Charles saying setup was not great for hard tyres.

I thought Piastri outfoxed Charles. I don't understand why Charles didn't close the door on him on Lap 20, at turn 1.
This is in a way true but there are clean and dirty overtakes and what Piastri did could be seen as a dirty overtake from what I remember. Maybe have to look at it again, but from wat I had seen, he just brakes very late and gave Charles no chance to turn in. Not even mad anout it. Charles should have done the same to Piastri. He knows how it works because we saw him do it to Perez.
Edit: this does not mean I think Charles did good defending. He showed Piastri no intention of making a defense.
I've been critical of the team in the past, but we pitted 1 lap later, not 8 or 9. The leading Ferrari driver with six seasons worth of experience under his belt shouldn't be sleeping like this, especially when in the lead, end of story.
Charles admits his mistake to letting Oscar pass.....

If I'm generous I could call it six corner combinations. The chicanes are functionally one corner.
That being said ever since 2019 I haven't read much sense coming from your way so I'm not exactly surprised you don't understand the difference between Monza and Baku in terms of traction and lateral demand on tyres. Or that you don't understand that battery deployment works both in real life and in a simulator.
I can't wait until Charles destroys your hero next year, it's going to be very funny indeed.
Mclaren are now WCC title leaders in front of RedBull.
It's not how start but how you finish.
How on earth did we lose that race?!?!
I guess I am less disappointed than most people, lol, but I am glad to see we are fighting at the top.
I dont agree that it was 100% down to that single pass by Oscar because that would imply Oscar only can ever have 1 attempt in the entire race, which I dont think makes sense.
It may have been that he would have gotten past Charles 5-10 attempts later as well, we will never know
P2 in the bag but I don't know why this feels like a horrible race
Relax guys.
Ok it was a great move from Pia but i think it was due to the unexpected grearter top spedd from McL. Lec didnt unticipate that thats why he didnt try anything + i bet he was convinced that he coyld had the pace to re pass him later. It was a strange situation.
Again a great move from Pia and well earned, but not To the point to say that he schooled Lec. Let not have our feelings overcome us!!
Its very frustrating to praise a driver one day say things like he is one of the best ever, just to say the worst for him the very next day for no big reason !!!!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
1. Charles was having some 6.5 gap over Oscar, how on earth we lost that advantage.
2. Charles should have defended the move from Oscar. Not sure why he didn’t do.
This is what happens when you don’t do proper long runs in FP’s.
Great drive from Oscar …
Sadly Leclerc threw away a definite win today. He should have closed the door on Piastry and not act like a backmarker, I'm absolutely gutted.
Strange comments. I am a Ferrari fan but also a racing fan. I saw two magnificent very talented drivers fighting for almost 300 km. There can only be one winner and today it was Oscar. I would have been happier if it had been Charles. But both showed us what real racing is. Bravo to both.
You can run like the wind, but you'll never outrun the Prancing Horse
Where did the +6s lead disappear to at the end of the 1st stint?
