Team making a good point - Sainz doesn't want us to pit as they don't have a medium to switch to. So if Lando pits Sainz has to stay out.

Yeah Sainz is managing the gap to Russell.

Clever man.

But Hamilton will pit and all the meds will and we'll get the gap, I hope.

So we are in a good spot - second Ferrari can't challenge our strategy and the first Ferrari will not give up track position.

Just hoping we don't get a safety car to bunch us up. If it continues like this we can challenge them at the end of the race.

Russells tires will go so much that Sainz can't keep backing, so something is coming our way and Lando will pit, I'm sure.

Team telling Leclerc to slow and reduce the window to Russell.

Whatever happens, Norris should change tyres at the end of the race. It doesnt matter p4 or p6

He will pit the moment he get's the comfortable gap, no question of that. No point pitting behind any of the med drivers though as he'll never make the time up.

But if you can go 3-4 seconds a lap faster (likely) - you can overtake.

He's got to get past more drivers plus backmarkers, It isn't that easy I don't think. He needs to be in front of Russell to make a go of it I think.

I have a feeling 2-4 will be the maximum today. It's impossible to pass.

When will Hamilton pull the trigger, pit and make the other mediums consider pitting.

It's impossible to pass. Some miracle must happen to pass.
