Surprising results with Max taking pole. All the pundits were saying this was Hamilton's race.

With engine issues that seem to be plaguing Mercedes/Bottas - I am wondering if Mercedes improvements were from extracting more performance from the engine at the risk of reliability. My hypothesis is that Mercedes chose to turn the engine down this week over their concerns. I guess it is possible that we find out that RBR made some significant changes going into this weekend.

Should be interesting start tomorrow.
