I think Norris is the fastest man in Formula 1 today. Very raw talent. His pace was crazy in the first 2 stints.
For Sure!!

Oh men, that was tense. Overall a deserved win as Max did everything right in the crucial moments.

Good race. Think every driver in the top 5 had a mistake or more today. Good to see George fighting back and re-claiming the podium, he needs to show that resilience.

“A deserved win” :lol: :lol:

The guy got 10+ seconds on his head in 5 laps before Sargent decided to act like Latifi…

Showed how to bottle a win and he knows it hence why he was very disappointed on the radio as he should be, to only gain 2 points on his team mate when he was Pole vs P7 is a body blow.

Mercedes should have put Lewis on a soft. Unless he didn't have any new ones.
Congrats Max. Big difference in quality compared to Russel. He didn't squander his chances. He got lucky with the safety car and Norris, but he did have the navigate and made less errors.

Hamilton needs to improve his qualifying. He is definitely the best driver in the team still.
Putting him on the hards was to prevent the fight with Russel. He could have won on new mediums.
Lewis was adamant over the radio over and over about not wanting to go onto the hards, he wanted the softs and Bono told him no
Amazing wasn’t it. Unreal how he’s basically getting nuked by his soon to be ex-mates

WHAT A RACE!

Best race of the last 2 seasons by far. Absolutely tonnes of action start to finish.

Max clinical as always. Thats what gets the win. Norris was a rocketship on the crossover and left RBR standing. Not a bad race for George, few errors but I think Ringo summed it up well with the pace of the cars.



Ps.. can we have Mazepin in Perez's seat please!

And started P2. Rb20 was very much equal in this race. Removing Norris monster pace from the equation, Max was quite comfortable. His experience and car control was the deciding factor. Nothing special from him today, but he held on.
Russel and Norris showed their inexperience today.

Russel is crying on the inside. Poor guy. Well done by him to get the podium. The race was treacherous.
For Sure!!

Everyone considered upper echelon went off/jumped over some kerbs at 1 point in this race, so it must’ve been tough. PIA was the only 1 that kept it between the lines if my memory serves.

This is nowhere near the heights of Bahrain 2022 or Silverstone 2022. I'd argue Singapore 2023 and Monaco 2023 were better too.

It was a great race though.

Leclerc made no mistakes as far as I know.

Hamilton wasn’t nuked by his team… he didn’t have any medium tyres and his race engineer mentioned softs wouldn’t last till the end.
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

He wasn’t showed that much given his position. F1TV users can replay his onboard so someone will point out if he did or not.
