And here come the slicks.

 

[McLaren]

Oscar did bring some gravel back onto the track. I think that was just before where Alonso looks to have lost it?

 

[Fezzik]

Max on mediums, the McLarens on hards.
Verstappen's race saved by Fernando. He's got a shot now with fresh rubber.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Another rookie in the wall. This time Alonso

 

[1241Penguin]

Ouch, Alonso out. Hard hit. 😔

Third rookie out this race.

Watching that replay, definitely a spin on the gravel.

No he never made it to Oscar's gravel. Too much kerb, on the slippery paint.

 

[05XR8]

Martin just said could have been just that little bit made it.

 

[McLaren]

Max on mediums, the McLarens on hards.

True, but that Red Bull ate its Inters quicker than the McLarens did. Max will have to make sure he doesn't take too much out of them.

Mediums for Verstappen might have been the correct call, given there's going to be 19-ish laps to go

Mediums was the correct call at Silverstone last year. It would seem probably here too?

 

[Blitz24]

What the hell was that sequence? Shouldn't have a truck in that position.

Then again, apparently rain is coming within 10 minutes, so who knows

 

[05XR8]

These releases are nuts. Oh well, we’ll see how Verstappen attacks for this last part of the race.

Oscar need to hang on for 4 minutes. Gonna be interesting.

 

[Blitz24]

Haas should have stayed out for 8 more minutes. Looks like they have the Ferrari strategy hat today.

 

[Fezzik]

Norris has f-ed off up front

 

[05XR8]

Wow

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Oh no! McLarens off and Piastri boned... Maz leads. 😤 😤

 

[Fezzik]

Piastri off at the final turns. Lando pits.

 

[-Fred-]

What?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Nonononono...

 

[05XR8]

Hamilton P2. Crazy.

 

[Fezzik]

Max stays out on the slicks.
And now pits after 2 laps.

Ferrari still on slicks - genius or insanity?
Bortoleto and Lawson off.

 

[05XR8]

Aww dang. Lawson done.

 

[McLaren]

They got to get 2 cars off with 10 laps to go. Ferrari potential podium?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Lawson and Bortoleto out. Jesus.

 

[-Fred-]

So Kimi's the only "rookie" not to crash today

Whoa, Albon is currently 4th

 

[Blitz24]

They got to get 2 cars off with 10 laps to go. Ferrari potential podium?

Both came to pit road

 

[05XR8]

Ferrari done.

 

[Fezzik]

Ferrari still on slicks - genius or insanity?

Insanity, as usual. To the back they go now.
