So dumb from Mercedes, bizzare thinking. Same from Ferrari, why not pit one!

Big opportunity for Ferrari and Merc and both fecked it as you’d expect
Hamilton moans when engineers tell him what to do then moans again when they let him make the choice 
Don't worry Lando you won the helmet gp
Why are Ferrari not pitting?
that fake Marina is just fecking mental
No idea but I will enjoy the memes after they finish P3 and P5
Mercedes and Ferrari strategy guys are really dumb. Le Clerc for example surely would have come out ahead of Sainz and Perez. Hamilton, not sure where he’d have come out but judging by where Russell is, surely should have pitted.
It's bizarre, with Le Clerc they may have been worried he comes out behind Sainz but he's down on power anyway so he would have been a sitting duck. I don't get it at all.
Ferrari and Merc are absolutely clueless.
Too late for any pits now, they had to call it immediately like RB did.
5 sec penalty for Alonso.
Can’t pit now. Opportunity was missed.
Perez, you mean
They would lose track position, not worth the risk.
How is he supposed to know if he should pit? He doesn’t know where everyone is behind him. He should have been pulled in instantly on softs. Mercedes feck up as per.Hamilton moans when engineers tell him what to do then moans again when they let him make the choice
Sorry, yep
why would you not pit with a free pit , does not make sense to me, but what do I know .
you sound just as clueless as the Merc engineersHamilton moans when engineers tell him what to do then moans again when they let him make the choice
You mean Perez and he wouldn’t have because Perez pitted, unless you mean Perez wouldn’t have pitted if Le Clerc did? If that’s the case I wouldn’t be worried at all because Le Clerc would have passed him easily.
James Vowels stealing a living at Mercedes, should rename him James Consonant as punishment.
thats what the strategists are for, is it not.Hamilton moans when engineers tell him what to do then moans again when they let him make the choice
the SC has made the last 10 or so laps more intresting.
If Leclerc had pitted, then I'm sure Perez wouldn't have done, but yeah he would have passed him easily. It's just a weird decision and I don't get the downside for Leclerc pitting in that situation.
No, Le Clerc at worst would drop behind Perez but only if Perez didn’t pit. And if Sainz didn’t pit he would have moved out of Le Clerc’s way. So that would at worst leave Le Clerc on fresh softs behind two red bulls on old hard tyres. So this is wrong.
Hamilton I’m less sure of where he would end up but judging by where Russell came out, he wouldn’t have most any.
Even the laps behind the SC are on par with the rest of the race
Safer car taking its own sweet time unlike that one day last season
There isn’t any downside. Really bonehead move. Honestly I don’t think any team has any sane people devising strategy except Red Bull.
Gonna be interesting to see how Ricardo and Ocon do.
No chance Lewis stays ahead of Russell. Weird strategy from Merc and him
Ocon on soft. Will be interesting.
It’s the right call, the Ferrari is in no way superior to Red Bull today so being behind Perez is a dumb move on a circuit that is difficult to overtake.
Hamilton would have come out between Schumacher or Ocon.
I hope by mental you mean ridiculous
this is just wrong. Sorry but totally rubbish.Well defended by Sainz
CLC has no killer instinct
oh yes , that just what I mean, who thought that was a good idea
They’re talking nonsense about Perez. He’s down on power he won’t be able to pass without DRS
Get those Schumacher shoulders out Mick
Perez looking good for 3rd
Russell going to take Lewis
Bottas in front Lewis and staying there is priceless
