Wrong setup. They knew it yesterday. Should have gone lower on downforce, but the sprint kept that from happening.

Hulk already ran a lap on medium so he doesn't have to run them. Unfortunately the car is just shite so it isn't going to make a difference.

I've been paying close attention to the mid-field. That Haas appears to be appalling on race pace.

One more strategic retirement and Sargeant gets a point

Not sure why they are leaving yuki out. He's hung to lose a lot of spots when he pits

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I think he'll come out behind Russell but with a lot fresher tires.

He's having to do like 5 or more laps of "introduction" in an attempt to get the tires to last.

I'm new to watching F1 this year, but I've really started to get into it. How historic is the run that Verstappen is on right now? Is this extraordinary, or do we see dominance like this one a decade or two basis?

Alo is a tough pass. Perez is much faster with DRS but Alo just keeps him behind

Max was running 1:14. That 1:12 for Lando looks interesting. A good broadcast would maybe mention their times occasionally

Gasly isn't getting any attention but he's driving a really strong race.

He still needs to pit one more time. I think Williams gambled on a late safety car and it's not going to work out.

ETA: Ignore what I said. I didn't see he started on mediums and swapped at the restart.

He is, but Max would have passed him a dozen laps ago.

Yuki is driving away from Ocon, and has stronger pace than Hamilton, but not enough laps left to catch him. Would have been cool to see.
