Anyway, good start for the team and great overtake by Leclerc on Max.

Steady as she goes…

And there it is. Welp, it was fun while it lasted.

Forza Charles .. Great race ...

Back to back wins!

Great race by Leclerc. Really made mincemeat of Verstappen.

Probably another 1-2 down the drain though. Pretty stunning failure Sainz had.

But, it is what it is. Its just going to be one of those seasons(a normal Ferrari one) I guess.

Looked absolutely polished and dominant from beginning to end, but then the grenade they call an engine went off and the cracks show.

Thank the lordt we brought this one home.

Is the team risking too much with the engine? Reliability since Spain is really bad. Is it not wise to sacrifice some speed to manage reliability.

I wouldn't be surprised if they unleashed the "aggressive maps" again in this GP.

That is as dominant as it gets. And to do it on their home turf is pretty special. He overtook Max thrice? That's great to see.

Sainz got really unlucky. Was in for a deserved 2nd spot. The car was something else today. Hopefully it stays reliable as well in the second half.

Has sainz taken any engine penalties yet this year? (Not certain but I don’t think he has)

I presume he had all Pu’s in the pool?

“Free to fight” means “free to fight”.

Been that way since the beginning of 2021.

They made sure to give SAI an identical strategy to LEC this time though. Dutifully pitted SAI a lap later each time, with no counter strategy such as SAI not making a second stop and trying to hold on (I'm surprised SAI didn't ask to try go the end on the radio TBH).

Great drive from LEC! Always a special moment to hear the Italian anthem for race victory.

The reliability has started to even out with SAI having the troubles this time. If LEC's engine had blown a third time (rather than SAI for the first time IIRC) doesn't even bear considering! The political troubles and reaction of the press would likely be quite something.

Why wouldn’t they?

No need to mix up strat with Checo out of the race.

Pace was good enough on both cars to beat Max.

Because of Sainz playing games, calling to gamble on a contrary strategy on the radio etc? But great to see Ferrari with simple and well executed strategy this time.

It was a relief to see Sainz with the failure and not Leclerc, it keeps it fair between the two. (It was a relief to not see a repeat of the Nurburgring 24 hour flaming car rollaway too... Some quick thinking marshals with those wheel chocks.)

Sainz playing games? What are you talking about?

I swear, can’t even enjoy a win without stupid speculation and baseless criticism.

Reeks of insecurity.

This isn't really an engine power track, barely make 300kph in the straights. Ferrari was ahead because of better balance and better front tire wear. The engine blow up is likely the same thing that blew up in Spain for Charles.

Reliability is what it is...
