@johnrkh obviously Webber wasn’t confident enough to overrule the team strategy, the way Vettel did in 2011 Monaco (which by the way won him the race)

I think Vettel will pick either 15 or 5. His STR year was #15 (Monza 08 victory anyone?) and his first RBR year was 15. Then he became Red 5, and then became champion. Pastor should do P45TOR. That way...

In all honesty – I think this is their insurance policy to losing Bottas to a top team. F1 i think will have a big silly season this year, so many uncontracted drivers.

He wasn’t actually too far off the pace in qualifying. He didnt string a lap together more like. If you combine his 3 best sectors then he would only be like 2 tenths off Leclerc.

more fuel was a favorable thing. Less fuel meant a better quali with lighter car but you had to come in earlier. Running longer on an overcut was more favorable usually back then. @lums
