Hamilton spun out, somehow recovered and still finished second


He only recovered and finished second because of the red flag. He would have been 4th or worse had that red flag not happened.

Max went wide in Bahrain and went wide in Portugal quali, both giving gifts to Merc.

Not sure if Max sitting on the pole in quali would have translated to a win this weekend with how Hamilton was able to track him down so easily. The quali setups did not work in the race for Max and Bottas.

Both Max and Bottas were running new aero packages for the weekend and Perez and Hamilton were on previous packages.

And if he hadn’t spun and damaged his car, he could well have won that race also. He was actually almost half a second a lap slower due to front wing damage. Just like Red Bull had missteps, Mercedes did also. Both gave gifts.
