Sainz said : I can win this race ! (can't wait to see that)

I'm worried for the Ferrari things

And I'm happy to see the Hulk at P7 ...

Poor Chas can't get a break and it's unknown if his car will even be competitive with whatever the mechanics worked on.
Just read they fitted new PU 'elements' to it.

Anything can happen if Max gets a DNF.

Lets hope for a race without crashes and mechanical problems for everyone

M5Rick · 06-04-2023, 08:01 AM

Only Max, Checo and Sergeant starting on Mediums while the rest on Softs apart from LEC on hards, could be close on the start.

Fliplegend · 06-04-2023, 08:02 AM

2 or 3 stops? Which will it be.

M5Rick · 06-04-2023, 08:05 AM

in the end it mattered little as Max gets a gap on Sainz.

Fliplegend · 06-04-2023, 08:06 AM

Poor NOR

M5Rick · 06-04-2023, 08:07 AM

^ Yeah Lando came off worse in a hit with HAM.

It was very close ...
Lando hit LEW and Lando is in the pit !

Great start from Stroll !

1- MAX
2- Sainz
3- Stroll
4- LEW
5- Ocon

///M Power-Belgium · 06-04-2023, 08:13 AM

Lap 7 : MAX at P1 with a 3.5 sec. gap .

GuidoK · 06-04-2023, 08:15 AM

The racepace of the MERC's with the updates looks to be an improvement.
My guess is that HAM will overtake SAI in a few laps

He's on the best for now Mediums as Sainz pulled alongside him at the start but Max had the racing line and Sainz will be in first. Hope Lance can keep the pace up.

Fliplegend · 06-04-2023, 08:18 AM

Nice move RUS and HUL with a double!

I wouldn't be surprised if Max would pull a stunt and do just 1 stop if he goes to hards

HAM gets past Lance and eying SAI so Max goes a FL to pull away further.

GuidoK · 06-04-2023, 08:22 AM

I'm surprised that PER can't overtake ALO, as ALO isn't particularly fast atm.

Sure . MAX has the best pitstop strategy with his mediums .

Think It's 2 pit stops for MAX , for the others 3 ..

Checo is running well at P7 .

Lap 15 : A fight from LEW vs Sainz is coming up !

Could do, Max can work wonders with those Mediums.

Carlos is taking no prisoners today!....as he pits for Mediums, Ferrari strat is at work.

GuidoK · 06-04-2023, 08:28 AM

LEC only does 17 laps on hards?
And goes to softs?
Ferrari tactics...looks like the ferrari's have big degradation problems compared to the rest, and MERC seems to have solved that very well.
