Mercedes have messed this up.

Lewis is losing time hand over fist on these tyres, and they will lose time hand over fist on the last few laps of a hard tyre.

They gonna lose way more than a pitstop.

Don't understand why they have committed to the strategy with both cars

on TV they are acting like its the counter-max strategy, but they should be worrying more about Ferrari and the constructors, not worrying about chasing the pink elephant that is Max

Who is more screwed though Mercedes or McLaren? They both seem to have gone all in on the hards.

McClaren will pit again I think, they didn't really have the tyres to put Norris on anything but hards for this stint

I think you're right Hamilton is catching. He will need to pit again to beat Mercedes.
