They’ll have a different set up that suits their style of driving, but other wise, exact same components. They are instances where one driver may get an upgrade sooner than another in certain circumstances.

Alex is a head case this season. Brazil 2019 screwed him up when Lewis punted him and denied his first podium then when it happened again in Austria he hasn’t been the same since.

No way Lewis makes it.

They look like shite. But we’ve seen this before when he takes another 20 laps on dead tires and makes it work.

Ham is close enough to go to mediums.

They bring him in, BOT lets him pass, HAM goes after Max with less than 5 laps.

If Max comes back in the BOT stays out and wins.

Yes and no... sometimes teams will try out an upgrade on one car (think new front wing, bargeboards, etc) just in case it fails... they will still have one car that is the old reliable tech...this usually happens more in practice, but it does happen in races

Teams can always take out and add a little wing angle to each drivers preference, also slightly different engine mapping too... but the basic components are the same

I really don’t understand RB putting Max on the mediums earlier.

That’s the disadvantage of Max not having a teammate to help his strategies.

No idea why they didn't stick with the original plan.

Especially if for how well he stretched out the hards... he could have fresh Mediums at the end and also go for the fastest lap

If Merc pits HAM after Leclerc it is an amazing strategy

Lol at Lewis.

If his strategy and car aren’t perfect, he starts to make mistakes.

Yeah, pit lane penalty for sure

Red bull is watching that penalty before they pull the trigger
