I think I get McLarens lack of strategy today. P2 and p3 is still a good chunk of change in the Driver's and Constructors championship.

No need to risk strategy and just paint it by the numbers today. Eventually they're going to have to make some bolder strategies during the season.

Villeneuve pretty much mirrored my thinking all day on it.

I do agree though that they should have let max out and give Lando the green light for a hot lap in the clean air. I think the McLarens have a big edge in front of the pack race times and he could potentially have squeezed out the lead with a big lap and that one second better put stop they had.

But, in the big picture, having max win wasn't really too dangerous to the early drivers standings.

I think this is going to be a walk for McLaren to repeat the constructors title. Ferrari and Mercedes aren't really showing winning pace yet.




The Driver championship? It's going to be interesting.

The car parity is actually really good this year, haven't seen and race leader really walk away from the pack yet and they stay within 5 seconds of eachother generally so far.
