Too early for me to place my bets
Mercedes, Hamilton in particular, has the package to do this
Ferrari will only win if LeClerc and his garage execute perfectly. That's a big "if." Vettel might be in it north of 6th, but now, that's a big "if" as well.
Red Bull does have a package that could win. . . and they have the drivers too; Albon is becoming Honeybadger Jr.
Renault could be a surprise; I wasn't expecting that good of a result in Monza.

That was a decent race. A few too many safety car periods but no one was willing to roll the dice by pitting.

Congrats to Ferrari for the 1-2 and Red Bull did well to round out the podium. Was a bit surprised by how the silver arrows performed. But I’ll bet this is a one off. At Ferrari, I thought their strategy call was a controversial. I wonder what explanation they’ll come up with for it.

will get the next race thread started soon as I’ll be away next weekend.

I want to believe that Binotto was thinking about the 1-2. . . but honestly, I think both Binotto (and staff) and Wolf (and staff) were making weird statistical bets with the safety cars (as crashes in Singapore rarely *don't* impact driving lines), running it through data analysis, and voila! Long story short: the strategy bets on both Ferrari and Mercedes were long bets.
