Ooooh Yes! What a race, so many changes and things.

Imho the track is fine with these new cars and the banked corner, you can overtake here and if you make a mistake the gravel is near.

The best part about the track. Small mistake you are penalized a small amount. Big mistake and you lose a lot. It's appropriate

Better race than expected, all I was hearing in the lead-up was how hard it is to overtake here. Didn’t pan out that way with some good racing.
Team ANTI-HYPE. Prove it, then I’ll anoint you.

Mercedes seem to have settled developmentally, strategically, technically, operationally and unfortunately "driverly" into a mid tier team.

What happened to Russel was unfortunate. A penalty maybe should have been handed out. I would need to see a different camera. Maybe Russel kept alongside when the position was already lost. But sad for him because he did a good drive to save his hard tyrws then recover and he was fast on the inters.
For Sure!!

9 wins in a row is something special. It's not only VER is performing really well (also in these conditions), but the reliability is there as well, impressive.

Sorry to say but as a Dutchman I found it one of the best live versions they’ve sung. Moving.

Pete can keep his sake

You know the season is boring when a race just ended and nobody is arguing about anything.

To all concerned, your favourite driver is not very good and did x thing wrong today.

Also, your favourite team has questionable leadership and needs to do better/worse to even the field.

Also, the race director should've/shouldn't have done x thing to affect the race in a way that pleases me.

Yeah, even though it had a chaotic start, not much actually happened. Max still looked like winning, rain or dry. Red flag restart was anti climatic too, and a painful wait to see it
