With Racing Bulls figuring out the gameplan was simply "back the wagon up and let your teammate get a free stop", they managed to get both cars well into the points, with Williams and Mercedes following suit, including George Russell intentionally cutting the chicane and picking up a Drive Through Penalty. Did it work?
