You can visibly see the Merc’s faster in the slower corners than the RedBull.
Yeah RB don't seem amazingly fast
It’s fast in the fast stuff, but not sure if it’s as balanced as the Merc’s and Mclaren’s rn

Yep, thinking you can just be fighting with cars ahead of you, with Max right behind you, was a poor calculation.

Like I said in the page before, fighting on lap one with a fast car behind you is just asking to be jumped.

Well, looked like a sitting duck as in Canada. Seems to me he prefers low starting pressure on the tire, the car was all over the place in the first lap. So may be benefiting tire life.
Don`t russel the hamster!

Tire pressures are all within tenths of each other. He tried to fight Lewis, who he doesn’t have much hope of racing with pace wise and opened a door to Max. He should have been racing rearward there and not forward for a pass that was never going to work.

Everyone is just managing. Nobody is using their tyres.

They’re all trying to nurse them anticipating changing to intermediates or rains. Can’t pit now and then pit 5 laps later
