As nothing else has been posted, I figured I’d open this up to discussion.

A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7.

How’d everyone else enjoy it?

    I know Max doesn’t need the help but my god Perez does not deserve that Red Bull put Norris in it or something.

      Put Albon back in that car, now that he has the experience. He’s proving how good he is at Williams.

      +1 for putting Norris in as a fan. However if I was Red Bull management I’d keep giving him one year contracts until be becomes a liability. They’ve got constructors nailed on and a clear driver hierarchy. It’s ideal for them.

        Yeah they need what Bottas was to Hamilton, up there but never making a serious challenge for number 1 like Rosberg did. Then again Max is so dominant that maybe fixing what’s not broken isn’t an issue.

    I can’t understand how Perez just couldn’t compete with Ferrari’s pace at all. Not his best circuit.

    Favorite moment was Alonso’s pit telling him Hamilton was just 1.9s behind. “Okay, leave it to me.” And then suddenly it was a 6 second gap.

      The strategy was scary! Maybe with Meckies off to a new team someone else is getting a say

        I think they used all the bad choices with sainz… although I can’t blame them, a race here with no SC was really an oddity.

    What the heck happened with Checo? He should have had a podium, but just got lost in a DRS train I guess?

      It seems like he’s just lost confidence or something… he’s not in the all time greats category but he should be able to push a little harder
