Magnussen just fell to 17th and Schumacher has moved into 7th. What the....??

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton is really a-comin on Alonso. Still a 2-second gap between them and closing.

kinda sad for Mags.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like folks are changing from wets to drys. Pit stops abound.

The Schmooster curse is losing ground here. Ya may come-out of the race with some serious points today.

everyone started on drys.

 

[Retroram52]

Sainz leads the race and Verstappen falls to Third. Alonso is sandwiched in between.

I dunno. The yellows has not been my friend this year. usually screws up my teams. I liked my 4 drivers with a gap on the field. Now they're on two different strategies. & when that happens Ferrari usually screws themselves. LOL

I must have been asleep or something.

coffee is my friend!

Schumacher is hangin' in 7th. This a good sight for Haas.

 

[Retroram52]

LeClerc with all of his chaos this week-end has moved to 12th.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen is closing on Alonso. He is right on Alonso's tail.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

@Retroram52 so you being a seasoned vet in this series.
What do you think?
the guys that stayed out, plan on it being a one stop race?
Really dont understand why they didnt stop.

 

[Retroram52]

Got him. Now he is 5 and half seconds behind Sainz.

On this circuit, they may get away with it but if this were IndyCar, it would be a great strategy. But because of the stark differences in the various compunds that F-1 brings, it is risky indeed and the chances of that strategy failing are pretty good.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen is closing on Sainz. Down to 4 and half-second gap.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Well Haas self imploded. Sucks for the American team.

Sorry dude. But that staying-out strategy has been the bain of many-a-driver and this trackiis forgiving on old tires but like I said, the variations in the many Pirelli tire compounds make that strategy pretty risky especially when ya have a championship car behind you with fresh tires.

Shit, I really don't know why the Haas cars just flat-out crash the toilet and seems to be a predictable interval of time that all the good they have accomplished gets totally destroyed and it is rapid and stark.
