Mercedes blew it. After getting burned on the undercut they passed up a chance to do the same to RB. Hamilton was just a sitting duck out there on old tires.
Bottas must be really pissed, he told his engineer this was going to happen. Maybe Merc should listen to their drivers a bit more. Mercedes can't make these mistakes if the are going to beat RB this year.
I think they maximized Hamilton’s points (2nd). If they stopped Bottas twice, he had a good chance of beating Hamilton. If they pitted them both twice, Max probably would’ve been in the lead anyway, as they pitted 1st.
Stroll done good, the team done good. Great day for McLaren as the best of the rest. Looks like Ricciardo, Vettel and Alonso are getting to grips with their new cars and staring to show their old form.
This is going to be the most interesting year since Nico retired.
I was super stoked for Lance. Great drive. They din’t show any of his passes on TV, but he had to do a lot of on-track passing to get up there.
Ferrari did poorly…. They sure are suited to a very particular type of track! From poll position to the bottom in 1 race!
I sure like Nico as one of the talking-heads…. He’s great. I always cheered for him when he drove.
