Red Bull head and shoulders above everyone :hubie:

Hamilton's hard tires are falling off meanwhile Max is cruising on his mediums after multiple laps behind Leclerc and Lewis.

Perez is about to catch Leclerc with half a front wing missing.

Newey and Honda deserve their credit :manny:

Yeah Lewis checked out. Sigh

I wish we had* the virtual representations, Lewis doesn't stand a chance against Max in that RB, especially if Merc are still pulling 2.7+ pit stops. You need to come correct on all points to compete with Red Bull, not looking pretty for Merc unless that next vehicle is crazy fast.

Tim Apple looking like he's being held at gun point waving that flag. I've seen more enthusiastic people in hostage videos :russ:

Exactly, from what I'm seeing, Merc needs a vehicle that is just outright faster than the RB by a notable margin to makeup for all the other issues, and that's just because they have Lewis, lose Lewis and Red Bull should just annihilate this sport for years to come unless Max is actually beyond chasing titles.

They're not good with strategy or pit stops.
And why is this case? If us laymen have been identifying this, even when Merc was winning, why have they not tackled it? I'm wondering if that is caused by their no-blame culture.

Their pits stops are the fastest but they aren't the slowest either.

Strategy now... that's a different story. But not mad at the strategy decisions today.
