Is there a table with tyres left for each driver for the race? I haven't seen it.
Wet and slick tires available for each driver

1 medium tyre for RB and Merc vs 2 for McLaren is interesting. But when it's cold I think even used softs would be the best race tyre

Potential for a light shower about 50 minutes into the race according to this radar:

surprised nobody saved a new set of softs, but i guess they have a couple that would have only done one or two laps

Mercedes and Mclaren should split strategy. One car on softs. One car on mediums.

The Alpines and RBs might have a good scrap for getting into points with those fresh softs available if we get those drying conditions post the rain shower.

I think merc need to not fight each other to have any chance.

George has the lower downforce setup and will get past as soon as DRS is activated even if Lewis jumps him at the start. That bickering will just put Lando on their butts, if he isn't already there anyway.

Lewis has higher downforce setup which will protect the tyres more in the high speed and will be better setup for following through them. If they really are faster, they need to use the advantages of their setups to try and make some progress before thinking about fighting.

However I am yet to see where the McLarens late stage tyre management has been matched by the Mercs.

Agreed, a lot of talk naturally about the top 3 but Max probably would have had pole if it wasn't for the damage. Think it will be RUS-NOR-VER-HAM after the first couple of laps of squabbles.

You can visibly see the Merc’s faster in the slower corners than the RedBull.
