Mclaren.....solid effort once again

[Adam43]

Renault. A good showing.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Renault

[Knowlesy]

Yeah I thought Renault on the basis that they did nothing wrong.

Thats about the size of it lol.

Maybe its just me, but Merc always seem to miss stops they should have clearly made.

The double stop was good, but too often they are left scratching their heads and often wait a lap too long before someone is willing to make a decision.

[Knowlesy]

Mercedes overthink things it seems to me. They are equally as likely to make a dud call as an inspired decision on race day.

Red Bull always seem super sharp and crafty.

Renault gets my vote this week

[Aysedasi]

Yep, Renault for me too.

[Neil22]

McLaren for me. They really seem to have stepped up their game.

I'm amazed: I'm the only one to give it to Mercedes. They were 1 second faster than anyone else in qually and just drove off into the distance in the race. What more are they expected to do? (Apart from get their tyre strategy better of course, but they weren't the only ones to get that wrong!)

Given their performance potential compared to the rest of the grid, then for me they are expected to get a 1-2 finish. Do that, and they get my Team of the GP vote. Otherwise, they have under-performed.

Mercedes is a very logical vote on the basis of performance, but their result was found lacking, and they may be a bit responsible for that. I will go for Renault too. Good finishes by both cars.

Racing Point's pace in this race looked a bit lacking.

Agreed, anything other than a 1-2 finish in that car is a failure.

cant disagree with this, and if they finally get to Mercedes pace they could win a lot more races, because they've been race sharpened strategy wise....they've had to earn their podiums the hard way so had to think outside the box

with that said, red bull are in an easy position at the moment with Mercedes too far out front and Ferrari too far back to cause trouble, so they are in a great position to roll the dice and look like heros…..whether the same strategy would work in a dog fight, who knows!

[Knowlesy]

Definitely there is less chance of them throwing something away with their calls at the moment. Easier to chase innit?
