No use fighting the Max RedBull combo on this race… still pleased if our improvements

[stefa]

I don't think we can win ,but till now it's a promising race pace. 1st let's see on Hards what we will do and 2nd let's see on Silverstone!!

Looking at the latest FL from MV, I am sure we can not with him in the race! But 2nd and 3rd would be great result

[killer]

Leave him be. Maximum points should be top of mind for now.

[tifosi1993]

No point fighting Max.

[Aviamata]

2-3 is good enough , Max is unstoppable so i will not upset if we can't win . Carlos did a good job defending Max !

[patrese86]

At least we are giving it a better go than any other constructor versus red bull and we've been shocking for 90 percent of the season

We're now comback to the last year performance ! let's go team

[killer]

Lewis and Lando have gone Medium-Hard, no?

[tifosi1993]

Carlos.....

[Greig]

Sainz 5s penalty

[drax]

Penalty for Sainz … bah

[killer]

OH FFS

[patrese86]

Sainz has a five second penalty now which will have to be served in the pits

[Aviamata]

Now Sainz has a 5-sec penalty , try to protect P3 !

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz possible P5 finish with the 5 second penalty.

[killer]

Have Carlos push now for some padding and then serve the 5s on his 2nd stop? Nurse the Hards then.

[killer]

Sainz possible P5 finish with the 5 second penalty.

In our hands still I think depending on what we do now—immediately.

[Greig]

Pits asking Charles if he wants to do 3 stops, tells them no.

[Aviamata]

I hope that there will be another safety car...

[tifosi1993]

I don't know, 3 stop seems better.

[killer]

5s for Lando evens things out IF he and Lewis stop again.

[tifosi1993]

Just let Max go, not point in fighting

[killer]

Yup. Save the deg.

[Aviamata]

Just let Max go, not point in fighting

yep protect tire is better . We have no chance fighting Max to the end

[patrese86]

We should stop once more for hards, can't see how two stops is quicker even with high deg..let's stretch this out another few laps and do 30 on hards

[Greig]

Well it was nice to lead a race for a bit

[drax]

Everybody needs to stop once again except Max and we are gaining time on Norris, so don’t see why we would want to do an additional stop

[stefa]

Well it was nice to lead a race for a bit

It was!

[Aviamata]

Well it was nice to lead a race for a bit

Now our target should be to catchup with Red Bull !

Yes , we can pull out from Norris a little bit longer
