We all know that the situation is fixed, but, it is a travesty that Lance Stroll is on the grid.
Yep, the much-hyped season is going pear-shaped. To be fair, Verstappen was magnificent. But McLaren is beginning to show cracks. They may not be as bulletproof as we thought they were. Suzuka is a track that brings out the car's true characteristics. This is a track where any inherent flaw in the car cannot be masked.Quote:

Interestingly, Leclerc said he had to change his driving style to adapt to the Ferrari. Even so, he was only able to finish fourth. Hammy had a very dejected race, rear end snapping out of shape in corners. The Ferraris do not look anything like championship contenders at this point and the gap is only getting bigger with each race. Mercedes are not either but are better placed to recover into contention in future races.
That said, it was truly a boring race.
