The pace difference of the Mercedes from the rest of the teams, means they cannot be punished for a lull in their performance as we saw at the start of the race. Imagine if that was Verstapenn in Sainz's position ahead of the Mercedes. That may have given us a great scrap at the front. Unfortunately, the Redbull under Verstapenn could not fire up the tyres quickly enough to make that happen.
