It's nearly time for lights out!

Will Lewis be able to fend of Max? Can the McLarens move forward? Will the Alfas manage to stay high up the order, and can Danny Ric score points on his return to Formula 1?

Piastri is so impressive. One to watch out for. McLaren can let Lando go and still have a top driver now

I'd be starting to think about picking up Piastri over Norris at this point. It's his rookie year and he's on a very similar race pace as Norris, maybe not got the ultimate quali pace yet. Norris took over a year to look this close to Sainz, and never consistantly beat him. He's only going to get better and the McLaren is notoriously unbalanced so he can handle an imperfect car. He's probably cheaper and not on as long a contract. Norris is still the better of the two at the moment but I wonder if he will be for long.

What happened regarding the first pit stop though? Piastri's stop was faster than Norris', but this Norris managed to undercut him. Are they on different strategies?

Undercutting your own teammate is bound to raise questions. Hopefully we get answers after the race.

Also a slow stop for Piastri. He's being robbed of a podium for a second time.

Afterwards he was pretty off the pace He was consistently slower than Noris. At first I thought he just had slow targets, maybe he had tire management issues, I have no idea.
