Only took 9 laps to show why Ocsar lost a load of time... reckon he's fine, probably tyre management as they have got a long way to go.

Be interesting if Max can start to catch Lando a bit.
Will mediums last 28 laps for Charles? Seems an odd move.
Max really throwing the toys out the pram 
Ferrari put Leclerc on mediums
I’m still amazed Ferrari pitted Leclerc. He was rapid on his fresher set of hards. Bizarre to let that offset go.
If Charles stayed out for 1 more lap he would have got the jump on Lewis no ?
Perhaps Ferrari should install a strategy button too.
They’d need 10 buttons minimum. A-E, and 1-5
No, he’d have lost time to Lewis doing that. The point is though that he would have been closing him down at a ridiculous rate at the end, if they’d waited a few laps.
Mclaren better not feck over Oscar here
I know I’ve already said it a couple times but I’m truly baffled at Ferrari putting Leclerc. Baffled. Especially if they wanted to put him on hards.
Yeah that would be really pathetic.
Did he lock up there?
Agree
Lando locked it up into T1.
Piastri stayed out?
WTF McLaren
Really disappointing by McLaren if they give Norris the win.
Poor Oscar.
Why wouldn't they just let Oscar go first?
Piastri screwed over
I hope they swap them back later. It’d be so shit if they didn’t.
There's no way lando is going to let him through. And why would Oscar want his first win to be a gift? They had a 4 second gap to Hamilton.
Right call from Mclaren, wonder if they will tell them to hold position after the swap.
No chance Lando gives the place back to Oscar
“At your convenience”
McLaren should be waiting until the last lap though.

Well Piastri going off track won't help.
It isn't a gift he was rightly winning and the team took it out of his hands.
Hope this comes back to bite McLaren the cnuts
Can max go to the end and not stop again? Just be a roadblock as it's impossible to overtake on majority of the track?
Nah it's not really gifted to him, just a bit of an odd call from Mclaren to bit Lando first.
tbh it was gifted to Lando to be in the position he is in now
Be interesting to see how much pace Max now has.
Everyone other than Lewis will do 20+ on mediums? Max with 20 the best of the lot I guess.
It wouldn't be but It would feel like a gift. Imagine dreaming of a race win all your life. Think it would be underwhelming, no?
“Once you get to Lando.”
Not going to happen. It’s done, he’s been screwed over.
Not going to happen. It’s done, he’s been screwed over.
Yeah I reckon that might be safest option at this point, Oscar needs to make up 3.5 seconds on Lando so can't really expect him to loose that much time to Lewis.“At your convenience”
McLaren should be waiting until the last lap though.
Yeah obviously can’t sacrifice 3 seconds up front.
There's no way Oscar reels in 3 seconds as both are on the same tyre and only 1 lap difference in tyre age
Urgh Max potentially getting Oscar's place as well
