^ Phew. Yeah. Thought it was all over really once Max started on 9th but I suppose you can't put away a good engine/driver combination for too long.
As expected (or as I did anyway), Leclerc didn't have staying power (or Ferrari doesn't I suppose) but he still made points. My last-minute decision to put Tsunoda back in 10th backfired, had I kept in Leclerc instead, probably at least another point to get 16.
Well done to the leaders, pays to pick the favourites most of the time, hm?
Is it just me or F1 getting more and more boring and the as you said, choosing favorites usually pays off. Due to this strict budget constraint, directives have been given from the teams to the drivers, they are racing almost without taking any risks, especially on the street tracks. If Max and Checo had started the race with the same tire strategy, today's winner would most likely have been Checo though. Because it took a lot of wear on Max's tires to climb. He stayed in the air corridor many times. It would be to keep a stable and adequate pace in the fresh air until the lap laps for Checo and to pit at the right time to maintain the advantage and the difference. Just like in Baku. As expected (or as I did anyway), Leclerc didn't have staying power (or Ferrari doesn't I suppose) but he still made points.
