The Red Bulls are defending so they will take no risky pit stops. If they were attacking with nothing to loose then the race is exciting
Always find the gap then use it.

Any bets on what the talking point will be after this race?

1) what a boring race with no passing
2) single stop race wth the softest compounds

Would it heck. They went aggresive on the tyre strategy at the start and it was a bore fest. One of the worsed race starts i can remember.

In fact its been as boring or if not more so than monaco

Why is Kimi so slow
He isn't actually, he is matching Vettel's times atm.

Usually there's a bit of spice in this race.
Great job by Vettel and Ferrari looking after the Pirreli's, the best team this week.
Redbull just have the edge on using the Pirreli's in my opinion, not too far from being contenders.
As always, soon as there is close competition at the front regulations are changed the following year('s)

The 2nd one was predictable. It's every race the same story, temps will be high, HS tires, no no. They are durable tires after all.

The story for me is how Hamilton managed to not be on the podium. 50% his fault. Because of Q of course.

Another massively disappointing McLaren performance.
A crash-free weekend for Verstappen
Lack of overtakes
Haas: no crashes, but no points either
Why F1 is repeating the Lap1 crash 6 times during the race
The three top teams being so far ahead of anybody else

Id hoped for Kimi to be faster

I saw more overtakes around Monaco than this race, that says a lot about this race.

Wow. Verstappen fastest lap, down to 1.8 on Bottas.
