The Merc was 0.7 seconds faster than the Fezz in sector 3 and even in sectors 1 and 2. I will see if I can find the exit velocities of the final turn somewhere but it doesn't look good. Combine that with the tires and you have a victory for Mercedes, no matter what.
Edit: DRS usually activated on Lap 3. HAM knows this and would have been out of range.
