    Amazing to see the McLarens up there in the top spots based on actual pace in both qually and the race. Both of them got great starts as well, and Lando had the chance to lead his home GP for a couple laps at least. It seems the delta to RB was also less than in previous races, though it may be a fluke that McLaren was the one that gave Max at least a bit more of a challenge and made him work for it a bit. Things could change over the coming races, but it seems the competition is at least getting closer to the pointy edge at some races. Well deserved finishing positions for both drivers, even though Oscar did nothing wrong to lose that podium step. It must be a huge boost for the team to have such a weekend.

    Merc seem to have at least made up ground with the upgrades overall. Even if not consistent strength, they can dice with AM and Ferrari more often. If McLaren gets into the mix, it could get even more fun to watch for those top positions. I'm not quite sure what went on with Lewis, he didn't struggle to get the pass done on Alonso but after that made no more ground really. George had a good race as well, just less fortune on the safety car this time.

    I was also very impressed with the Williams upgrades and how Albon has done well lately. Logan is doing better as well. But Alex much be through the roof to both qualify and finish in the top 10, and he seems to be gaining confidence in the car.


    Donkeys of the race were Ferrari IMHO. Though they might be harder on the tires, they still kind of blew it in the pit strategies. They need to roll the dice and give the drivers a fighting chance now and then at least.



    Sergio is all but done probably. Too many races where he can't put that car where it belongs.
    Yea, what a drive from Lando? I thought Hamilton had him at one point but he dug in and powered away. The car has been transformed.
