The Philosophy.
Overall Merc and Ham had the better race pace and they made the right call on strategy today.

I may be a bit of a layman, but it seems Max is faster than Hamilton if they both have good tires. Why didnt he just pit earlier. What am I missing?

Max is driver of the day for me though Lewis was fantastic as well. Bad call from Red Bull screwed Max in the end.

Shame for Max, Mercedes just won it on strategy.

Nice to finally have the two best drivers and best wheel to wheel racers on the track actually racing for a bit though.

Little advice for young Max - never get Lewis motivated..... keep your thoughts to yourself:)

Redbull missed the window to counter it. Max would have ended up behind Lewis, so they hesitated and in the end made the wrong choice

Red Bull fecked up, brilliant by Mercedes on that gamble.

They should have pitted and trusted Max to do his thing but instead they delayed the inevitable and ruined Max's race.

??? no credit for making up 20+ seconds , yes the strategy gave him the chance , but FFS give the man some credit!!
Just when you think that he cannot get any better then he goes and does that.
Proper racer. Just born to do it.
