I reckon, FWIW, that Mercedes gave it away and Ferrari picked it up.
I was getting to the point where I was watching what was going to be a boring procession. There were few contretemps in the opening laps and it was going to follow the formula (no pun intended) to its conclusion.
I was about to have a post-gardening shower.
Then Hamilton pitted, not because he needed to but because the strategy wallahs (SW) told him to.
A few laps later the SW smashed his fist into the deck and the rest is history.
Not a motor race, but reasonable entertainment nonetheless.
Not the sort of thing I would have wished to get up and watch at 3am.
