Brilliant win, strong driving.

Looking forward to the next race where everything resets and RB are slow in some peoples eyes again.

Oscar Piastri shows why he's the next big thing. Fantastic start eating Max for breakfast and showed him who's the best. Reminded me of Mika Hakkinen and his top starts.

Great job by piastri, he's so reliable out in front.
Great recovery from lando, not all that far behind considering he started in p10.

Didn't get to see an Oscar vs Max battle. Though that's 2 in a row Max loses positions at the start. He must be a bad starter.

How fast was Leclerc on 25lap old mediums though. That got him 3rd.

Max had good race pace, especially in the 5th fastest car.

Another tight weekend, having to put up with the nonsense about McLaren cruising every Grand Prix. This nonsense comes from those who, not long time ago, won every race by 30 seconds over the next team. What you have to put up with...

:lol:
I was talking about race pace though. I never doubted the threats in quali, as us McLaren fans know very well, new tyres mask cars weaknesses.
Yeah but RBs pace won't be much further back if at all and they are neck and neck. If Max qualifies ahead it's really bad news.
I have some bad news :lol:
Turned out alright though :mrgreen:

As Oscar said in Spa last year: “Clean air is magic.” Qualifying and race start will be key this year.

Very interested to see where we are all at when the track temps are high with the sun shining which I’m hoping for in Miami
