Now we know why Verstappen was so fast: he was exceeding track limits.

yes those 3 track limits really made him fast over 55 laps.

 

[Junglist]

Yeah that must be the only reason.

Spending too much money is the other

 

[mid_gen]

This isn't over yet. Feels like something else is going to happen.

Something exciting like one car cruising past another with DRS?

Shame it's actually a track with some overtaking opportunities. DRS has robbed this race of any decent racing.

So has Hamilton now

 

[Psycho Ned]

Good effort from Ham but doesn't have the machinery this season sadly.

Spending too much money is the other

And hiring the race director

[Scam]

If those mediums tyres lasted to the end how come Merc didn’t put them on instead of the hards?

A mistake.

Although Hamilton did complain about mediums the most.

 

[Flibster]

Couldn't find a celebrity to wave the flag?

Actually surprised he agreed to it, it's black and white , surely too complicated for Apple...

Bodes well for next season at least.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Hot take: I think the extra fastest lap points are stupid. Adds a weird dynamic to the end of the races.

[Mr Jack]

Can't help but feel Merc lost this by picking hards over mediums.

 

[Concrete]

If those mediums tyres lasted to the end how come Merc didn’t put them on instead of the hards?

Incompetence sadly.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

If those mediums tyres lasted to the end how come Merc didn’t put them on instead of the hards?

It's very easy to say that now....They went onto the hards right before the final hard window. So it would have seemed like a very long stint for the mediums.
Made sense for the others to do a contrary choice

Merc do crap on mediums all season long

Mercedes don’t make mistakes, it’s the FIA stitching them up every time.
