McLaren with the suboptimal strategy have caught back up to the gap to the lead at end of stint 1, including losing 2s in the pits. Tells all

I think George will come back at Lewis in the last few laps.

Look at Max and Perez. We just dont know. One of the engineers were saying the RB still looks a bit more controlled. It is nip and tuck

we'll see, Bono told Lewis to go into tire management right after he passed Russell so he's got more pace than he's showing

Ferrari defeated by Mercedes. Wondering if Lewis made the right decision for the future? Lol

Max controlling the race. I am not fooled.

George needs to learn to manage tires

Carlos needs to learn to sell as much gear and be as popular as Lewis.

Pro racing is a for profit business. No one just gets handed anything.

It finally makes sense to me why RB is keeping Perez for two more years. He will be allowed to retire amicably to be a very important RedBull ambassador for the Americas.

We over think stuff way too much, commentators have to make it interesting and say β€œawww it could be so close if the strategy was different” is just talk.

Watch the race: RB out front able to manage the race, pit at their ideal times, calculate landos finishing time and give their driver a delta. Would have been less than ideal if the start was different but the winning car is the faster car here guys.
