    So sad ferrari ****ed the strategy and sainz binned it.

    Even from that bad start this should be a 1/2.

    2/3 in bound for merc.

    Ferrari just plain better as expected. Perez has shown how to blast about in that red bull v the slower merc but that's that.

    Cmon alonso!!!

    Mercedes looking fast this weekend, easily the 3rd best car and with Red Bulls problems they could be Ferrari main challengers soon as they keep braking down.

    It's a high downforce, low speed track. Hungary/Monaco of the southern hemisphere.

    What I see is a car that's been good to its tyres.

    If merc are the main challengers then it'll be a procession for le clerc.

    Alonso with a cheap stop and faster tyres could be fun!

    Alonso fell off the drs train. Mediums all used up?
    Going to go backwards rapidly.

    Proves the ferrari sainz tactic was dead wrong


    Left with a stroll cheating and weaving battle for 20 alps here

    Albon needs to pit now as well?

    Positives

    Mclaren 5th and 6th exploiting the same slower track

    Russel podium.

    Negatives.
    Very dull and no lie in on Sunday morning for me.

    We don't have a wdc any more. It's a procession.

    Stroll has 5s penalty so if albon can get there about he could get 1??

    I hate verstappen having a go at team. The whinging at jeddah in quali was disgraceful

    But Hamilton there needs to get the delusion out of his head.
