Great drive Oscar, not an overuse of the word "great". He had to come back from the George Russell lunge and calmly reassert himself once his tyres had come into the window and Russell's were fading. Really quick, really assured, he's a weapon. Lando has had a really messy weekend so far, it was good to see him knuckle down after getting done over by the Ferraris when he didn't think his racecraft through properly. Then there's the McLaren - absolutely stunningly good. It will be interesting to see if the GP will be frustrating for the drivers out of position, or whether they can use the generous DRS zone to good effect. The runners in P1-5 in front of Oscar are all serious racers but that McLaren just looks perfectly balanced on this circuit.
To the naysayers bagging Lando, he is still the lead McLaren driver and we should heed the scenarios of recent races where Oscar faded quite badly in the races. With the development and understanding the team are bringing to the MCL60B and some quite favourable tracks ahead, there's every reason to hope Lando (and Oscar) will be providing the real competition Max has needed all season. The SkyF1 coverage seemed to miss the point that for once, Max had been beaten fair and square to a better overall package.
