Mclaren pit wall make me shake my head at their naivete - that said, Norris was unable to make a dent in Verstappen's lead even after he passed Piastri

There was no catching / stopping Max today - his pace on all tires was just immense - he pulled 3 seconds on the Mclaren after the SC restart in 3 laps
But if you are correcting for safety cars what about the Time Max gained by pitting during the Safety car vs Lando.

I think he's saying Max opened up a 10 sec gap before the VSC and another 6 sec after the SC.

You need to select the driver in the options, below the F1TV/Int options...

I did, for multiple drivers. I then get an onboard video stream, but the audio is still the Sky commentary.

He was low key asking for the championship leader to step aside so he could gain a few extra points, because even if his car was faster we all know there was no way he was going to be able to overtake Max. He is too weak.

Yeah no, he caught all of them there. The first corner of the race and the SC restart was just masterclass from Max. Fully deserves this win.
Max looking more comfortable is a good sign, but that RB can be tricky so lets see if they can be more balanced going forward. If so then this championship is wide open.
Mclarens looked fine, but I think Max's pace did catch them off guard a bit today.
Leclerc does not look like a happy man at Ferrari atm.
Well done to the Williams team, so nice to see them fighting in the top 10, as it should be.
Overall a much better race weekend than what I was expecting. The quali was great, race was good with some good action all around.
Uggghh Monoco next. At least Saturday will be fun,.

Piastri 1st stop = lap 14/63 medium to hard
Piastri 2nd stop = lap 33/63 hard to hard
Lando 1st stop = lap 29/63 medium to hard <-- he was 1 stopping this whole time!
Lando 2nd stop = lap 46/63 hard to hard (only because of the safety car)
If the full safety car (weird) had not come out and just a VSC then Piastri would have been screwed by McLaren strategy

Yeah and it wasn't like Piastri was actively fighting Max those first 10 laps so his tires probably wasn't used up yet.
I'm sure race control will spice it up with a safety car or two.
If I am not mistaken, I think they did implement a 2 stop rule for Monoco?
A case of coulda, shoulda, woulda, that is best left to the boffins on the Pitwall to calculate
They did...

Turn 2 made the race win for Max. I don't know if he would have been able to pass Oscar after sitting in his dirty air for the first medium stint. The safety car restart was also pure perfection. Driver of the day needs to have made little to no mistakes while also the biggest gains - Max ticked both of those boxes. Albon admitted he should have taken a bit more time trying to get by Leclerc - if he had, he would have finished 4th (Lewis would not have got him) so he never maximised the potential. Max did.
