Because Mercedes is likely going to dive into the pits early, and once they get those fresh tires, they’ll execute a perfect undercut to leapfrog Richie right after he finally switches over.
There’s almost certainly going to be a safety car tomorrow. It’ll be a blessing for some and a total disaster for others, which is exactly what makes this so incredibly exciting.
From where I’m sitting, it looks like Mercedes might have the edge in pure pace, and if they pull off that undercut on the new ultrasofts, they could pull off something truly magical—especially if Lewis Hamilton can keep that car under control.

William Bennett53 said:Following Lauda’s live commentary during the race, it seems Stewart has now stepped in to point the finger at Hamilton for the collision.
northerncobra31 said:That’s exactly why he nearly slammed into Sebastian Vettel twice; he's just desperate to overtake someone who's clearly playing games. I have no idea where you found that 99% statistic. 🤣
You probably just convinced yourself that all those overtakes in the previous races were his.
