Vettel desperately trying not to throw the team under the bus, but everyone knows they cocked up the tire and pit strategy today. I just hope they fight until the end instead of all of the stumbling around. They did a brilliant job of developing a title contender but have problems managing the races. They can no longer think of themselves as the team to beat and must battle more intelligently. This should have been an exciting fight for a 5th WDC at this point in the season between Lewis and Seb. Somehow Vet and Ferrari have lost their way.
We just didn't have the speed. The strategy was a desperate movement that didn't work, but they tried. I hope that this race didn't set the trend for the rest of the season and at least we can put a fight.
Arise Sir Lewis. 5 time WDC. Ferrari - look, it isn’t hard. Just fire yhe entire waste of time strategy team and bring in some people that know what they are doing. And, whilst you’re at it, learn to speak English. Just sooo disappointed.
Post of the day. Mercedes appear to show up to win and make a concerted and strategic effort to do so. I have zero idea now how Ferrari approach things. Mercedes appear to be much more deliberate and systematic. They have responded to the 'fastest' car by doing more work to counter it and develop to match and over-come a deficit. Impressive and I hate to admit that.
If I were Arrivabene & Camilleri I would offer HAM a contract for 2020. Vettel is very mentally weak.
Many many times have we seen Elton crumble like cardboard in the rain. Why mentally he seems to have the upper hand right now is up for debate.

Certainly a 'fair' question. Could he be doing or have done some work to gain and keep a mental perspective to counter the previous issues? Certainly a success breeds success status helps and he does not battle with Nico and seems to work well with Bottas and the team at large are not 'folding' either.....
He dumped the *****cat Doll and everything improved. Even while doing all of his brand-building stuff outside of F1, he’s getting the job done on the track. Obviously, “seasoning” has helped too. His approach to the back-marker battled showed patience that didn’t exist in the earlier part of his career.
True. Not an easy day at all in that situation. The element of caution vs aggression is not an easy balance at times for any of them.
We have seen earlier this season when Vowles had to openly apologize over team radio to keep Lewis racing how well he gained mentally. [emoji6] Let him deal with Ferraris strategy weak after week and I doubt that he would do any better than Seb. I still doubt that there is much in between Seb and Lewis but obviously the surrounding is very different and might even be more important than whether the car is faster for a tenth or not Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
Ultimately and put the most simply. I feel it is down to the teams. Mercedes have almost consistently with maybe an exception or two given Elton the best strategies. Ferrari on the other hand have done the exact opposite. Mercedes little by little shoring up and building Elton’s confidence which is met with Ferrari slowly and steadily eroding and undermining Vettel’s confidence in the team to the point of internal emotional turmoil which then manifests in silly driving errors and unusual outbursts.
True- Environment matters as does not making some mistakes that are badly timed. I dont think LH is the strongest mentally but he appears at this point to be a better decision maker and is keeping Mercedes 'in play' by being the smarter driver right now.
I think mistyping the first "week" into "weak" might have been Freud... Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
