Yes but I think Max is the more desperate of the two here with Lewis clearly having the better pace the past few races and the tire advantage. If they both DNF and the stewards don’t act its Max’s title.

Also a brilliant strategy by RB starting Q3 using Checo to give Max a tow and having him do his quali lap on the third lap and getting the tow back from Max on Max’s in lap. It caught me off guard at first, I thought if there was going to be a tow I thought it would be on the first straight and when I saw how far apart they were after their out lap I thought they were both doing their fast laps until Checo fell behind on the second long straight. Merc screwed up not doing the same

What a lap. On the abandoned 2nd run in Q3, did VER again have the tow? Not sure he did, but was still up on his pole time after sector 2.
His pace through sector 2 (passing sector) looks optimum. Everyone back to BOT in 6th is on softs. Seems like mega danger zone for HAM from a couple of perspectives. If he gets overtaken at the start, some of the top runners might have enough pace to keep him behind for some laps while VER streaks away (though I think NOR yields). Risk aversion approach, does HAM shoot for P2 behind VER, bide his time, play the strategy/tire advantage game? If leading, can VER utilize his initial tire and sector 2 advantages to control the race pace and bring Checo into play? To be a fly on the wall in the strategy rooms tonight.

Look at when RB stated that in essence it isn't fair that when a car is crashed by another team so badly it needs a new engine or gearbox, it's not penalty free. Merc. disagreed and so did the teams that used merc's engines...what a coincidence.... Anyway, you can imagine Senna or Schumacher having said the same thing and put another battle above your own? I think not ... If NOR has this attitude, he automatically abandons hope to win this race. If you can gain a position, you should do it! That should be the attitude of a F1 driver. The 'teamsport' aspect shouldn't span across teams.

Hams 'rocket' PU is 2 races old and the sell by date on a Merc PU comes five times more quicker than a RB PU.

Pitstops must be flawless. Just imagine that you're one of those guys operating a wheel nut gun. The car enters the pitlane, you're sitting on your knees, you feel your heart racing and the electricity in the air, the whole world is watching and you know the drill: "failure is no option !"

Yes the reds can give MAX a 0.5 sec advantage , this means in normal circumstances a 5 sec. gap after +/- 10 laps .. MAX ran with extremely low downforce setup to get a higher topspeed as you can see in my video, lower downforce translates in lower tyre wear as well .. I'm pretty sure MAX will go for the first pitstop ,while Checo runs completely through his softs till HAM has to pit .. By this HAM comes out behind Checo , from there Checo can pull his emergy brake ! I'm still lost in words by MAX's pole lap , as he runs with a 8 races old HONDA PU while HAM just flies in his Rocketship ! And of course HAM was very disappointed ... These are just my thoughts how the race scenario can be , and as usual it has to be driven first ... Mate .So ,We'll see , but I can't wait !

It's advantage Hamilton. Max is starting on the wrong tire. Towards the end of the race Lewis will catch him and pass. I just don't see max holding him off with his older power unit. But who knows. We will see tomorrow.
