    That was an exciting few laps.
    What looked a great idea to give Max a chance at fastest lap cost him the win!!!!!

    So just another record for Hamilton, lowest number of wheels during a race win.

    I might have made that up.... But I think they did, because I was missing the trophy bots.

    Despite coming 2nd I assume Red Bull will be bitterly disappointed

    It might have secured them second since Max was having some similar issues. Who knows how it would have played out. Why Merc didn't play safe after Max pitted is a mystery though.

    They will be kicking themselves. But it's not often that a tyre goes on last lap, not unknown but unusual.

    If they had pitted then Max wouldn't as he would have seen Lewis pit. So then Lewis would have had to catch and pass Max.

    I mean after Max pit. They could have come in on 51 for a nice steady stop. Given Bottas had already gone pop, you'd think that they'd be cautious.
