Lando Norris has a chance for a podium but he will have to fight Rusell and Bottas. Hopefully he saved enough tyre.

Holy ---, I did not expect to be standing on my toes from anxiety this season, at least not this fast after witnessing Bahrain.

The team has turned it around from Bahrain going to the 3rd fastest team without bringing updates but only tweaks. A deserved podium and thank you Leclerc for the gift.

Fittipaldi knows something.

Unless he is a fkin prophet, then it was just a lucky guess. Because on pure pace there was no way McLaren could get a podium here :P

Either way, I am happy for the result. It would have been impossible to score this podium today if the team hadn't reacted as quickly as they did after Bahrain.

A shame how it went for Daniel. Looking forward to hearing what exactly went wrong there. Perhaps he had "invisible" damage from lap 1.

Daniels bad luck kind of made this happen, but still a great result.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

It just got mentioned on TeamStream that Daniel had diffuser damage and couldn’t get the tyres working, unlucky!

Yeah, Bottas hit him in the rear I think. And this year's cars are so much more sensitive to floor damage.
