    Wouldn't mind seeing it go to Abu Dhabi, for the drama... But c'mon Lando

    Right stay calm Lando. If it finishes like this he is 22 points clear of Max going into the last race. And 12 clear of Piastri.

    he is still in the box seat.

    Why haven't McLaren stopped?

    Max will win now. Basically everyone went into the pits near enough so he has fresher tires and a pit stop out the way and will be right behind them

    Yeah I thought McLaren would have taken the cheap stop

    one thing that will happen now is Lando in traffic.

    Am struggling to understand the strategies with this mandatory 25 lap stop

    McLaren's need to stop by Lap 25... and then again after another 25 Laps
    Everyone else needs to stop by Lap 32, and then can run to the end?

    (Provided no further Safety Cars of course)

    If thats the case, then I don't see where the flexibility is...

    So everyone else just pits once and the McLarens have to pit twice? Sounds like a major fuck up, unless they think everyone else's tyres won't last...

    Fair play to McLaren (and Hulkenberg) for making this interesting

    The only thing that McLaren must be banking on now is everyone else nursing like hell to make the 25 laps, whereas they can push push push and each stint is only 18 or 19 laps, but a whole pit stop to make up is a mammoth task without another safety car

    Yeaaa going by Brundle's explanation, McLaren have screwed up, as they're going to get stuck in traffic
