I like the idea of that, did any of the teams get to try the hard in FP2? That has been the only representative practice session over the weekend.

Only Alfa Romeo would've been able to as everyone else has kept 2 sets for the race - similar to Vegas. It must be the clear best tyre for race

I think Ferrari and alpha tauri. Tsunoda might not fall back very far if their pace is similar to Mexico/Brazil. He only needs P6 right?

I think that this Pirelli tyre strategy prediction is based on the hotter track temps that`ll be during the race time that impose using the harder M and H tyre compounds which have a higher operation window ... but actually, the ideal/faster strategy would have been an S-M-S 2-stops, isn`t it?

Besides the time he lost at T1, I think he left a little bit of time at turn 9 and a little bit at the exit of the final corner with that small correction. Could have been pole if the lap was perfect, but still a superb lap.

I doubt it, available compounds were the same last year, and only very few used the Softs (Gasly in the beginning, Zhou and Tsunoda in the end)

RB
Ferrari
Merc
Mclaren
AMR
Williams
AT
Alfa
Haas

I think AT will finish in the points, but the chances of getting 7/8 points is just one race too late I think.

Charles will take the Ferrari title by himself vs George.

Man if LEC pushed Max wider at that chicane they crash. Switch places and Max would have pushed LEC way deeper. Max has the mental edge over everyone now. I hate it for the type of racing it brings but he is a winner.

I think Charles is racing today with WCC in mind. Had he went deep on the braking, he would compromised his line, Max could eventually repass him and he could drop in the clutches od maccas

This track lost its technicality and is still impossible to overtake. And Perez needs to retire. It's like he doesn't give a sh*t

Mercedes not changing the wing of Lewis will likely prove a mistake.
