I wonder if the ‘marathon not a sprint’ thing on the radio was a bluff for Perez’ ears and he just decided to go all out for the win in the knowledge Verstappen was not scoring.

Huge gamble if so and it didn’t pay off. Could be costly later in the season.

Second major rookie mistake from hamilton this year. When chips are down everyone's vulnerable to mistakes. Some balance is restored in championship at least, even if a net gain is still in his favour.
He will be kicking himself is Max wins the championship! Lol that was at least 15 points in the bag!

Baku delivers again. Hamilton went straight, brakes too hot...Such scenes! Vettel still has it man, now he is like the underdog people are surprised when he does well. Great race...

Did they send Hamilton out with the wrong brake blanking? What the hell? Why were Hamilton's brakes so hot?

Alonso somehow finished 6th he was running 11th in the middle of the race. Great race from him.

Huge mistake from Lewis but it doesn't matter because Max isn't there to score points either 4 points the gap and no flexi wing for the rest of the season
Well, when they ban frontflexi as well, they will be matched.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows
