Charles is dropping away from Gasley

[stefa]

CL PIT?!!?!?!?!?!??!

[jgonzalesm6]

Leclerc ahead of Sainz.....now P8 on lap 16.

[patrese86]

I don't get Carlos sometimes. Put your foot down if you have pace in hand. He did the same in Monaco.

[Greig]

Charles pits for S tyres.

[drax]

Softs ??

CL PIT?!!?!?!?!?!??!

I know....that's very weird!!!!

[Aviamata]

look like we are going to do 3 stops here . Hope there will be late safety car

[ferrari1.8t]

What is Ferrari doing?

[jgonzalesm6]

Softs ??

very weird to put softs on Leclerc. He's going to eat those tire fast IMO.

[Greig]

Charles has lots of S tyres to use, why not use them rather than be on the slower tyre. Let's him attack.

[brucewayne]

What is Ferrari doing?

If anyone understands this team, please explain. So weird...

[Greig]

What is Ferrari doing?

You did not want him to start on hards, now you don't want him on softs.

What do you want them to do?

[brucewayne]

Charles has lots of S tyres to use, why not use them rather than be on the slower tyre. Let's him attack.

Ok why do you start on the hards if you pit after 16 laps?

[Kyss4k]

Leclerc has a basically new car and yet he is still nowhere. What is going on with him? He has no pace even on these new softs.

[Greig]

Ok why do you start on the hards if you pit after 16 laps?

You have to use different compounds, noob.

I know....that's very weird!!!!

Moronic if going to pit so early why not start on new softs. Waste of a hard stint. Short term view of the race, will run out of tyres and have an over long final stint now. Complete waste.

[ferrari1.8t]

You did not want him to start on hards, now you don't want him on softs.

What do you want them to do?

They pitted both drivers too early imo.

Why start on hards to go long, only to pit early?

[Greig]

They pitted both drivers too early imo.

Why start on hards to go long, only to pit early?

So what would you have done?

[Kyss4k]

Ok why do you start on the hards if you pit after 16 laps?

His tyres were gone. His pace dropped behind those starting on softs. The setup is not right, or he is doing something wrong.

[ferrari1.8t]

So what would you have done?

Keep Leclerc out, his pace was fine on the hards. Find a better window to pit him in later in the race for softs.

[Greig]

Have you looked at the laptimes?

[brucewayne]

You have to use different compounds, noob.

Please more respect!
Stop defending every stupid decision. If you start on hards, it's because you want to have a long stint. This is no rocket science.

[patrese86]

Leclerc now passed by Gasly

[stefa]

To be honest, nothing spectacular in CL LP

[Kyss4k]

Keep Leclerc out, his pace was fine on the hards. Find a better window to pit him in later in the race for softs.

It was not fine! I am watcinh live timing lap by lap and he was struggling. Gassly on old softs was way faster than Charles. And now, they both pitted and Charles is again slower than him even though he has softer rubber. This is madness

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles losing time to Gasley again. Can’t even keep up with an Alpine

[Aviamata]

Race pace is not good , the upgrade has failed

[Greig]

No respect for Ferrari haters like you, his pace was dropping badly, why leave him out there with no pace, noob.
