opponent.

I don't think Hards can hold for 77 laps.

Yeah very true. Was thinking Brazil but couldn't think why. Didn't he tangle with Lando or something?

Oscars car is fixed.

If you are P6..7...etc you can try it. If lasts is ok, if not...also ok.

My fear is that Sainz will try it even harder at restart to pass Oscar. And if he will succeed then will be a frustrating race for our boys.

Hards will last a race because you can go so slow and still not be overtaken, plus no-one else can pit so they also go slow.

If something happens that triggers a round of pits, that is different. Like a gap behind that you can pit into and then catch up and attack. I think I remember that before, but I doubt it will happen.

I'm frustrated because i'm afraid of this restart. Sainz shouldn't even be there but what can you do?
