Well, as it stands now, Mercedes look set to win both championships, so it can't have been that crucial a mistake,

Well, it could have been more comfortable for them. His job is to neutralize Perez, where was he?

I spoke too early, Bottas is back in it now.

Sad to see kimi leave like this.

But perhaps its the ending we could expect from the iceman.

Why did they not pit hamilton when they saw verstappen come in?

Could be a big strategical error from mercedes again.

Have Mercedes messed up here???

Yes they have given the advantage to Redbull. It would be the last few laps overtake by Verstappen. Verstappen is still good for the title.

They have cost Hamilton the driver's title it seens.

Doubt it... Lewis still has great pace, but I guess we'll see.

Those tyres would drop in a few laps and Verstappen would pass. Redbull has outwitted Mercedes.
