I think Merc knows they suck here (and Monaco) but they’ll be happy with a podium knowing they go into the rest of the season on tracks that suit their car better.

We’re only 1/3 through the season, so plenty of time to figure it out.
I don’t think so. Yes they are relieved with their response after Friday and Saturday morning fp3. However I don’t think they came into this weekend thinking they’d struggle. They looked totally baffled
I disagree.

They’ve been stating my narrative for a few weeks now.

Glad to see Lance is okay, tire blowouts are never good.

If everyone is able to pit would this benefit Red Bull more as they have the set of mediums?

Safety car with the pit lane closed, should be a red flag in that case imagine a car get a puncture and cant pit

Nah no need for that. They’ll open the pit lane when they can. So far it’s been the right calls for once.

Struggling to switch the used hards on is going to be the key issue

So RedBull now have a problem.
Double stack and Hamilton gets position. Leave Perez out and it’s net the same.

The top ones won’t pit, there are not enough laps left for it to be of use.

There are some really big gaps in the field behind the safety car. Didn’t think that was allowed?

He should. Anyone controlling it has and at this level you expect it.

Wow, Vettel has an 8 lap tire advantage on Hamilton. Could be interesting
