    This would normally be Lewis territory all the way so if Max can pull something off here it would be hugely significant.

    A tale of 2 sectors I feel. Sector 1 should be classic Merc territory, it's whether Red Bull can claw enough back in sector 3 to make things competitive.

    Based on the drag race Lewis had with Sergio in Turkey one might think Sector 2 is Merc territory, provider they have more than a second at the DRS detection zone. .

    Now the budget cap is there surely that's enough as long as any additional PU components are chargeable at a pre set level? That might be better than grid place penalties?

    Di Resta just showing the Merc rear end dropping when on straights!!! Would be interesting to see other cars on same straights to see the difference.

    No kidding...

    We should add an "All of them" option to the poll, just to see what happens when I pick it.
