    Stop blaming Ferrari for sainz’s strategy. He was slow today and there was no way he was ending up ahead of hamilton or even in the points. They rolled the dice with best option they had

      Can I blame AR for bottas’ strategy? I mean the AR didn’t have the speed for points but jfc that one stopper was rough to look at, even if the “sc strat” -brainrot was behind it

        Considering tsunoda made the one stop work pretty well, I think that it was worth the risk for AR. They were going to finish well outside the points anyway and went for it.

          AT is a better car and bottas is certainly not a tire whisperer (at least during his reign in AR), I really don’t see how it would’ve worked without godsent safety cars.

      The problem was his qualifying yesterday. He would have been in the points if he started near to Charles. Like a lot of teams there were a lot of team mates with big qualifying gaps going on, so something odd happened on Saturday.
