Red bull bound to stay out?

This seems like a strange strategy.

100% gamble

[DiogoBrand]

I don't think this is the best call.

[InsaneX_Badger]

Seems way too early to pit. Damned if you do, damned if you don't though as they would have done the opposite.

Reasonable to think there will be another safety car at some point, plenty could still happen.

that was a very unsportsmanlike move from Bottas and Merc

[El Scorchio]

They are gambling on more safety cars. 40 laps on these tyres could be pushing it as well, although how many of those will be at race pace?!

[SchuMassa]

Shameful tactics from Mercedes and Bottas

[Marty_Y]

It's a long way to go on the hards, I wonder if they are thinking 2 stop.

[proteus]

Mercedes winning their races "on the track"....dirty tactics with Bottas...damn shame he is allowing them to be used like this...

[Restomaniac]

This is where they red flag this isn’t it.

What else to expect from the team that pretends to be saints but always plays snakes...

[dans79]

I think pitting early is the safe bet. If we get as many safety cars as expected, Max could be in for a lot of pain if he has to pit under safety car again in another 4 or 5 laps.

Depends how long we are behind the SC.
