But that is exactly what racing is. Does anyone really think an overtake is purely just about driving around another car without affecting it? Only Seb moans about such things, despite doing to others all the time!

Well, RBR certainly helped VES and screwed up RIC. Still, VES has not put a foot wrong!

Well I am gonna go out on a limp and say Ricciardo will try his best to find another team next year.

I feel sorry for RIC, though. It should have been his race, if they had put him on the same strategy.

We do not know that as Ferrari for sure would have used a different strategy also. Red Bull was spot on to split the strategies. It left Vettel in a "choosing is loosing" situation.

Max has just bossed Jos! "Max the boss" doesn't rhyme, sadly.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Credit to Verstappen for being so cold at the end of the race, but RAI pace was much better... overtaking there is a nightmare for Ferrari.

I don't understand VET strategy, in my opinion they changed too early the Softs. Sigh...

I ain't a hater, neither a fan, but I must say, team gave him the optimum strategy even if he was not the lead driver after the start. Don't mean to take anything away from Max but it is a reality, just as Max winning is a reality.
