Mercedes team radio still reckon the hards will come good at some point... can't say I agree

I'm so pleased that gurning attention whore doesn't have a seat next year.

The Sky pundits even said something along the lines of, 'We've been waiting for something to happen. We're still waiting.'

Too many races this year have been snooze fests, so the whole new concept of car to bring about excitement hasn't exactly worked.

Absolutely poo this

Ricciardo is showing the strategy that Mercedes SHOULD have executed

If anything the harder the tyres the worst it is getting. Softs are the best tyres by far right now

Hamilton will be fuming under his helmet. From attacking Verstappen he's now having to fend off Perez, even despite the latter's crap pit stop

Verstappen is on another level currently to the rest of the field / properly in tune with his car.

Mediums were rated for 50 laps, no idea why they pitted Hamilton so early... you can say track position but they should know that this is the outcome of running the slower tyre first. You either start on the softs or stick to the full stint on the mediums. They have switched to the hards before in good positions and killed their races, they've done it again.

Softs are worth 1.5s a lap

Mercedes were well known for making poor tactical / team decisions when they were dominating, but their speed would often mask this failing.

Now their cars aren't able to keep up with the RB, the lack of tactical nous has undermined Lewis and Max in a number of races as of late.

GR has a shot at Perez, I reckon. maybe the tyre offset will finally start to tell

Traffic will be the issue for him.
