    You were right!
    Vettel also gets leclerc
    The 2 stop was the optimum strategy
    Bottas also in for p7

    Neither Max or Charles had a chance with the people behind on fresh tires. Until the last couple laps of catching up, I was at least hoping there would be some fight left for the leading cars. Lewis was so close on the final corner that Max may as well have just waved him by.

    81st victory. 10 behind schumi.
    That was some drive.
    Reminds me of the 2008 hockenheim win.
    He smashed those laps coming from 21seconds back with 20 laps. A wc drive.
    Max drove well. That rbr and honda engine are now legit. Easily overtaking ferrari. It really puts into question what went wrong with mclaren. (I say ron dennis)
    Vettel with another stellar drive. The redemption tour continues.
    Sainz again does well. As did Nortis
    Kimi always incredible
    Congrats Albon

    In all fairness, Kimi had a great race and is probably one of the best defenders in the current field. The Iceman knows how to keep them guessing, and knows where to put the car.



    This race was quite revealing IMO as to where the cars stand. Even without DRS Lewis could gain on Max down the straights. Even though RB was on top for qually, it seems the car is a little harder to drive than the Merc, which is well planted. Ferrari are at least equal to RB or Merc in straight line speed, but the low speed corner gap to the other two seems to be widening, yet the car still isn't really good on tire wear.

    Another strong showing by Mclaren, though the top three have put distance on everyone it seems.

    And another race that has me questioning why Stroll, Grosjean, and possibly Giovinazzi are still in seats. Granted Racing Point needs the money, but sooner or later daddy is going to get tired of paying for a losing battle.

    A great victory, nearly rivalling Schumacher in 1998 here which still remains one of the greatest drives in the history of the sport.

    Sorrt Max, mate. Maybe this may teach him to reign in his comments until he has actually achieved something noteworthy in the sport.
