Merc going for 1 stop?
F1 2021 Season

No point in them pitting under normal conditions now I don’t think. Feels like they’re just praying for a safety car.
RB feel like the superior team this year in terms of strategy
Fantastic strategy by RB so far.
Verstappen 2 seconds quicker a lap than Lewis. Can only see this going one way.
Really poor from Mercedes. Making the same mistake twice.
Seems like Mercedes have had their pants pulled down by RB at this point. There seems to be no way Hamilton will enough tire life after following Max for those laps after the pits.
as it stand now, Lewis pits and its a RB 1-2
Lewis not much choice now.
Lewis not much choice now.
They have yet again been out thought by RB.
It's awful thinking by Mercedes. Didnt learn from being undercut the first time.
Ferrari getting overtake for fun there.
When it’s this close Mercedes have to stop thinking like a two car team and play with the lead car (even if that’s Bottas).
They will lose to RB most Sunday’s if they don’t.

Great engineers, poor strategists.
Are Ferrari not changing tires? They're a sitting duck out there
This looks like it is now Max's to lose. Only way I can see Hamilton winning is if Max's tyres start to drop of quickly
What's that mess in the Merc pit
I thought the gap would close faster considering the speed max has been going at
Looks like both Max and Lewis are having radio issues
How are they still talking about Merc pitting again? Surely they’re now just waiting for either a safety car, or hoping Max’s wheels fall off.
It feels like the Merc’s are sitting ducks though at the minute. Lewis took so much out of his tyres following Max so closely for so long

Reckon Lewis will hold out for the win
could be something to do with the airport at the track edges.
Bottas getting his excuses in already
Bottas needs to do a massive job for Merc and keep max behind him
no chance Lewis can hold of Max for 12 laps.
Leclerc being lapped OH DEAR
Leclerc being lapped OH DEAR
Yup, me too. Lewis has this I reckon.
The commentators bigging up the finale, but no way the RBs don't get past.
Lewis is really going to need Bottas to do him a favour and hold Max up here. I think Bottas will be a sitting duck though.
He won’t, he never does, the white flag will be out fully by the time Max gets there
I know the commentators are trying to build the excitement but Max passing feels inevitable. Hamilton’s tyres are completely gone.
Yeah I was about to say that. Mercedes will finish 3rd and 4th.
Commercial break when Max was within hitting distance of Bottas. Wtf
Iam going RB 1 and 2
Lewis 3rd
Lewis 3rd
Mercedes keep telling themselves Verstappen is struggling on the mediums to make themselves feel better.
If Max can't overtake him by lap 45, Bottas will have done his job.
But just as I say that
Bottas is useless.
He really is absolutely useless
Bottas is a joke
Bottas
:Lol, did not hold him long
Lewis 2nd you mean? If so, I agree
Haha so predictable, he is useless, didn’t even hold him up one lap.
