2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina, Dec 10 - 12

Not sure what RedBull can try here strategy wise. Any ideas?

Obvious to everyone but the deluded folks at RB.

Meanwhile Bottas already a put stop behind, typical.

[jurinius]

If it was Lewis some will have said "poor start" as usual but I've said Merc drivers have stellar starts since 4 races and they did that again. Now lets go for the strategy Merc have the upper hand, no rush.

[Roo]

Divebomb racing.. the BBC saying the MV stayed on the track.. they ignore whether it's okay to force LH off.

[cooken]

Max hemorrhaging time now, tyres are shot.

I think we are seeing what happened from race pace from Mercedes onwards from Brazil

No way..... ---. Mercedes still sulerior, even on straigths. And harder tires...... only safety car may help. Let tsunoda crash

Just Lewis did the same last week without consequence when Max was overtaking him. It's not the incident, it's the lack of consistency.

[ENGINE TUNER]

Max's driving style screwed him over there, and Lewis seems to have used it against him too.

If Max had the ability to race side by side with another driver, he'd have left a cars width, had the better line out of the chicane and race side by side to the end of the next straight with a car that's faster on the straight.

Max screwed himself.

All VER had to do was leave enough space for HAM to keep at least 1 wheel on the white line and he didn't do that. Total divebomb. Glad the stewards didn't fall for that nonsense.

I’d say commit to 2 stop and just fly!!! I don’t think he has any new Med/Soft but they have to bank on Lewis being on the back foot later on

[jurinius]

Bottas just have to manage and focus on Tsunoda. The guys will go for stop.

[oT v1]

Merc noooooo

[GrizzleBoy]

Max screwed himself with his own aggressiveness.

If he left space on track, Lewis would have an extremely compromised line into the next straight.

However, his blocking of the track gave Lewis a reason to do what he did and the stewards agreed.

Edit: Max low downforce setup not working in the twisty bits it looks like.

Which car is quicker on the white tyre? That's the question.
