LEC is going slow to preserve the hards to make sure he grabs this race win.

And LEC cant have the gap between NOR and RUS too big so NOR can get a free pitstop.

Yeah . Hopefully , the pit can be a trick !

But I think , MAX will not see the podium today ...
The RB20 is today not a dominant car , maybe in the Spain GP (Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya) again ..
And Lando just ran 1 cm from the wall ..

The tyre preservation society is in full swing

Coming up to halfway and as Murray Walker used to say, 'If something happens in F1 it usually does'

EDIT: ''Its over halfway James, why didn't you tell me'

I wonder what's wrong with TSU.
Hammy now has a free pitstop.
TSU was very much on Hammy's tail for a long time...I wonder if he cooked his tyres by doing that....

GuidoK · 05-26-2024, 10:46 AM

Then again....not pitting Hammy for fresh tyres.....failing Merc strategy?

Lance has new boots and he could make things tricky for the leaders.

He clipped a wall also I think.

GuidoK · 05-26-2024, 10:56 AM

Luckily RB was awake when Hammy pitted.
I wondered if Max shouldn't increase the gap to RUS so that he could counter the undercut a bit more.

GuidoK · 05-26-2024, 11:13 AM

If Hammy still has a set of unused softs, I'd pit again for that set of softs

Try and wear RUS's mediums more but the 20 is a pig on those hards.

M5Rick · 05-26-2024, 11:15 AM

Looks like Mclarens plan has failed and they're just cruising for the points.

Not before time though

Bravo Charles and you’re newly adopted son Oscar.

///M Power-Belgium · 05-26-2024, 11:28 AM

Congrats for Charlie and for Killed by Death too !

Finally ! And without #FerrariThings !

3798j · 05-26-2024, 11:29 AM

Wonderful!

GuidoK · 05-26-2024, 11:29 AM

A well deserved win for Charles!
Fastest all weekend.

Too bad the red flag situation took away the mandatory pit stops. I think now the top 10 finishes is the same as the top 10 starting grid? (and not a single overtake during the race in the top10)
Is that a record? I mean for a race that's not stopped due to rain etc.
For sure it's a recipe for a very boring race....

And BP is crapping out constantly for the last 30min or so....where is this site hosted....in the middle of africa or so?!?
Downtime here is horrible!

M5Rick · 05-26-2024, 11:30 AM

Yeah well played by Chas there KbD
