Missed a trick during that pit stop "phase"...only two extra points but still.

Also, its crazy how every year, you kind of forget how dull the race is
i like lewis' idea of making Monaco a mandatory 2 stop, you really do forget monaco is boring as all hell

They could by-pass that with the tyre allocation. Don't offer rubber capable of covering more than 70% of the race and keep the one mandatory stop. If they manage to get through with one stop, they will be tip-toing and encourage overtakes.
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.

That would also be a good solution, question is if perelli would be willing to make another/change compounds for tracks like this

Boxing to undercut someone then having a normal outlap? What is this? Lewis' first race? Rookie mistake.

Maybe he would have challenged Russel then Norris.
Merc is probably interested in not having Lewis beat Russel this year.
For Sure!!

How bizarre. Why would they give that instruction?

I mean he cannot trust them anymore why are they hidding information, or are they completly stupid ?

Not here to defend Lewis it's just weird vibe

I think Chris is joking? That one was on Bono but yea odd decision to pit before Max and just let him regain the same position

Shovlin confirmed Merc will have upgrades in Canada and Lewis will also have the new wing, obviously

I was mindblown when going onboard with Lewis and hearing Bono telling him to do a normal outlap and ”let the tyres come to him”, only to after half a lap tell to push. What is that? Why even pit then?

Canada is one of Lewis' strongest track historically, wonder how far they will be

Somethings going on bts. There communication is a damn joke and you can tell this team ain't backing Lewis. I can see the internal politics from here. Destabilise your most successful driver before going to the competition. smart tbh
“And that’s part of the game, is being able to be adaptive, and we’ve got this new car – I don’t know how it’s going to handle, hopefully she’s great.”
