Max worried about the undercut ?? Lewis just has to follow Max into the pit ? Go toe to toe. No messing with the strategies now.
F1 2021 Season

Mercedes got it right with the undercut, but this Merc hates the dirty air.
Yeah its Austin all over again. The dirty air gives Max just enough protection.
Still time for an undercut this time, though
Bottas shits his pants all race and gets rewarded with a free stop to put him back on the pode
God loves a turd.
Hamilton can get the undercut still.
Come on Lewis!
Come on Lewis!
Could they go one stop on the hard tyres?
If they pit again
Just to mention that Honda have done a fantastic job on the RB engine, in their last season in F1.
It is going to be interesting to see how RB do when they have taken over the engine development themselves. Something else to deal with.

Pirelli suggested this is a two stop race (faster) so I'm expecting another stop and some teams have already committed to that.
Max pitting
Verstappen boxing, new set of hards
Bizarre radio comm between Lewis and box. What tires would you prefer
Can Lewis get far enough in front for a free pit?
Mercedes pitting Bottas not Lewis
It's a pretty common discussion between engineer & driver.
No fecking about by Redbull there.
I guess Lewis stays outs another 10 laps or so goes on much fresher tyres and goes on the hunt.

Perez will 1 stop no wonder Bottas is questioning that

Am I crazy in thinking why wouldn't you follow Max into the pits ? Match the strategies
Nope
Lewis pits
This is going to be a very good end to the race.
I see the only problem for Lewis being the dirty air

I don’t get why Mercedes have done this
Just has.
Bottas stirring some shit
I cant imagine them pits would have changed much. At Hamilton will just get stuck in dirty air again.
I'm baffled. Why only go a lap or two extra than Max. He should have bit the bullet before Max to get the undercut or go extra long on the previous stint, or go toe to toe with Red Bull in the pits.
Red Bull played that all very well, granted they had to make the aggressive decision. But they made it, fair play.
How does Bottas figure they'd get an easy 1-2?
The tyre deg was v high on the mediums, Merc maybe should have pitted before Max, but think he caught them unaware
Only way Bottas is part of a 1-2 is a Max DNF
by finishing ahead of all the other cars.
He thinks they should have 1 stopped I think.
Track position, but that would have meant pitting both Mercs ahead of Max.
Lewis really on the hunt now
Max forcing Lewis wide .
Penalty coming ?
Penalty coming ?
Surprise surprise Verstappen cheats
What do we think about that move?
ooooohh booooiiiii
