Congrat's to "The Boss"
I don't know if he would have won without the VSC.... Probably.....Who knows? I wouldn't bet against him.

A win for Hamilton. I'm sure he's happy to finally be getting his footing at Ferrari.

Great race by Hamilton.

Has Ferrari passed Mercedes?

Even though Antonelli had a car failure, George has to know that Antonelli ownes him.

Great to see Lewis back on the top step. Whatever Ferrari brought to Barcelona clearly worked because that car looked seriously fast all weekend.

First all British podium since Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill & John Surtees at Watkins Glen in 1968!

And first all English podium since Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn & Stuart Lewis-Francis at Oporto in 1958!

Barcelona tells a different story of how this season is going to pan out. The great Mercedes still has a gremlin with warm temperatures. A very rare thing to see Ferrari outsmart Mercedes with strategy. When everything seems to click, people work wonders, and Ferrari operated with surprisingly brilliant precision at Barcelona.

It was a sweet victory for Ferrari, but more so, it was sweet validation for Sir Lewis Hamilton. It was a victory that gave notice to Mercedes that this season may not be an easy one to win. Plagued with engine reliability in the face of a resurgent Ferrari spells trouble for the Woking team.

It would seem Hamilton has found his Italian Bono in Carlo Santi. This is a win that propels Carlo Santi into fame as he stars in the Hamilton roadshow. Santi stepped up and delivered the quality of support the seven-time world champion demanded. With such excellence comes the adoration of all Hamilton fans. In the end, Hamilton did not need Bono afterall.

Antonelli did not fail us, as he took the fight to Russell and claimed the second spot before disaster set in. Like Hamilton versus Alonso and Vettel vs Webber, Antonelli dents George's confidence once more.

The season is still long, and there are many tracks in hot climates. Mercedes may win it, but they are going to do so with Ferrari giving them a rough ride all the way to Abu Dhabi.

That was a good race. It's becomes increasingly obvious over the last few race weekend that Hamilton is going from strength to strength and Charles is looking a little shaken by his pace to be honest. It's been 4 years since we've seen Hamilton in this form. These rules certainly suit him better.

A small blow to Antonelli who is going from strength to strength. Still 41 points ahead of Hamilton but a lot of the season left yet. One more DNF and it's anyone's championship.

It is interesting how the Mercedes driver situation is the inverse of the Ferrari driver situation. At Mercedes, the youngster is getting the better of his older co-driver. At Ferrari, the old timer is getting the better of the younger co-driver.
Antonelli racing Hamilton would be something to behold. Hamilton has now won races for McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari. Can Ferrari mount a bid for one of the titles?

I still think it's too soon to say Hamilton is getting the better of LeClerc even though Sharl has had a nightmare few rounds.
