Such a shame Hamilton messed up Q3 as he would have surely won this race. Really enjoyed this race wasn’t expecting it to be as good and not talking Mercedes just race in general. A safety car would have made thing more exciting. And to add at the end of this comment. People saying Hamilton is past it is just wrong this race proved that

Yea even his fastest in Q2 lap would have been enough to start P3 but he didnt get a clean run in. According to Shovlin, Lewis outperformed all their simulations

Impossible to say he would have won it.

This is based on the assumption that George drives the same race in that scenario, which he obviously would not.

His managing of his rubber towards the end made the pace differential look bigger than reality.

Yes, but if Lewis is behind him the whole race, his ability to manage his rubber goes away, and he has not yet shown that his tyre management is on Lewis' level while on the same tyre strategy.
