Looks like Danny is on a one-stop strategy.

Merc strategy and slow stop screwed Hamilton there.

It seems like they were planning for 1 stop, then panicked when people on new tires were going faster and switched to 2 stop.

Well he'd better pass him, Max still needs to put on the hards. After their 2nd pits stops, Lando will have the advantage.

He can use softs possibly depending on how long he can stretch this 2nd set of mediums with less fuel load.

Oh I didn't realize that McLaren is attempting a one-stopper.

I thought about that for a moment, but I haven't been paying attention, I don't know how many laps they can do.

Alonso is slowly but surely catching up to Yuki. But I'm not sure if he can pass Yuki with Alonso on mediums (with a lot of laps) compared to Yuki's hards.

Max is pulling away in the lead while screaming his car is a piece of shite.

Yuki's response to Alonso on his arse is to pit for mediums, with 21 laps left. He comes out 5 seconds ahead of Danny. I don't think Danny's one-stop strategy was a good choice.

Hannah on the pit wall for RBR. Usually means a win.

Yuki's undercut of Alonso was probably a smart move, putting him in position to finish P9, but Alonso will have fresher tires and a faster pace for his last stint.

Gasly is doing his last stint on hards, with Yuki on mediums, 3 seconds behind. Can Yuki get by Gasly? That would be awesome.

Edit: Looks like the Alpine on hards is faster than the AlphaTauri on mediums.

Merc pit crew must have been out on 6th street last night.

Might get spicy with Ham on mediums now.
