We had no pace on the softs Charles wouldn't have caught Max even if he pit earlier. Charles ruined his race yesterday.

There are no more words left it's over.
Leclerc from lap 4, was faster than top 4 (all of them on softs) and he was doing low 1m46's before his pit stop. No doubt medium was the best race tyre, that's why I think Ferrari should've pitted Charles on lap 28 for hard tyres...they should've taken the risk.
Hard tyres would be consistent and durable but too slow. That's why no team uses it on any track.
Don't Blame FERRARI, Look at RB right now, they have Newey for the Chassis, Horner for the Strategy (4x Champion at their belt) look at them now (but not an engine manufacturer like us), they can only match up with us but not MERC, so MERC has the perfect secret formula its the FIA... its just only my opinion.
Renault, Haas, Alfa Romeo suffered from the same tyres. So do they have same suspension issues???
Don’t think so. It’s just tyres, doesn’t bode well on this track at that temp.
RB brought new suspension design for this race. It’s working for them. Shocked to see they were matching the leaders.
At this pace, I see them as a threat during summer. Upgrade spec from Honda too is massive
Exactly. Stability is what is needed, keep the current team and work hard. Mercedes has 100M$ budget over Ferrari, they can afford to spend so much because it is good plublicity for them as long as they win.
They will eventually move their focus to Formula-E and reduce spending on their massive F1 budget, until then not much can be done.
The sports will be better once they are gone since their very agressive spending and poaching strategy leaves very little chances to other teams.
Eeeeeeh.... they have Honda engine and still are almost beating us. I think I don't have to say more, do I?
But I still will. It was clear to see right when the unveiling of this years Ferrari was happening. Look at the cars. Look at the complexity of the cars. Look at the changes made to the cars from last year. Red Bull and Mercedes look totally different, they pushed their cars to the limits. Our car is basically the last years car with new front wing. Nothing special to look at. I thought during the pre-season tests, that maybe we have found something inside, but yeah... we didn't. And as we have probably the best engine (as we should have as we are the Ferrari and have the biggest budget in F1), the aero is probably at McLaren level or so. And what about the upgrades? It took us till this race to bring our fist updated, while the other two teams were bringing them to every race, even this one. It's our fault. No use to blame anybody else.

Would the white tire been a better choice when Leclerc still had a 13 seconds and pitted then?
Frankly, it’s inconceivable that the dinosaurs at the FIA still condone the use of several set of tires during the course of a GP. In this day and age of environmental awareness and new materials renaissance, the FIA turns a blind eye on tire suppliers that produce a compound that can’t be used competitively for 50 stinking laps. Shame on you FIA!
It doesn't bring me any joy to be right, but I called it before China.
And how many points does he get for that? Oh... none? Yay! He won Miss Congeniality! Yay! Who cares? I mean really? It's worthless.
Well, you don't see it now, but when they come on 1-2 in Abu Dhabi for the 21st time this season, maybe then?
Yes it would have! Better than what they did kept him out like a sitting duck hoping they would help vettel? Cmon pit him put the white tyre or hell even put him on another medium then pit him last 10 laps for the fastest lap point he would still have been under 25 seconds to bottas in the end with that strategy.
