Good point. Leave him out long enough to give Vettel a nice big advantage without obvious team orders.

Yeah... I'm not buying the soft tyre excuse.

 

[Willie Trombone]

Exactly my thought.

Pity about Riccardo

That was quite the reverse. Pity about the car in the way

 

[Dave]

Max was 20-30 seconds behind Leclerc and he’s now only a few seconds behind.

Edit

Finally they pit him.

 

[Düber]

Ferrari are now borking Le Clerc's race completely. Sorry for him.

Again!

 

[UrBaN963]

Gonna be. 2.9 for LeClerc

 

[UrBaN963]

2.8 - knew it would be too long

/grabs tinfoil

 

[caroper]

All of that was to hold Leclerc out there till vettel could catch him.
That is even worse than team orders it is team sabotage.

And stuck behind Gasly as well, that’ll help Max as well.

 

[Hamster]

So Riciardo, how's that Renault move going for you?

 

[UrBaN963]

LeClerc should accidentally have a radio failure next race and just do his own thing.

 

[Willie Trombone]

Now Le Clerc is going to cook those soft tyres before he gets past Gasly.... chance lost.

Was always going to be a long term move.

 

[Naks]

Tough one, as they couldn't pit him too early, otherwise the softs wouldn't have lasted until the end.

Like opening a retirement home near a crèche. One day those kids will be your customers.

You could call it a reversal of fortunes

 

[Willie Trombone]

14 laps and 28 seconds to make up. Not to mention overtakes.... not gonna happen for Le Clerc.

Well now it doesn't matter lol. Not that tough IMO.

 

[UrBaN963]

So Vettel has the oldest tyres of the three and he’s in 3rd.

So Vettel has the oldest tyres of the three and he’s in 3rd.

And Max is catching him.
