They got to get to told to take sips?
You ever been hyper focused on a task and lose yourself? Same thing can happen here. Also the drink bottle can be located forward in the car, so they have them drink to help maintain balance (center of gravity) as the race goes on.

Lewis needs a safety car to even remotely salvage this shyt. But mission accomplished Mercedes, you put George in front :unimpressed:

Lewis is aware of it, putting him on softs to start in a race known for tire deg is nuts by any measure and Brundle called it out, but I can't imagine it not taking a toll on wanting to drive knowing they'll always strategically set him up to land behind a teammate.

Dan by getting the fastest lap stopped the possibility that if Lando and Max 1 &2 the rest of every thing then going into the final lap of the final race they would be tied

This championship is going to come close 6 races and 3 sprints left

I think McLaren is counting on Oscar to spoil a few second places for Max. It's kinda stupid Red Bull has four cars to play those type of janky tactics.

Red Bull has had this advantage for years now and I don't get why teams haven't complained. If anything, Ferrari and Mercedes should have taken the FIA to task when Red Bull used Toro Rosso as a year long test bed for Honda before switching.

Merc literally sabotaged a podium, makes no sense putting Lewis on soft knowing Piastri was always going to be a threat
