In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
The team radios between both drivers at Mercedes during that safety car was Russell asking for more from the team, can he go on softs and can he go to Strat 9 at the restart. Hamilton was concerned about the buffer. Russell looks to have called it right here.
Alonso to finish P5.
But he's clearly being replaced as the top man. Both in F1 and now even within his team.
He should have tried another formula I feel.
Woeful from Perez, hanging himself out to dry on a car with a time penalty
Alonso Driver of the day.
A ferrari masterclass from mercedes today. Had a double podium locked up and they threw it away. Bizarre.
Perez is talking junk surely.
Max making it look easy, season over in effect.
Perez is an idiot, Sainz had a penalty
What? He’s out driven Russel for the last 4 months?
the man is a genius.
If you've watched F1 for long enough you'll know that Mercedes should have put Hamilton on new softs in line with the other drivers. It's a Mercedes feck up for not pitting Hamilton onto softs, it's as simple as that.
To be fair to Russel, he's had a cracking race. Alongside Alonso driver of the day easily.
Merc fecked it, you either pit both or you pit neither, it’s just ridiculous again and shows they have always been terrible in these situations. Ask yourself roles reversed if RB pit Perez and not Max in that situation?
One team is ruthless and one isn’t.
One team is ruthless and one isn’t.
Utter rubbish this race allows dhows he still wants to fight for wins.
Come on, if Merc wanted to give Lewis a real chance of winning today, they wouldn't have stranded him out there on mediums
Sainz will just about stay in the points?
They are not only far behind Red Bull with the car but also on strategy.
Even if Merc do ever make a decent car again, George is going for force the issue of being the favoured driver. He’s no Valteri.
How many points have the SCs cost Lewis this season...Australia, Silverstone, here?
Another wasted sunday afternoon watching this dubious shit. Max would have won anyway but we could have had a race.
SC messed this race up
But their original race strategy was better than RB’s?
yeah but he no longer has the power to sway decisions his way.
I'm not saying he's crap and can't win, I'm saying that F1 is moving on from him
Kinda how Ronaldo is still good but clearly doesn't have the same clout anymore
Then what are you arguing about? feck me. It was either pit neither if you think there’s a chance he wouldn’t pass both - which it turns out there was zero chance - or you pit both.
Max driver of the day, good call
They fecked up. I don’t think there’s a grand conspiracy here
Meh, Max wins with ease in the end.
Race decided by VSC and SC.
Russel made the right call and Mercedes said yes.

Merc showing that sometimes they are just as bad as Ferrari when it comes to strategy.
Verstappen HUMILIATING britain's best Russel and Hamilton in one race. The latter is used to seeing the flying dutchman zoom past him, Russel is getting a taste of what his bright future is going to be like: watching red bull car's ass.
What a day. Racing to an overwhelming second championship. I'm buzzing.

Maybe not, but 3 years ago they would have forced Russell to stay out there to protect.
Perez again proving again he’s a waste of time in a top team.
Hardly the majestic win Horner is saying it was.
George driver of the day for me.
George driver of the day for me.
No one is arguing ffs
The only strategy was to pit for new softs. You said there was other calls, there wasn't. Leaving both out and trying to win was never an option which is the point I was contending. The only option was to pit both. Mercedes didn't go this and only went with one call, and the results speak.
Ferrari were nowhere in this race
I think the mistake by Mercedes was probably not informing Hamilton that Russell was going in for softs so he couldn't make an informed decision on his own tyres.
They did everything right. Strategically majestic
Russell's call was last minute in the pits, Hamilton was past the pit box when Russell decided to come in. There was never an opportunity to make a call.
Except for going for the 2 stop?…
