Windsor and the media worrying about something that probably doesn’t even unfold during this regulation.

As a Merc fan, the only problem I’m concerned about, is the car, and whether or not the team are able to produce a car, capable of challenging Max. Everything else, is rather pointless.

Clean start and a double podium tonight?

Disappointing by Lewis. The side-effect of age and a vegan diet.
A statement like that ^^ needs some kind of reference frame. Otherwise it is just randomly ‘ist’ on two counts and will be deleted.

The part about Lewis v George is starting at 31:15
I must say Windsor' points are pretty convincing

Meh. From the perspective of only supporting Lewis, of course you'd prefer to have a guy like Bottas. From the perspective of Mercedes, promoting GR was a no-brainer. Leaving him at Williams indefinitely would not only have been detrimental to his development, it would almost certainly have meant losing him to another team. By promoting him you get two quality drivers and less headaches regarding the long term succession after Lewis.

That's an old video from Windsor. He's not exactly telling us anything we could not determine ourselves. Hamilton wants his 8th. George wants his 1st. They will fight. They will have to sort the car first, before any of it even matters.

18 lap maximum stint.

That means Lewis will have to use the soft tyre for 10 laps, if he wants to avoid a four stop

10 laps is more than doable. Track will be in better condition than yesterday

He will have to run the soft twice if my calculations are correct.

New Hard, medium and soft takes him to lap 54. then will have to pit for a extra soft to finish.

18 on hard...18 on medium...10 on soft...11 on the seven lap old medium he still has. Thats the only way to 57 that could sort of work.

And also, he and george shouldnt start on the same tyre because it will be a mess during the pit stops

Hamilton can do

18(h), 18(M), 13(M), 10(M), that's a 2 lap buffer. The teem can decide to mix in softs if they want.

Seems like neither Mercedes nor Ferrari want WCC P2...
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Well he can do nothing now.
I think this is a case of both Lewis and Russel misreading each other.
Russel was tucked in behind max and lost out, but did not want to give in to Lewis on the outside. He could have backed out. Hamilton was ahead, but may have thought Russel backed out.
Russel moved twice in and out, and therefore may have given Lewis the impression he was behind Max.
For Sure!!

I guess team meetings before a race dont happen.

One on the soft, one on the medium. Two on the rocks for brains
