Anybody watch it?
Remarkably, everybody finished. Is the Red Bull now better than the Merc, or is Verstappen better than Hamilton?
The one thing that was missing from this was a real dogfight between the two. When Hamilton got ahead, it was a mistake by Verstappen. When Vertsappen caught and passed Hamilton at the end, he had much better tyres
The normal pattern, according to Coulthard, is for Verstappen to drive in such a way as to leave Hamilton with a choice of backing out or crashing. Hamilton will have to call his bluff, if it is a bluff, or there will be no change.
