Hamilton strategy miscalculation
Looks to me like Mercedes overestimate Ferrari’s pace and compromised Hamilton’s strategy to cover Vettel. In retrospect, it would have been better to keep Hamilton out to maximize both stunts rather than leaving him in tire management mode for most of the race. But that’s what happens in the first race when no one truly knows what to expect yet. Fingers crossed that Williams will come back stronger.

Boring race
#1 Having said that; Bottas drove a fantastic race! He crushed Hamilton. Hoping that he will keep this form through the season. #2 Hamilton drove a faultless race, but simply couldn’t match the pace of Bottas. #3 And Max drove a great race too. Maximizing...
Fully agree , boring race but Max did the best he could
I think LH will be more agressieve next race .
Think so too
But Bottas is going for itZ really curious to see how long it will take Hamilton to crush his dreams...
Would be really cool for him.
But beating Hamilton isn’t easy. Rosberg was lucky too that Hamilton had an engine failure.

(Claire) Williams should forget about staying an independent team.
And seek for Mercs help asap. Better to become their B-team instead of dying off slowly and painfully.
Hamilton had floor damage!
I read the above issue is why he couldn't catch up to Botas or match his performance in the race, but it does look like this season should give us closer racing then previous seasons. Max looked really strong in the Red Bull as it seems so far Honda have ...
McLaren should have been patience with Honda.
Ricciardo left because of Verstappen. Question now is: will he be able to beat Hulkenberg.
Good for Bottas!
He’s now had more fun after one race in 2019 then he had combined in his 21 races in 2018. NickO
