Where was this from Danny the whole year?
He is on softs against old hards
Fair enough, the cock up was putting hards on in the first place.
Penny finally dropped for Hamilton, as if Perez hanging onto his gearbox wasn’t obvious enough.
Yep - medium/medium/soft was clearly the better strategy. Given the softer compounds were obviously able to go longer than expected given the first stint, committing to the 1 stop seems a poor decision for Merc.
Fully expected both Mercs to go long on the mediums and then put on the softs.
Alonso out dead engine
VSC
VSC
Horror season for Alonso
Mercedes to gamble and fit the softs ?
Such an unlucky goat
Why did Russell not pit then!
RusselThe FIA needs to take a leaf out of the Indy Car playbook sometimes. The season is over, it’s all for fun, stick a full SC out.
Personally think that even a two stop with med/med/soft would be better than the one stop on med/hard. That hard tyre is seemingly the death knell of competitiveness.
Alpine have really fcked up Alonso this season. Glad it's coming to an end.
Think he was told not too.
Mercedes still seem to struggle with such calls compared to a team like Red Bull.
Finally dropped? Russell and Hamilton have both said the hards have been shit from the second they went on.
Russell is such a bitch.
He thought medium would drop off, his team kept telling him it would and everyone viewing knew it wouldn’t
Merc strategy team need to fix up as well, always seems to be a disagreement between the pit wall and drivers.
Is he trying to fake a reason for a pit stop?
I'm not Hamilton fan but I think it was the team saying that, I can't recall Hamilton making those comments.
Is he trying to fake a reason for a pit stop?
His team is so bad he’s trying to fake issues to get his way, amazing.
Merc should have pitted Russell as soon as Ric showed some pace.
those mediums will fall off any minute now.
Mercedes strategy this season has been shocking.
Who ever thought the hards was a good idea, needs to be had a word with.

Looking at Ricciardo's pace, Medium + Soft was the way to go
He can only act on what his team tells him, Merc made a bad call but they haven’t told their drivers basically.
Half the grid voluntarily putting on a known dead tyre. Dumb dumbs
a few of the other midtable teams did the same.
Yeah I don’t get the Merc strategy. The whole advantage of being on mediums was lost when they bizarrely pitted in a rush.
It was obvious it was going to be a quick vsc. Could have made late call
Did he actually think that? He kept being told it I doubt he actually believed it considering he kept moaning about how shit they were.
Max could drive back to Milton Keynes on those mediums.
Spare a thought for Ferrari, nailed the strategy and the pit stop but forgot to turn the engine on
Ricardo has done well to open up a 10+sec lead
You know there are only 3 min left .
Worked out nicely for Ricciardo, looks like he will hold onto 7th
