This decision took him of the fight with the Racing Point cars.

I think Albon did not get the best service that the Redbull pitwall could offer today.

I completely agree. All of the teams knew the hard tire was of no use in this race.

He may have got in between the two Racing Point and thereafter benefited from Perez's five second penalty to finish fourth. Redbull simply appear not to have the bandwidth to cater equally to the needs of both of their cars at race weekends. The other car to Verstapenn always appear to get a substandard service.

I think we see why most drivers to take that seat has struggled and failed. They have great drivers, they just need to take better care of them in that car.

It was a good weekend for Vettel, but that Ferrari car is shadow of its recent self. What a frustrating weekend for both Ferrari drivers.

Charles should have been sanctioned for driving an entire lap without seat belts .
Stupid to undo them , and even stupider to drive the lap without them done up .

I agree, it was the most boring race this season. But l was glad to see the Racing Point cars do well. The impact of Perez on the team was very evident. Hulkenburg also did a fantastic job for them l think.

Yes he did.

Lance tossed him under the bus when he mentioned on air that Checo had been told to hold station when he tried that move on him .

And , by the way , what was with Checo asking his team how his tires were fairing ?
I thought his rep was for feeling his tires , and keeping them good .

Big difference to Max , who asked for skins when his team didn't , and especially Lewis , who asked for yellows when his team wanted reds on his car .
Checo looked unhappy .
And , it sounds like he disobeyed orders .

Meanwhile , a despondent Seb says make up your mind to his team , and then nurses well overdone reds on his new chassis to the line .

And , then , pouting Checo says it looks as though he will be staying with the team .

Well, he ended up behind anyway. What a start by Lance though? He was up to 3rd after the first corner. A brilliant start to the race. Racing Point have two great drivers it seems.
