PIA is a robot.

no it didn’t. I’ll happily eat my words.

 

Colapinto in the points!!!

 

Absolutely dreadful performance from Charles.
Letting Piastri pass without blocking ( inattentive ?) is just inadmissible.
Well done Piastri.

 

PIA has graduated from the KIMI school of excitement.

 

nah.... someone has to figure out where the 6 seconds went....

sjd

 

Oscar showing Norris how to win. Ferrari need to get Oscar.
Hard to pass and when following your tires suffer, but great drive by Charles but Oscar made the move, fielded the pressure like an utter WDC.
More to follow in Singapore.

Mclaren has no business Oscar to do anything but drive to WIN! How exciting this driver is.

 

Carlos es muy loco . . .

 

Seemed like the car didnt like the hards as well. That crash really hurt point. Normally Carlos is cleaner.

 

He build up 5 sec lead on first stint, Ferrari messed up this, they got undercut by McLaren basically. Leclerc lost all his advantage in the pits, and Oscar got drs while Lec was still in cold tires. Then there was no way past anymore, Leclerc hanging almost whole last stint in Piastri's drs tells that he was the quickest today...
STRATEGY MISTAKE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE

 

Absolutely dreadful from Ferrari!…. Oscar wouldn’t have been that close to Lec in the first place had Ferrari responded to their pit stop immediately.

 

I think a couple of seconds in undercut, and the rest in LEC taking a lot longer to get the hards up to full speed.

Looked to me that we were faster throughout on the mediums. But on the hards, we were faster only during the middle portion of the stint.

 

no that was Charles

Let’s credit Piastri here, he made a bold move stick and then went on to defend for much of the race. It was a very high quality drive from a driver who continues to impress.

Ferrari have some homework, both in figuring out why their car didn’t like the hard compound and in the imbalance across the axles. Watching Piastri defend it was clear that he was having a lot better time “putting the power down” compared to LeClerc.

 

YES! McLaren can have Lewis.

 

Absolutely true but,
He should have blocked Piastri, then one lap later his tyres would have been totally operational with clean air.
BIG DIFFERENCES IN THE END.
Ps : Leclerc just acknowledged he didn’t block Oscar enough, a mistake he said ( his own words)

 

Mclaren are now WCC title leaders in front of RedBull.

or PIA getting his up to speed better....they were right on him as he left pit lane.

 

Sainz race pace is all we need to know about SF24 potential during this GP.
What a shame ..
