I thought Merc had the winning strategy.

I thought Merc had the winning strategy.

Had they pitted earlier instead of letting Max doing fastest laps then they could have. I think they should not done a 2 stop. The tires weren’t wearing down that much and Lewis could have definitely gone to the end. He may have won or may have gotten 2nd place, which he did anyway.

Sure was a nail biter at the end. Would be nice if there were more drivers right at the top. It’s been the MaX and Lewis show long enough.

I hope the next years car makes it so that they can drive a lot closer to each other without burning off their tires.
Amazing turn out yesterday at the track, just amazing.

Lots of drama yesterday with Hamilton to the rear of the Quali race then working his was so far forward plus he has a grid penalty today for the power plant change. Bottas did a phenomenal job getting then staying out front.

[xeninworx]

Hamilton blasted through everyone. And that was just 24 laps.

[ZR]

Impressive.

[xeninworx]

So technically Hamilton moved up 25 spots.

[ZR]

Sure looks like officials dropped the ball on potential Max investigation today where he and Hamilton ended up off track.

[Uncle Buck]

Perhaps the FIA is backing off a bit after being so anal early in the year and hearing fan backlash.

Sure looked like a penalty for Max was justified from the camera angles I saw.

That merc sure was fast and completely compliant according to merc engineers. I wonder if any of them worked on the Volkswagen TDI. lol
