   Interesting that Russell’s second stint was significantly worse than his first. Seems Mercedes still hasn’t quite gotten a handle on how their car handles the tyres; the contrast to last week’s race at Zandvoort where Mercedes had superior tyre management to anyone else is quite stark.

   Also obvious from the chart is that Verstappen was always going to win this race after everyone between him and Leclerc effectively moved out of the way for him. He never lost any time “passing” them, and was probably just managing the gap after Leclerc’s early stop. Despite having the newer tyres twice, both times Leclerc barely made any progress catching back up to Verstappen.

      Why put passing between quotation marks? Have you watched his onboard?

      Obviously Norris had a bad start and Max could breeze right past. Alonso was boxed in behind Gasly and Max could outbrake him. P5 after T1, Gasly didn’t jump aside instead kept racing until Max could get a run on him into Ascari, courtesy of a good exit out of the second Lesmo and getting a good draft. Then Ricciardo couldn’t exactly do anything on the start/finish straight.

      Was everyone overly combattant? Well, no, that would be an insanely stupid thing to do when going up against Max in the Red Bull. All it would harm is their own race as he’s coming past anyway and if you’re trying to resist that you are just losing time. But they didn’t jump out of his way either.

   Trying to work out what would have happened if leclerc had stayed out under the VSC. Would Max have pitted?

   Also, can anyone explain why leclerc slowed so much under the full safety car? He was around 16 seconds behind when it was called but then 23 seconds by the time they pitted. Obviously makes no difference but you’d think he’d be trying to maximise the delta. 7 seconds is huge!

      Max was on soft/medium course and the VSC was too early so he stayed out.

      On Sky commentary, it was reported that Max was told to do the opposite of Leclerc. If Max had pitted and Charles stayed out, it may have been a more exciting race but the result would be the same.

      When the SC is called they immediately go to VSC speeds, thus a 16s gap becomes a 23s gap.
      You see it throughout the field.

      Thus it’s not true when people say that “time lost under VSC is less”. The time you lose is the same, bit when at full speed after the VSC you recover about 1/3rd of that time lost.

   Crazy how the pace of Hamilton’s final stint was similar to Ferrari’s, assuming Mercedes was 1.3 seconds behind in qualifying.
   The W13 is truly a mistery.
