2023 United States Grand Prix - COTA, Oct 20 - 22

Why Merc are always losing track position... try this stupid offset strategy
They've learnt nothing

They keep forgetting they have the 3rd fastest car, not the 1st.

This should be Norris' race to win

Easy Max win unfortunately. Lando now committed to two, like Max

[Mogster]

Sunday afternoon drive for Max.

Lando will just move out of the way when Max comes close with no fight I suspect.

Given that Lewis has been gaining on Lando every single lap since the round of pit stops, he'd have probably been out in P1 a long time ago instead of now having to fight and use extra tires to try and get there from 8 seconds back.

Max win. Now it’s between ham/Lando for the other podium

Yep as expected.

[GrizzleBoy]

Lando didn't even fight.

Why is he commited to two?

[djones]

Lando didn't even fight.

It was like he was moving out the way for blue flags. He never fights his friend.

[LM10]

Lando didn't even fight.

He’s on a one stopper. No reason to fight and put stress on the tyres.

Edit: Ok, two stopper… didn’t expect that and surely not that early.

Max win. Now it’s between ham/Lando for the other podium

Don't count out Perez for p3, he's not far away.

[GrizzleBoy]

Verstappen is keeping Lando in DRS to fight Lewis

[matt_b]

If Mercedes didn't have the pace I can understand the strategy but Lewis was faster than everyone in that opening stint, there was no need to gamble.

Radio said take the life out the hard. McLaren want a short medium stint at the end, like Mercedes will
