Same could be said for you are Merc. Grow up.
Moaning about a team principal being happy for his driver, such drivel.

Fastest car and Ferrari deciding that strategy is something for other teams to deal with.
Given how bad Perez is, Hamilton or Russell, 2nd in WDC as well.

Hes in a better car than anyone and is a very good driver. Same reason Hamilton won so many championships.
Ferrari have a car that is similar in quality but they are an absolutely junk team everywhere else.
It was ridiculously gushing for a win that was basically handed to him. But whatever.
Do we think the floor changes are going to help Mercedes even more then?
Norris really wants Perez’s seat doesn’t he? He’s seemed very openly matey with Red Bull recently.
The more I think about it the more I'm getting wound up with Ferrari and I'm not even a Ferrari fan - I just like their drivers.
They have built a brilliant car and have arguably one of, if not the best, balanced team of drivers on the grid. Yet they fumble every single important call they get. They never take risks, they react too late and they make choices that even I on my sofa can see isn't going to work. It just really irritates me how such a historic team with infinite resources still find new and interesting ways to sodomise themselves every single bloody race weekend.

I think criticising Horner for congratulating his driver going 10th to 1st is a bit silly.
If it was Hamilton in first with the same type of message, he'd be hailed as some sort of god.
@Junglist I know what you mean. I don't really mind who wins it, but I would like to see Ferrari return to the top. It's theirs for the taking, but they seemingly don't want it this year.

Great drive, good strategy. Leclerc should have beaten him but Ferrari panicked when Max went for his second pit stop and so Leclerc ended up up on the hards that just didn't work today. Russell wasn't fast enough and had picked the wrong starting tyre to keep ahead of the Ferraris. Hamilton started too far back for his superior strategy to catch Max.
Max was lucky his spin didn't cost him more.
Soldato
I'm not a Max fan at all but he drove well today, team had a good strategy and he kept his head down. Deserved the win for that. Ferrari are just screwing over their drivers plain and simple. Would have been nice to see Russell on the top of the podium but I think 3rd is still a very respectable result for him.
Caporegime
First win with Merc, isn't it?
Soldato
But not today as Sainz was stating the performance wasn't there with all the tyre compounds...
Caporegime
Not for Sainz, no.
Soldato
Fezza second and third on the grid, then 4th and something, blimey speechless absolutely shocking.
Soldato
Sainz can state what he likes, Leclerc should have been at least second.
Fed up with ferrari excuses, that should have been a 1 2
Soldato
Charles just completely "nope-ing" out of that strategy question there.
Utter embarrassment.
Utter embarrassment.
Soldato
Yeah, Charles just confirmed his pace was ok until they put him on the hards. Toto seems to think they'd run out of compounds..
They were fine on the mediums and ok on the Softs. Leclerc was fastest man on track at one point.
Then they decided to go for hards after that worked so well for alpine and haas
Caporegime
Binotto giving a conflicting view to Leclerc about their pace, guy's just a Ferrari apologist rather than a principle.
Soldato
Look at the body language. He desperately wants to get out of there. Just needs to say something positive and get off camera.
He needs to get into the debrief room and start shouting.
Edit: I think after this race, we'll see more ignored calls from the drivers.
