Red Bull using Gasly for a tow.
Yep, I wonder who made the call to get them to do it.

The irony of Gasly helping Max / RB.

Red Bull showing their true pace now. They've clearly been sandbagging up until now.
Massive tow for VER. With GAS and PER up ahead. Worked really well

Even with the best tow all weekend, Max is still a touch behind Lewis.

Kudos to RB / AT playing that well, but it’s clear the Merc has some pace.

I honestly thought Aston would be further up considering their package is similar to Merc’s. Mclaren we know is a slippery package.

Making use of a double tow from Gasly and Perez. No idea why Hamilton didn't make use of Bottas for a tow.

That Hamilton was quicker without a tow than the Max with one, is impressive.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Lol, more like a perfectly timed double tow for Max, and Merc not using the tow at all!

The tow isn't worth the deficit they just clawed back in Q3.

Exactly. They are .4s off I’d say. But it was what was needed to get ahead of the MCL35s

That just ensures Perez gets a decent time (which didn't work), the "double" tow doesn't benefit Max.

Yes it does. The man he is getting a tow from is a bit quicker on the straights because he himself is getting a tow.
