    Midfield nicely packed too. Could be another great recovery drive if it has no more issues but strategy will play a part too.

    Would be interesting if they can leave Bottas out, might be able to come into play later. Or he's just slow.

    Red bull decided to not bite on what Mercedes did at the pit stop.

    HAM currently leading the race when pit stop for VER factored in.

    I can't help but think Redbull have lost this 1st strategy battle...

    Red Bull wouldn't want to keep this for much longer or Bottas will be closer to them.

    I’m starting to question if they even change tyres during these pitstops. 2 fooking seconds!!!!

    Red Bull have either pulled a masterstroke or completely blown it, guess we'll find out later

    Trying to win the race. I emphasise trying because it was a curious call.

    Don’t underestimate Bottas’ ability to make a mess of it.

    They did 1/3 distance on 1 set, will they be sticking on some soft for the last 10 laps maybe?

    Makes zero sense so far.

    Or in some cases not on properly at all.
