Lewis taking a ten place hit this weekend with a new combustion engine. I guess Max taking an engine last weekend and recovering in the race forced their hands.
Going well in practice helps, but he'll have to get past the McLarens again. And likely a Renault or two as well. Don't think it will be plain sailing.

They have been looking into F1 for a long time now. There was even rumours of starting a new team a wee while back.

Lol, perfect summary 
Mercedes have a lot of pace here for whatever reason. Will be interesting to see how far up Lewis can get, if he has enough performance in the car to not get stuck too long behind McL or Renault.
Imagine Max will push Bottas out of the way on the first corner, lol, and then disappear into the sunset

You'd imagine a team such as red bull would simply be able to diall out issues like that.
Bit less rake etc etc.

The rake isn’t easily changeable though, suspension and aero is designed around it, the high rake cars have gained with this years rule changes, Merc and Aston being low rake have suffered until now

Not like Mercedes to mess up a strategy

Hard to know if they did or not, think that had maybe sunk in a bit to hamilton after the race

True, could have ended up like Norris at Sochi.

So that was a lot more uneventful than expected...
The man who can't race won the race
That's what he can do when let off the leash. Didn't put a foot wrong.
Surprised Max and RB didn't put up more of a fight. Clearly happy to coast in for second.
DOTD for me: Lewis and Sainz. Great recovery drives for both.
Don't think anything else happened
As for the last stop for Lewis - damned if they did, damned if they didn't. Just too much of a gamble.
If anything, if they had pitted when the team first wanted to then Lewis would have had more time once the tyres switched on to regain places. By staying out he just got them in the window as the race ended.
Not an easy call.

Great race, really interesting race with the strategies and psychological radio messages. I don’t recall hearing as much mind play via the radios as I did today.
Weird with the way the tyres were, going on and off at different stages?
Tough penalty on Gasly, that wasn’t his fault as he was sandwiched whereas Alonso’s move on Schumacher looked almost intentional by comparison.
Great to see Bottas not crumble under pressure. That win was needed for his career and arguably could be his last.
