    yeah, Merc really shafted everyone when they stopped in the pit exit and let everyone else pass, good strategy.

    Yes, I saw that.
    I will see if I can find a link but Norris replied with something like, 'Why?, do you think I wasn't capable?' or at least with that meaning, I was multi tasking . He has got attitude and self belief, but not like Verstappen.
    I really like seeing these youngsters coming into the sport, talented, unlike some of the pay drivers of recent years.

    I am not sure if Vettel is just slow or playing the long game with tyres?

    Think there’s some tyre games going on. They’re all worried about a safety car but we haven’t come near one yet!!

    Ferrari had better be right on this call with Le Clerc. They badly need a safety car.

    Ferrari are the most useless front runners since Mclaren 2012.

    What is this strategy.
