Want to know what happened to norris, haven’t shown replays yet. Seems like he got back past Albon, but then lost out to Albon and Perez shortly after

Low speed out of the corner because of the fight with Albon.

Look how easy Verstappen passes us on the straights. Honda definitely a better engine than Renault atm.
Have you ever heard of DRS? Sainz just let him pass.
You see Leclerc having DRS? He’s not blazing past Bottas or is he?

Its not his pace, its the tires. He is doing very well keeping Hulkenburg back. He always gets down to 0.2 secs but he cant get passed him. At some point softs will degrade...

His tyres cause him to have bad pace, that’s what I meant

Time penalty for Magnussen, if Lando can stay within 5 seconds of him that will be a one place promotion.

Such a pile of bull. Today Sainz's 5th place and Norris's 6th place was stolen. Anyway. We still won something at least.

The glass half full take. P6 and P8... The positions we would have expected at the start despite the extremely bad luck with the safety cars

That’s F1, it happens, still a good day at the office... Increasing the gap to Renault. Carlos off the mark after the winter break.
Crossed the 100 point threshold as well...

Oh, ye of little faith!

Credit to Lando for hanging on ahead of Hulkenberg on inferior tyres for so long, Carlos didn’t put a foot wrong all day either. 12 points for the team, a good haul particularly because of a poor day for the two Renaults.

Good result considering the safety cars.

I suppose you are right. We were lucky with all that bad luck in the end. Fantastic defence from Norris and a solid drive from Sainz. We increase our gap to our followers and we continue to the next race. BTW Vettel is really such a spoiled child. That was dirty from him today.
