I have to say, Mercedes were at their very best with the strategy today. They out-thinked the Ferrari team today. Vettel being out of position really helped Mercedes today as well. Keeping Hamilton out for a few laps longer made all the difference when it was time to take the fight to Kimi.
Haas are joint 4th in the constructors championship with Renault. Renault seem to have put forward a formal protest of the Haas cars which has resulted in both car being withheld by the stewards subject to investigation due to Renault's protest. The new kid on the block is ruffling some feathers it would seem.
I wonder, if Vettel loses the drivers championship of 2018 to Hamilton, would he still be wearing red next season? By the way, rumours are that Leclerc has been signed by Ferrari for next season. It would seem Kimi's days in red are numbered.
Kimi being the sole Ferrari at the front was literally mugged by the Mercedes pair. The Mercedes strategist was out for blood today and executed his plan with deadly efficiency which left Kimi with damaged tyres and easy picking for a RAMPANT HAMILTON. It was a brilliant display of team effort to which Bottas contributed enormously. The Mercedes may be slightly slower than the Ferrari, but they are making up for the difference with some gritty and daring attacks.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 2nd September 2018 at 21:06.
