If rain comes, it will be another strategic mistake by Ferrari, getting both cars on inters for first runs and wasting time.

And Seb with another mistake, it is not a great season for him surely.

Ferraris gamble was on it raining more. It just didnt rain fast enough. If it rained 5mins earlier they would have looked amazing .

Mercedes nail it and are on the better tyre for the start and qualify on Slicks and so get it a 1/2-Check.
Ferrari get it totally wrong and end up on the worse tyre for the start and then go for inters? and end up 4/9-Check.

That isn’t Mercedes doing anything extraordinary by the way. It totally brain dead options by Ferrari.

It was a lap in dry conditions. We know he’s the best, but please stop overhyping.

They dropped the ball in Q2 by going for SS too.

Ouch. That’s nasty from Verstappen there.

In case anyone missed it.

DC (David Coulthard) - You wouldn’t want to get in the way of the WDC battle would you?
MV (Max Verstappen) - Is it still a battle? I’m not sure!
DC - Fair point.

So the F1 app in Q2 showed us that only Lewis and Bottas went on S tyres but at the beginning of Q3 they said only Lewis did ...
