I've said this for years but they need to switch the grid sides around the inside is definitely an advantage if you look at the starts everyone had

No. Committed to two stop (m/m)

Hamilton going for one stop?

They should let whoever’s on pole choose the side they prefer to start on, like they used to.

Mercedes strategy strikes again, had a nice 5 second gap to Max but they've blown it as always

Merc need to upgrade the CPUs in their race strat sim computers because why are they always a step behind what even the commentators and fans are saying.

And again their pit stops are woeful as usual.

Too many minds making a decision and you end up with a choice with no direction

Sacrificed about 9 seconds in exchange for 2 laps newer tyres. Wow what a mistake.
