Flawless drive by Max, great strategy by RBR.

Red Bull was the dominant car today in this heat well done, ironically they helped Lewis in the championship because he would've finished 2nd to Bottas and without the fastest lap so a big points swing there.

Mercedes needs to get their heads out of their butts with regards to strategy. They most likely could have run the exact same strategy that Max did!
I doubt they would have been as quick as the RedBull today, however. The Mercs were eating their tyres where the RedBull wasn't.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Fair play. Hamilton made that work by doing that massive middle stint without losing too much time.
They didn't give Bottas the chance to go long, their LEAD driver.
How do you know?
You don't know that either, but the reality is, Bottas didn't go long, and Bottas has never went against the team strategy.

No they gave Bottas the priority pit strategy. The fact he was unable to catch his team mate on knackered tyres like Verstappen did is on him.

Good job Max and Leclerc. Mercedes definitely not good in the heat.
Vettel blown into the weeds.

Seems like it doesn't it, can't have the owner's son be embarrassed by a stand-in.
I know. There can be no other reason.
Official answer given by Otmar to TV broadcasters: vibrations left rear, fear of tire failure.
I can smell that answer from here.

Albon also good and clean drive today. Hulk not seen entire race, unfortunately.

Merc couldn’t release their full pace. It was a tyre-limited race; it was always gonna be close.
Team ANTI-HYPE. Prove it, then I’ll anoint you.

That sounds like been written by a sore Hamilton fan loser =D>
RB had the better strategy, superb first stint from Max and strategy made them win. And for sure Mercedes was the dominant car but less due the heat.
