That's why they should have run the same strategy as George. Both of them had the straight up pace to beat him but they decided to go for tire offset and went too many laps without going in. Everyone was trying their best to lose. George shouldn't have won that race.

At least it wasn't Hamilton's strategy. I was genuinely dumbfounded when they put him on softs mid race and guaranteed him a 3 stop. Even more dumbfounded the announcers weren't calling out Ferrari for doing so. I was trying to figure out what I was missing.

He went:
Medium: 12 Laps
Hard: 13 Laps
Soft: 17 Laps
Hard: 29 Laps


Ferrari doing Ferrari things.

I was very confused during the race but as it went on I think it was just painfully obvious that they were just slow and throwing stuff at the fan to see if anything sticks.

I get throwing **** at the wall and bringing him in under the VSC but why would you not go hard at that point? More laps to wait out for another safety car or the outside shot of finishing on those hards and gaining the 13 seconds or whatever for pitting under the VSC.. If you do have to make a third stop, the set of softs are still there.

That was complete nonsense. How do you not race at the end. F1 has to big of a rule book to not have fixed this.

There is an agreement with the teams in accordance with the rule book that the races shouldn't end under a safety car and if there is a chance they will, the race should be red flagged. The race director should have red flagged it but didn't.

I think Newey needs to spend his time putting in work at AM and not side projects.

Red Bull is gonna have their own issues if Max ends up leaving, especially after firing almost all of their upper management. I can see them taking a complete nose dive over the next few years.
