mercedes strategists are so lucky that ferrari exist.
You kidding? A buffer have them a chance to win!
Russell 2nd
Merc need to swap the cars come on be clever
Yeah no. You’re talking bollocks. He’s been hung out to dry.
Lewis is right. He's been fecked by his own team.
Russell played his own cards right
Lewis is fuming
That RB would have blasted by both on the straight
Merc doing their best to be Ferrari
Hamilton angry 
Idiots, but as if the first tsunoda stop wasnt bs anyway then the delayed safety car when max was in the pits. Lewis had no chance with everything against him like that. Hoping max puts his car in the barrier
Will be fun when Russell does Hamilton

if they had to pit why they didnt double stack under SC
Most likely yes but they didn’t even try.
So dumb from Merc.
Isn't that just true. They made numerous suspect calls last year and when you're dealing with exceptional strategists like Red Bull, you have to be better
True
Merc have completely screwed Hamilton here, but the Red Bull is so much faster the race was done as soon as Max was given softs.
Not totally Russell said he wanted softs and they said yes they should have put Lewis on softs.
Do you genuinely think there was a chance of a Mercedes win when that safety car was coming out? The Red Bull is a rocket, and new boots strapped to it is game over. The only chance of a Mercedes win was on tyre strategy and degradation. Safety car nullifies all of that and puts the race back to neutral. They aren't quick enough, regardless of whatever tyre is put on.
Verstappen is like Haaland. Completely unstoppable.
The calls to suggest Lewis should have himself come on softs are stupid because Lewis would be faster but he’d have never overtaken Max.
The call for softs for Russell is the right one, for Russe purely.
If Merc wanted any chance to win this race, they had to keep both cars on mediums and work as a team. So as a team, it’s a dumb ass call.

Was never about the Red Bull. They weren't going to beat Max but they could have had an easy 2-3 if they put Hamilton on softs but now Hamilton doesn't have a chance against Leclerc. Shocking from Mercedes, threw Hamilton under the bus
what i like is that people in this thread, who spend most of the grand prix eating jam from a jar with their fist, saw this coming but somehow mercedes didn’t.
Please, his car is super quick, we saw what happens when he's got real competition last year.
Even with the buffer, they wouldn’t have stopped Max.
Russell took the decision into his own hand and made the right call
Hamilton could have done the same
Leclerc passing him is proof of this

I hate that the TV director knows Hamilton's Physio, we don't need to cut to her reactions about 5 times a weekend
Its damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t but pitting Russell just handed it on a plate to Max. It’s just bizzare from Mercedes, all they should be aiming for is a chance to win and they gave it up.
The call was leave out both to try and win. Or pit both. Those were their only options. What they did was throw away a guaranteed 2nd and 3rd with zero chance of an improbable win. It was bullshit.
Cracking race from Alonso!
Am I right in saying Russell is pretty quick on making correct calls or is this just an outlier?
Perez on old mediums catching Sainz?
So many times I've screamed wtf are you doing with the Merc strategies and I think my first one like that was Monaco in 2016 when they pitted Hamilton a few laps before the end of the race.
That cost Hamilton a championship
I just want to check, is there still as asterisk on Max for this championship?
russell showing again how rubbish hamilton is by finishing ahead of him.
This is so brain dead from Merc, the more I think about it.
yes. he is only winning it as he’s the fastest driver in the fastest car.
