    Disaster car and dumb strategy to not equalise the laps on the hard stints.

    That McLaren is very suspect. Ordinary pace for most of the race and then they seem to be a second a lap faster magically then the others. That's not fuel being burned off either

    It's like a course to lose pace from 1 race to another or in the same race and the same tire ??!!!!
    Up toll the last pit stop we where on par we the others and suddenly we are now where???!!!!

    Wrong strategy by Ferrari. Very short middle stint by leclerc. Now he’s vulnerable to everyone behind him.

    When do this Ferrari pit wall learn?

    The Merc and the McLaren of Piastri had zero tyre wears.

    Good effort from Charles. "Pace was disappointing today", yup.

    Credit to Russell. That's genuinely one of the best tyre management defensive drives in F1 history. That many laps around Spa without the tyres falling off the cliff is unbelieveable. McLaren lost this by pitting Piastri, easy win if they had one-stopped.

    Wow Mercs……… 1-2 finish non one expected.

    This is how you turn avg weekend to fantastic. Ferrari will never learn from this.

    Outside it’s clearly visible that late stop will give advantage with tyres. 12L stint on Hard tyres ridiculous….!!

    Russell on 30 laps old Hards still lapping faster than Leclerc's 20 laps old Hards, that's disaster

    I also thought it was the wrong strategy, but then both Piastri and Russell started doing personal bests, which showed how much both of them were holding back.
    Hamilton also literally had zero tyre wear.

    Russell did that with 30 plus lap old hard tires and a 1 stop. Hamilton did a 2 stop and Hamiltons tires were half way newer. Amazing by Russell.
    It's not how start but how you finish.

    Did they give Sainz eight laps or something on the mediums? Comedy. Should've just taken the hards for him to lap 25 and give it a go at that point.

    I guess Leclerc had 1 set of new mediums available? If yes, he could have gone to it for the last 14Laps than on Hard tyres

    It was not about strategy.
    It was about pace and tire degradation.
    We where in the limit on par with the others but in the end we where losing pace. And the last stint is a mystery, we completely lost the pace.
    But in the end we expected it and it was a miracle that we could keep up with them in the 2/3 of the race.
    There some rumors that we might have found some solutions and after the summer break we gradually till Singapore could find some pace .
    Let's see!!!

    Not even getting P2 with the fastest car by a few tenths per lap. The orange Ferrari of this decade

    If he didn't run way too hard into the pit stall he'd be in a position to force Toto's hand with team orders as well. Lost it by less than that time.

    After couple of laps Piastri tyres were off, hence he was asked to pit.

    My point is Lap 23 I guess, leclerc was asked to pit which is 12L stint on Hards. Then the same ferrari expecting 21L final stint on Hards?? Where is the comparison?

    I don't know what Mercedes did with the front end of their car, but those upgrades have transformed them.
    Who would've thought that a new front wing and front suspension can make the car from barely touching the top 3 positions to a multiple race winning machine.
    Ferrari on the other hand keeps bringing different iteration of the floor.
    Tells you which team is doing it right and which one is lost.

    It’s becoming same story since years. Leclerc on pole & not able to win.

    This British media troll leclerc than others. They don’t even utter a word now on McLaren which has fastest car but still not able to win the races.
