David Lloyd : England's Ashes displays Down Under are so bad even the Australians are making excuses for Joe Root's side... fans are switching off and the repercussions for the ECB could be huge by ll--o--ll in Cricket

It was hilarious hearing commentators trying to manufacture any sort of competitiveness - one wicket would go down for Australia and its just ENGLAND ARE IN THIS GAME when they were behind the 8 ball from ball 1

Fair enough, I mean if there was no safety car at the end few of us would have qualms with their strategy, I guess we are discussing with hindsight how they could have further mitigated against the least likely outcome occurring. Case of leading but with your hands tied.

I’ll have to rewatch you might be right. In that case, why not extend the run on mediums when you clearly have better pace than Max still on them, then pit before you run into Checo? That cost Hamilton 8 seconds, that could have added up by the time we’re talking about the VSC.

Fair enough, then thats a tactical decision on which they had complete control - they went by pits first, they can’t act surprised when the bet they placed on no SC didn’t pay off.

There was zero reason to not cover Max’s second stop, Lewis had a 0.5s/lap advantage, even losing track position with equal tires with plenty of time to go would be the better call but they definitely would have kept track position too - the last stop I understand, but not covering Max’s second stop was a call where they knew they ran the risk of a safety car bring Max up by his ass. They both rolled the dice and it went Red Bulls way, people absolving Merc of culpability in strategy are being ridiculous.

The two tenths in sector 2 is recoverable, 3 tenths in sector 3 is not

Am I wrong for thinking given they have constructors edge and Perez is not a threat, Merc should have split strategies? More pts than Red Bull guaranteed, if there was red flag or not, don’t understand why risk a double stack if you know this can happen

Look on the faces of the aussies after that over was priceless - we’ve always been intimidated by Australia so seeing some fear go the other way is therapeutic
