    Why didn't Mercedes pit Bottas to take the fastest lap away from Verstappen?

    Mercedes strategy was an epic failure. Unbelievably arrogant and dumb. They absolutely blew it. Oh well

    What is crazy is Hamilton and Bottas both knew what they needed to be done, but Mercedes pit wall didn't listen and got paralyzed.

    Perez is paying dividends for Red Bull. Just needs to keep improving.

    This results bodes well for competitive races rest of the year.

    Ferrari didn't cover themselves in glory either. To come away with no points after starting fifth and seventh is pathetic.

    "Soft" defense from Lewis is pretty out of character , as is his not being nearly upset enough about it all .

    Bottas asks why they didn't listen , so maybe he isn't in on the plan .




    Geez , Red Bull is looking strong , though , aren't they ?
