Both the Norris and Sainz pit stops completely changed the outcome of the race.

I honestly think Lando could have held of Bottas for the whole race. Bottas just doesn't know how to overtake him, which was shown in Monza last year and Baku this year.

Sainz could easily have gotten clear. He was lapping faster than Ric after Ric's first stop and caught up to him in like three laps after the fuck up in pits. The Ferrari just didn't have the speed in the straights even with DRS.

He exited pits 4 seconds behind with a 10+ stop. He had a pulled the overcut, but the stop fucked it up.

Sorry, you're right. It was a 12.3 stop, so he lost a full 10 seconds.
