For sure we have good pace. But don't forget that last year in Australia we also had good pace. This year however we were much stronger.
In my opinion, the thing that made this win possible was starting P2. In this way Seb could put pressure on Lewis and force him to use his car and force him in an earlier stop. If however Seb would have behind BOT and not able to overtake him, LEwis could pull a gap on BOT and therefore Seb, therefore he could manage his tyres more and perhaps not been forced in an earlier pit stop.
Seb started P2 because he did a good lap (not super good), and BOttas made a lot of mistakes..
We need to up our game in qualy or in race starts so we can use our race pace to full extent..
Also I don't trust Mercs, I still believe they have pace in the pocket but simply weren't able to use it.
