Ferrari, for not messing up for once and getting a respectable result.

Yup, Merc. That strategy gamble (or not) gets them my vote.

Mercedes for me, although I thought that they must be mad with that late tyre change !! but that's why I am only a humble motor mechanic and not a team leader

I certainly liked the go for it attitude of the team. They knew they had space to make an pitstop without losing a place so thought it was worth a shot. I wish people would try that more often.

After earning a thoroughly deserved Plonkers of the GP at the last race, Mercedes get an emphatic Team of the GP this time. Perhaps there should be a Strategist of the GP award for James Vowles. It was supreme agile thinking to spot a set of circumstances which are unusual but opened up the opportunity for them. There must be a few team de-briefs this morning where strategists are being asked "Would you have thought of that?"

I think a lot of them would have thought of it. Especially as the fastest lap has highlighted another benefit of stopping when there is a big enough gap to not lose a place.
Having the balls to go for it was the key. |

Having read a bit more on Autosport, it seems they were evaluating and discussing it for 6 or 7 laps, so it wasn't quite the seat-of-the-pants decision I thought. But still I can't see any other team having the imagination or courage to do it.

Undoubtedly Mercedes. After looking like rank amateurs last time out they called the strategy brilliantly.

i voted Merc because i liked to see them use an aggressive strategy. old school in a way and let your driver go out and get it sorted.
but i also liked what i saw from Ferrari. for sure they were way off the pace so bad, but they also ran two different strategies and it sort of looked like they were actually running a garage with two distinct sides. ultimately the pass did not seem coordinated right? |

Mercedes nailed it.
Ferrari were off the pace and made mistakes during pit stops again. I'd struggle to give them runner up. |
