This team has some kind of brain damage!

Hamilton leads the whole grand priz! Alright let’s hand this win to Russell…

What a joke…
Hand the win? George fought really hard for it. Amazing drive

I'm just surprised how quick Merc were today, nowhere and slow as hell in practice and then faster than everyone in the race

They have a great race car. Hamilton getting the worse strategy because he was leading and they had to avoid the Leclerc undercut. congrats to George though. His race pace was great and to do a one stop was impressive.

The upgrades might have thrown them off balance and their "old" car perhaps secretly was one of the best here. Strategy played a part in it, but Merc was super fast today.

Was Hamilton told that Russell was 1 stopping? Because he asked about Piastri's times and not Russell's

This is why Hamilton is leaving!

Red Bull would have ordered Russell to move over and defend against Piastri!

Mercedes has always been undermining this guy! They can never put him No1…

George drove brilliantly. That said, he was in that position because that was the only way he could get a result from the race.

Hamilton had to do a 2-stopper to cover everyone else. Mercedes should have let Hamilton through. On a different day, it could have cost them. Hamilton qualified well, made the moves but ended up behind. Not fair in my opinion.

Lol, Lewis blaming the team. He's not a happy bunny.

I wouldn't be after losing out to my teammate behind while controlling the race for most of it

They got rid of the downgrades they ran on Friday. It's really bizarre how many teams are bringing updates and they actually go backwards. Perhaps the way to get the most of these cars at this stage is to fine tune the balance and not worry about adding downforce.

The sneak attack.

Incredible 1-2. Maybe the best 1-2 Mercedes have had since…seriously when? This was better than Brazil 2022, easily

His side of the garage were thinking about what was behind them…can’t really blame them for the strategy. In theory
