That’s a good point Mercedes could go this race with only one stop.

Yeah but when is the last time Merc got the strategy spot on?
Good restart
Max already nearly a second
Max already nearly a second
Yeah good point
Would expect both Mercedes to lose places at first.
Pretty tight race so far everything considered. Strategy could make all the difference the way it's been going.
Big undercut going on
Lewis saying his tyres are already dead
maybe not the right choice
maybe not the right choice
Lewis not happy but he never is , but clearly he thinks this hard hard strategy is not working
Toto probably regretting going to Japan after all.
Charles continue to make random errors. Lewis is gonna kill any believe he has left in himself bc Lewis does not make those same mistakes.
The reality is Ferrari is going to mentally break him, which do you want plan A or Z
So both Mercedes ditched one stop and pitted for mediums
Excellent call!
Pretty impressive from Leclerc here. Just about the only excitement in the race.
Good point.
Did not seem so and a slowish pit stop.
Mercedes one stop strategy, misses the mark by a long way
Leclerc driver of the day IMHO
Yup - what’s happened to this team - crazy! Can’t blame Lewis for switching. Ferrari seem to be the only team remotely challenging RB.Mercedes one stop strategy, misses the mark by a long way
I’m
The one stop hard hard was worth a shout, but both Mercedes now on new mediums look better.
Russell divebomb on Piastri
That’s was better but a mistake let Russell though
Not a dreadful race, but not a classic
Easy 1/2 for Red Bull
Easy 1/2 for Red Bull
Great result for Tsunoda
Great drive be Leclerc. Annoyed by Piastri’s mistake, he was 7th in my Superbru!
9 out of the top 10 correct, but only 2 in the right place
Happy Leclerc getting driver of day. Merc‘s strategy cost them a couple of places I think.
Yeah for sure
9/10 as well.9 out of the top 10 correct, but only 2 in the right place
But exact podium + Leclerc correct!
Agree with this
Nice, I had Sainz and Leclerc the wrong way round
Crazy that even commentators hardly talk about RB and 1/2 spots. They focus on the more exciting second race behind RB. When will we see a true fight for the win again?
Shanghai next and it’s a sprint weekend.

Sorry, I'm playing the Superbru thing for the first time this season. Do we also predict the sprint or just the quali and the main race as always?
Thought I'd done well with 17 super bru points - clearly not!!
Decent race, finally some excitement with strategies, I guess rain in practices can make it more interesting because they didn't do a proper test of dry tires.
Just qualifying
McLaren really fecked it up by pitting Norris at same time as Leclerc. Had the potential to fight for a better spot but threw it away

McLarens were no where near Ferrari's pace this weekend, 5th was the best they could hope for with Norris. McLaren just can't compete with Ferrari or Red Bull on tyre degradation.
