It would be so fun if both of them touch each other into a spin at the start, forced to pit and fall to the back of the grid and both go all out to finish in the points to claim the title. Hahah

Their teammates have big roles to play this weekend. Incoming special bonus if manage to do what they supposed to. Lol

In the heat of the moment, he will say this kind of things la. Even MV would have said the same if VB did it to him.

Anyway, felt Toto went over the line when he told Masi not to turn the VSC into an SC earlier in the race. That was not right. But for the part when they let lapped cars overtake SC at the end, i can understand Toto’s frustration/anger. Lol

The problem is that only certain car are allowed to unlapped by being lapped under safety car...which is weird.

Next weekend's Formula 3 will be shown on Arena 2

The plan was to keep both of them out but Mercedes as they are running P1 and P2 with the hope of George holding up Max at the restart for Lewis to pull away and get his medium up to temp. During the last few laps, Lewis's lap time was just 0.5s slower than the soft tires runner at the front.

But Mercedes was not assertive enough to tell GR to stay out but to let him pit for soft. This would have been a better strategy for both of them but just pitting GR exposed Lewis to Max, GR and Charles. It is also why Lewis was so pissed off after he saw George go for soft when they go through the pitlane.

Someone pointed the differences between Red Bull Verstappen and Mercedes Lewis when come to safety car handling:
Mercedes and Lewis too concerned on the leading position, fear of unable to overtake later, so continue without going for pitstop. Happened twice and still same decision...

Red Bull and Max, not giving a damn on the leading position, just come in for pitstop, in Max we trust he'll overtake back anyone, year 2021 and year 2022 also same decision...

Perhaps Red Bull starting 2021 is already a dominant car while Mercedes and Ferrari just hanging around trying hard for luck.

You'll never get them both in the same car, who bother to scratch your head over it? Besides there's just too many factors affecting the outcome of a race which ultimately decided a championship.

I don't really want to compare them like that. Drivers are not robots, their performance are affected by other factors like age, mentality and fitness. Given how Lewis has struggled with W13 in the beginning of the season, it's hard to say how much was it down to car and how much was it down to his age (coping with the porpoising). You probably could say GR would have beaten Max in the same car given the race outcome that he achieved with the broken W13 early in the season. Nothing is certain until you get them in the same car and race it out.

Other than that, it's merely pot calling kettle black and vice versa.
