WHAT A RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A RACE so many emotions so conflicted! I thought for sure Hamilton was going to be 14pts ahead of Verstappen, then neither score at all. The constructors championship has swung in RBR's favor with Perez's huge win. Huge huge drive from Perez. Shame for both Hamilton and Verstappen, they did everything perfectly but those second rate Pirelli's....

What a race though, what a podium, well done for Alonso and Tsunoda for bagging some points. I'm so conflicted, but also very entertained.

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

Karma
Some fans never cease to amaze me.

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.
Because RB’s front wing doesn’t flex does it 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hamilton asked if brake magic was on...It was and if effects braking. It’s Hamilton’s fault that it was on but it explains such a silly mistake.

Leclerc had the podium in his grasp there - was clean past Gasly, don’t know why he didn’t cover the inside.

Good on Checo - he possibly could had the lead at the first stop if not for the suspiciously slow pit stop, so deserved some luck.

Awesome Vettel, great job, love to see him vindicated after all the criticism.

Lewis left his "brake magic on or knocked a switch and that alters the brake settings

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.
Yeah was wondering the same. If so really poor choice
I completely agree. I’d have been pragmatic at the restart and taken the 15 or 18 points.

But then all gambles look superb when they come off and stupid when they don’t.

If it was a special braking mode it would make sense. Kind of looked like he wasn't going to stop into 1 when he locked up. It looked like break failure. But sounds like something with harvesting trick to heat the brakes. I'm sure Rosberg will have something on his YouTube about it... I hope!
