Mercedes and Mclaren should split strategy. One car on softs. One car on mediums.
I think merc need to not fight each other to have any chance.
George has the lower downforce setup and will get past as soon as DRS is activated even if Lewis jumps him at the start. That bickering will just put Lando on their butts, if he isn't already there anyway.
Lewis has higher downforce setup which will protect the tyres more in the high speed and will be better setup for following through them. If they really are faster, they need to use the advantages of their setups to try and make some progress before thinking about fighting.
However I am yet to see where the McLarens late stage tyre management has been matched by the Mercs.
