Track Map
What a move by Kimi.
With the way Verstappen is struggling and overheating his tyres, it seems Yuki theoretically has a chance to finish before him.
CHARLES DON’T LISTEN TO THEM NOOOOOOO
Max on mediums and Kimi on softs… how many stops are they planning to do??
Ooh
Crazy how Leclerc still doesn’t seem to have enough authority to call his own strategy. We ofcourse only hear soundbites.
Though I don’t get again why they didn’t split strategy.
Russell’s transponder seems broken lol
Mclaren is just taking the piss with that radio call.
Whelp that safety car was pretty convenient…
idk if Ferrari’s pit strategy is good, but at least they gave us some entertainment
I’m not entirely sure I understand what is going on though, with Antonelli getting softs with 29 laps to go.
God Merc has bungled Kimi’s race here. Surely they’d prefer track position instead of the extra stop at the safety car?
Charles always in shit situations, still giving it all
Now its the TV Director. Where the fuck is the timing tower?
Probably hidden because they’re having problems with Russell’s transponder.
Edit: now they showed it again in lap 44 you can see Russell’s time was not changing while everyone’s time was.
I believe they switched to the old-school method of “gaps updated when passing the starting line” at that point, since overtakes were not being shown in the timing tower
Imagine winning a race and 7 days later you run in last… while being Max Verstappen
A full safety car for some debris sweeping? Smells like meddling in here…
