Is the benefit of hindsight making Mercedes’ Mexican GP strategy look worse than it really was – or did the Silver Arrows just simply fumble their Sunday at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez?

Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm are joined by Edd Straw to dissect Mercedes’ logic, whether using soft-compound Pirellis was a no-brainer and whether Max Verstappen was always destined to win anyway.

Daniel Ricciardo’s resurgent charge, Ferrari’s brutally anonymous weekend, Fernando Alonso’s mounting Alpine frustration and Aston Martin’s frankly ‘pants’ outing are also discussed.
