When you cannot win on sheer performance, I guess it's not too wrong to hope for a bit of luck

I bet all my money that Pirelli will go for a harder option next week, like other times helping who??

It's clear that Mercedes are loading their front tyres more than the Red Bull, and with next race's tyres being one step softer, you know Mercedes will be more cautious with tyre management. A 2 stop strategy will probably be required, making strategy a major factor in the race. Red Bull need to make sure to get their's perfect and they might be on a good result.
That was Because Bottas pulled out of the fight with Hamilton and Max got stuck Behind him. Max kept him and himself alive. That is the matured Max.
Does next race have the same tire availability or different compounds?Revs84 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 17:14What happened today though does give a glimpse of hope for next race.

Going one step softer. I hope they DO NOT change the allocation and force people to two-stop insteadWaikeCU wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 17:52Does next race have the same tire availability or different compounds?Revs84 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 17:14What happened today though does give a glimpse of hope for next race.

On theory it's a softer selection than today. But we will seeWaikeCU wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 17:52Does next race have the same tire availability or different compounds?Revs84 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 17:14What happened today though does give a glimpse of hope for next race.

There's weather reports that we have a heatwave here in Belgium (which is not that far) starting next Wednesday. So that might carry onto next weekend.Marti_EF3 wrote: ↑02 Aug 2020, 17:58On theory it's a softer selection than today.

However, it turned out to be a necessary stop, says team boss Christian Horner immediately after the race. According to the Brit, there were small cuts in the tires of Verstappen that were removed from the car, so it had not been certain that the Limburger would be able to finish the race. "Disappointing to miss out on a win, but I think we would have signed up for this in advance."
