    Instead of constantly praising Lewis for winning in this Mercedes on what was the best strategy one should maybe remember that it is actually Max bringing the Red Bull in between those two Mercedes!
    Just watch today: loosing the start, not being able to overtake and still finishing third for Bottas whereas Perez was again nowhere... And I doubt it is because Bottas is a better driver. Makes Max´ performance even more impressive! If he only had one more set of yellows and he could have kept Lewis behind him the rest of the race....

    Yes Max is making the difference. If Perez had been in the mix Mercedes couldn't have used that strategy again.

    OTOH, red bull was competitive one a track that is historically a Mercedes walk in the park, so it boosts well for other tracks.

    Interesting stats...


    Laps led so far in 2021:

    Max Verstappen - 144 (57.4%)
    Lewis Hamilton - 75 (29.9%)
    Valtteri Bottas - 19 (7.6%)
    Sergo Perez - 13 (5.1%)

    Red Bull - 157 (62.5%)
    Mercedes - 94 (37.5%)


    Just proves that if perez isn't close enough to back up max, Mercedes can do whatever they like with strategy and win.

    More track time is good IMO.

    More qualy / racing and less practice is good.

    But I’m worried that the way it’s proposed is going to favour Mercede’s even more.
    The short sprint race (no pit stops etc.) will shorely just advantage whatever is the fastest car.

    I would have like to see some kind of reverse grid thing but not shaw how you would do it.

    A lot of them like to use older engines for practice to save the good engines for qualifying/racing ...... will this use up more good engine time ?

    I've come up with a better formula, engine 3 litres, no turbo, any configuration, box 3 metres long by 2 metres wide by 1 metres high ..... fit whatever you can inside those dimensions, use as much fuel as you like, any wings/weight but all must fit inside the box .... scrutineering ? We don't need no steenkin scrutineering :)

    You line up in the reverse grid of the previous race finishes

    There was a bit of a cry on news.com.au because they used Lando's car rather than Dan's :p

    Seriously, it's like your wife gives you 2 ties for xmas and then yells at you because you picked one over the other to wear to work :p
