I think Mercedes made a serious strategy error. Letting Perez get the fastest lap point wouldn't be much of a problem to Mercedes. But then they stopped Bottas for a go at Fastest Lap and that opened a gap for Verstappen to do the same. It was only Verstappen"s error due to pushing too hard that saved that point for Mercedes.
