Mercs only hope is the medium tyre falling apart before the end.
On the other hand, RB can pit Max for softs as long as he can clear Russell. If he's 5 or 6 seconds back from Hamilton with 10 laps to go that's easy.

Less Horner and less Rosberg all the better

It seems more than a coincidence that this new pissy attitude from Red Bull emerged after Mateschitz died.
The old boy sponsored so many normal and extreme sports, I think he'd encourage sportsmanship above all else. I doubt he'd support Marko's bombastic threats and Whinger's teenage tantrums. One wonder who, if anyone, is providing the guiding hand in the Red Bull stable.
Frankly, Marko and Whinger are such... small people.

Stefano Domenicali visits potential F1 destination in Colombia
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali visited the city of Barranquilla in Colombia, with plans for a proposed semi-street circuit moving forward. The city’s mayor Jaime Pumarejo said that they are on the right track to sign a 10-year deal with F1. That would mean that Colombia will join the calendar in 2024 or 2025. Colombian newspaper El Heraldo reported that Stefano Domenicali arrived in Barranquilla in a private jet earlier in the week. Domenicali is currently in the American continent after F1 went racing in Austin, Texas and then in Sergio Perez’s home, Mexico.There were rumours that South Africa will also make a return to the calendar, however, it seems that talks are not resulting in positive news for Kyalami. Colombia are proposing a semi-street circuit, which will add to Monaco, Singapore, Melbourne and Montreal. The race will be branded as the Caribbean Grand Prix. This is because Barranquilla lies on the Caribbean coast while it is 1,000km away from the capital city of Bogota. It would be the second South American race on the calendar. Currently, F1 races in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and it has been the only South American track since 1999. The last time the continent saw two F1 races was 1998, when Argentina also made part of the calendar. The organisers tried to strike a deal back in 2013, with a proposed new street circuit. However, it seems that the talks didn’t end well between the organisers in Argnetina and Bernie Ecclestone.
Comments from Colombia
Despite positive signs, the mayor of Barranquilla Jaime Pumarejo is being realistic in the progress. He’s aware that a deal has not yet been struck, but they have hope. He said, “It is not yet a reality but we are in the race and we hope to reach the finish line. We do not want to generate false expectations. If it was signed, we could be talking about 2024 or 2025 and hopefully, it would be for 10 years. There are two semi-street circuits identified and approved – a plan A and a plan B. Both are within the metropolitan area.” This will not only put Colombia back on the F1 map but will also improve the country’s and city’s economic growth. Colombia has previously been involved in F1 through its three drivers: Juan Pablo Montoya, Roberto Guerrero and Ricardo Londono.Comments on the 2023 calendar
The 2023 calendar will be the biggest ever seen in Formula One. It will feature 24 races, with six additional sprint races which amount to 30 races in total. It has not gone down well with some F1 personnel, who will have to constantly travel and suffer from jet lag while trying to be competitive. Some also raised concerns about the car shipments, with teams struggling to have their cars arrive in time for the Grand Prix weekend on previous occasions. Stefano Domenicali said, “I think [the calendar’s] looking good, it’s great because we have a queue of people that want to promote Formula 1 around the world. Of course, there is a limit which we need to work together with our friends at the FIA. I think in that respect we have got to limit the calendar that is more or less on the air. So I don’t think we will be over 24.”

It's amusing to see the Streisand Effect of Whinger "Loser" Spice's media bans.
Next boycott has to be Matthew Syed of The Times.
