I guess they just keep him going until his time starts to fall away. Take the risk.

Those tyres are hanging on pretty comfortably and Sainz went over 20 laps. Risky, risky. What decision do they make?

The hard part is, the longer they leave it, they almost have to push for 1 stop.

They will go longer late due to track wearing in and less fuel, but Lewis has a net 16 lap benefit in his tyres, would be so tough to hold him off late.

 

[Brocko]

RB pulled team orders very quickly there

 

[Sproj]

Pieman in, I would have risked it man.

 

[Brocko]

And Oscar pits. I think they had to... shit not a good pitstop

That's a bummer, they screwed up the stop, I would have gone long, win or go down trying.

 

[Brocko]

Let's see if Lewis gets on the back of Russell quickly or not. Will help us see if Oscar could have stayed out

 

[Sproj]

Well in fairness, if Russell chooses to do it with a win on the line, you can generally tell it is the wrong decision.

 

[Brocko]

Difference with Russell though is I don't think he was a legit chance of a win unless he did something different, so he wants to go the 1 stop.

 

[Sproj]

Pieman under 2 seconds.

 

[Sproj]

PIeman smashing it here, 1.5 seconds.

 

[Sproj]

Hamilton to Russell is tumbling.

 

[Sproj]

Under 1 second. He has enough pace here to catch Hamilton.

 

[Brocko]

Hamilton to Russell is tumbling.

Yeah I think McLaren might have made the right call. We'll see

 

[Brocko]

As commentary just said, if Hamilton gets passed Russell he could keep George within DRS and really hold up the others

 

[Sproj]

Come on Oscar, get him and go.

 

[Brocko]

Man Oscar is flying

 

[Sproj]

Nuts. Surely Leclerc moved twice there.
