I wouldn't be surprised if Merc put Lewis on the soft tyre and Valtteri on the ultra soft. That way Lewis will have a long first stint while Valtteri will block for him. Then Lewis will have a fast car on the ultras in the end. It will be crucial for us to jump Valtteri at the start at least with one car. Otherwise Lewis might build a gap that will be too big to close in the end. It would be totally different had Valtteri taken pole instead of Lewis. Maybe Merc will make a mistake and miss this opportunity.
