Can I just check - does anyone understand what Ferrari's strategy was in Austria other than to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

The heat destroyed their tyres, the set up didn't work correctly on hards and the engines overheated in traffic so reduced in power. Considering that they finished where they should have, or their abouts.

Silverstone should suit them a lot better and Hamilton loves the place. Expect them to be there or there abouts.

ETA There is talk of Silverstone's high speed corners and less hard stops could make for the return of random overtakes due to inconsistent battery charge.

Yeah. They were chewing through the tyres faster than the others. Not sure why they chucked Lewis out on softs - unless he had no spare sets of medium / hards left.

The drivers' parade certainly will be - they've all go Lego karts to go round in and you just know there'll be some competitive driving, even at 25mph

It’s an awful result for the average armchair fan who only watches one live race a year.
Why couldn’t they have started the last lap?
Just announced, Abu Dhabi 2021 again.
No penalty for yellow flag infringement.
