Why pull Ricciardo in for hards so early?? Lando showed the mediums on a long stint worked. ANother rubbish strategy for Dan.

Seemingly only lost out to HAM in the end. That’s on the team. On top of NOR own mistakes, I guess it’s a decent enough outcome in the end. He lost 5.7 seconds to HAM with undercut/slow pitstop
Looks like NOR has pace but made several mistakes and then team made one as well. Net loss probably just one position but it is annoying - you don't win races if you make these type of mistakes.

A shame no one from top 3 teams is out - we could get a nice points haul against Alpine if someone retired.
he only made one mistake and that was losing to Alonso on the vsc

I suppose 7-8 is where we are supposed to end.
With all the issues I'll happily take 7&8. Missed opportunity on Lando's side though.

Had to cover Gasly, nobody knew medium-soft was a quicker strategy. Correct call at the time.

That made sense. They were covering/defending against Gasly who was undercutting.

I dont if Lando is not giving his best at the moment, but even with a fast pit stop Hamilton would have been in front of him. Judging from the pace on softs right now. Oh, perez in pits!!

Several mistakes? I get the one that let Alonso past. Not sure on the others

The strategy was the right one… Gasly had more pace than RIC, the team had to cover the undercut… It is because of that move that the team is 6-8 right now

7/8 is as good as we can get without incidents. If this Daniel Ricciardo was at all other GPs he wouldn't be out a job. Qualifying near Lando helps

For those who are questioning his start, Lando's car had a problem soo he never had launch map, which means he had to do a manual start..Will said somethings wrong before he went into formation lap

Lando could have perez covered here. Deserves the extra points!
