That seems like a positive result .

And , though the Bulls had a difficult time , Honda still won the race .


That race was fun to watch .
It’s not a positive result Baggy. Firstly it was Botttas mess at the start that caused the race to unfold the way it did and the mess at Hamilton’s pitstop. Otherwise would have been a 1-2 for Mercedes comfortably.

Although it’s the same for everyone the rule difference has had little impact on Mercedes overall dominance and pace.

I am overwhelmingly happy for Pierre. I didn’t mind whether it was him or Sainz that won but given the appalling way RBR treated him last year he deserves this win. It must hurt some bit for RBR after they demoting him that he now wins before Albon 🤷*♂️
