Max brings it home. I do not for one secpnd think he is struggling. Good job. I think he made the difference. More championship experience and all.
i think Mclaren was the fastest car this race, Norris just lost all the time at the start of the race getting stuck behind Russell and Max
I think they were equal, but Max is the better driver this race. Norris is quicker but winning cjampionships is more than being quick.

Serious pace from Mclaren, still Verstappen in a favorable position is hard to beat.

Lando lost it all on the start. I bet he still gets driver of the day, as most fans have no clue. On the other hand Max and Hannah won this race for RBR.

Yup.
Norris isn’t elite. That’s the reality, unfortunately. Too many basic errors at crucial moments.

I don't know what kind of Perez was on...3 stops??? Poor but I really don't think his head is in the game either. He should be finishing in the top 5

Three races now Norris should have won instead of Max. And I don't think Norris to blame, McLaren doesn't seem to know how to take advantage of their superior tyredeg.

Max had the better pace in the first stint. I don't think Mclaren had the right setup. It's quick in the corners and free air, but seems useless when following. Redbull of Max slightly the faster car, and had a buffer to manage his pace.
The race was over once Max passed George. No way Norris was coming back.
Max was just driving defensively, easy win.
For Sure!!

I think McLaren binned it with strategy and bad start

Max and RB pitwall are just superior, they can win even without the fastest car

good race, different strategies mixed things

With track position it surely would've been easy

Max getting past George in the early laps while Lando couldn't was the difference in the end because Max could manage the tyres and open a gap in free air. No VSC or SC also helped.

The more he fights at the front he'll stop making those little mistakes that are the difference between winning and losing

I would say it was quite a basic and no-brainer strategy they ran from the position they were in. Max’s clean execution was what won the race, with the pass on Russell when he needed to.
