This for sure ! You completely nailed it !
HAM was easely 30 km/h faster on the straight . So why he didn't attempted there ?
HAM knew that MAX's tyres were overheated at that moment in turn 4 ..
By this he was thinking ...'THIS is my moment .
The world witnessed that HAM was/is pushed by a Rocketship in Warp-Speed !!!
MAX had *zero (0) chance by the Mercedes power and topspeed advantage .
If HAM and Mercedes takes a PU replacement in every of the 3 remaining races .
MAX has again ZERO chance !
But ...Of course , it's always a 5 P grid penalty . That Isn't a big deal with a fresh new Rocket Engine .
So why not Mercedes ?
The only reason why is the position on the gridstart and the 'RISK of OVERTAKING in the traffic ....
