As the sprint race result sets the grid for Sunday the most sensible tactic is to have your second driver take out the best driver from the opposition so they are shafted for the Sunday race. So Bottas needs to target Verstappen & Perez needs to go for Hamilton. Or maybe delegate one of your affiliate teams to do it.

The main contenders certainly can't afford to take risks in the sprint race.

You can see why Lewis is predicting a train https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/hamilton-silver...

Starting both races with optimal tyre strategy does not signal excitement. We must keep our fingers crossed for a wet weekend, but it is not predicted at this moment.
