2020 Tuscan Grand Prix - Mugello, September 11 - 13

[Schippke]

As a Ferrari fan, it's painful to see how much of a sitting duck they are on the straights this season. In saying that... it is what it is, with a car that was designed for more downforce (more drag) and a lot more power. Serves them right unfortunately.

Oh look there’s that preferential treatment that Bottas never gets.

[PlatinumZealot]

Hamilton preserved his tyres better and decides to stay out on the mediums.
Undercut is strong and bottas pits to brand new hards.

This is gonna be close.

HAMMERTIME!!

Lewis pits now. Hards!

[Just_a_fan]

Hmmm, Bottas getting pit stop priority even though Mercedes always give the leader priority...

[Racer X]

Nice and more preferential treatment with Lance too Bottas and Lance maybe a. P1 & P2? Just kidding Lance P4 with with upgrades.

Do you people never look at live timings screen??

It wasnt going to be close. Bottas' tyres were dead, he lost 8s in the lap before pitting, thats why they gave him an "undercut", which wasnt really an undercut, since they knew hamilton will come out miles ahead.

Seems like i put on a bad spell on Sainz jr.

Yup- no arguments there for anyone. Preferential strategy AND gave him what he wanted. Not Hamilton's fault that Bottas got dropped by him by 8 seconds, which gave him the luxury of seeing what Bottas did and being able to say in return 'just give me what you gave him.'

[PlatinumZealot]

Vettel shown a clean pair of heels by the Williams. Sigh.

Bottas might rue taking the life out his tyres so early in the stint. Fastest lap after fastest lap, but how long will the hard last if he keeps that up?

He just can't match the pace of his team mate without taking more life out of the tyres. We've seen it time after time.

You know, if your tyres are dead, they’re dead. Should they have let Bottas out and make him lose 1 second per lap for several more laps until Hamilton got in first?

More like 8s since thats how much he lost on the inlap.

No not at all, but you can put it on Bottas for not being able to look after his tyres sufficiently well then, can't you. He took away his own strategic options.

Traffic played a part in that gap, no?
