They’ll be going long for the offset. Will currently come out 4s behind on fresher tyres so should still have a chance. They probably want to clear Alonso before pitting

Re: Mercedes vs Red Bull - 2021
IMO, Max should take a new engine component at Qatar. Even if the next 3 tracks were to suit Mercedes, a stronger engine beneath Max will make his chances of a fightback a little more stronger. I know you’re talking of fight back in terms of performance but we’ve got to remember that Verstappen sti...

Re: Brazil 2021 - Should Max have been given a Penalty
As I said... The outcome has to be a factor unless you want to penalise every loss of control. It's ridiculous that they insist otherwise. I completely agree... that's why Hamilton taking Verstappen out directly causing a 50g 150mph crash should have resulted in much more than a 5s penalty It did.
