He is, but Merc usually manage to turn it up a notch when it matters in Q3
Not really true this season, Red Bull should have had 3/3 poles this season but mistakes cost them. Even in Portugal, Max's deleted time would have got him pole and he likely lost time going off track - link

Was just about to say the same, Red Bull have really closed the gap and I thing maybe slightly ahead of the Mercs this season.
Drivers really are the telling point, Lewis has the experience Max is still behind him in that respect.
 
Lewis set his fastest time on a used set, so has to start the race in them.
Strange one that, the set he used earlier in Q2 would have been better.
Really bizarre that. I don't see why they did that, unless it is a misreport by the commentary?

Or is the race likely to be a 2 stop and they want the option of fresher rubber at the end of the race?

When they say used he probably had like 1-2 laps on them, not enough to really make a difference.

On race pace it seems pretty even so far, think I saw Red Bull suggesting they were faster in the first stint in Portugal and Mercedes in the second stint, it's that close. In quali it seems to be Red Bull slightly ahead and with this circuit being dominated by the pole-sitter normally and Monaco next, that quali edge will be very useful.
 
What's he on about? He's like the second coming of Max, always blaming everything but himself.
To be honest I was struggling to pick up a lot of what he was saying because of his mask. Plus I think he was already regretting what he was saying before he said it so was stumbling a bit but basically saying his team is putting more into his teammates car I think.
