Sainz gets reinstated to P3 and Oscar now has damage, amazing.
My fear is that Sainz will try it even harder at restart to pass Oscar. And if he will succede then will be a frustrating race for our boys.
Yeah that was my initial thought too, he's just going to make sure Oscar won't make the corner now

I'd like to think that Oscar won't have 2 poor starts, even an OK start is enough.

I think we have more pace than Ferrari so let's just race them to the end.

Let's remember in Imola we were clearly fastest car on hard when the car is light. Maybe the delta will materialize at the end of the race. We need to get in that position.

Maybe so, but Sainz can just send it unless Oscar is able to cover him off.

Hopefully Oscar can cover and Lando gets a good line on the outside

It doesn't matter. Alonso was having a laugh with his Alpine a couple of years ago and driving 2-3 seconds per lap slower on purpose. Nobody could overtake him.

I think Piastri will not let Sainz through. He will be elbows out.

I think that Sainz isn't that daft.

Was it Australia with the late red flag, restart then another big crash. And all returned to the same position again. Sainz issues seems the same.

There's enough behind us on softer compounds that Lando might get a pit gap.

Now seeing the restart I have to appreciate Oscar's very good start and the fact that Lando showed maturity and was not forcing the attack on Sainz risking a collision.

Funny that stewards noted "the incident" between Oscar and Sainz. The mind blow decission will be to penalise Oscar :))) What clowns.

Oscar is losing DF, there's still some damage.

Pace is very slow but we're still dropping the Mercs, which makes me think that they are going long, or trying to on the Meds.
