Stroll had a flat tyre through brushing a barrier and showed how knife edge this race really was. The tension in the last 10 or so laps was immense.

They must have been mentally exhausted by the end and showed why this is the greatest race on the F1 calendar.
I completely agree .

The only issue I saw was that they chose a much too durable combination of tire selection for this one , as even the mediums were good enough to make it to the end of the race without a change from the second lap .
That said , we didn't know it until the race was done , so the drama was still there .


By the way , did everyone notice that Max made up 0.0 positions after starting from a grid position 5 positions lower than his usual grid spot ?
And , Sergio , poor Sergio , finished up with 0.0 points , and a bill for 2 or 3 million bucks .
Newey must have seen the commercials , too .
