The annoying thing at the start wasn't Max getting in front, it was George.
Exactly. Russel gifted this victory to Verstappen.

Let's see what we can do.

A shame Lando had a bad start, this would have been a much easier race if he had track position.
Yeah, I think the win is gone, but the car was really fast here. With track position in that first stint Lando would have had this one.
Yeah. Both are pushing and Lando is faster.

Eh, it fizzled out now that Max is also pushing, but he had newer tires.

It's closed by 4 tenths since I posted.

Ahh just gone back up. Streaming delay.

One whole lap stuck behind Stroll. He’s a top driver that boy

Strategy was suboptimal as well. They chose to generate an offset which costs race time

Well I concede, McLaren probably was the fastest car here. So unfortunate for that start. Track position and George Russell gave RedBull the win today.

EDIT: This bodes well for upcoming races and at least there's a comfortable cushion to Mercedes and Ferrari. Throwaway weekend for Oscar.

Unfortunately it didnt help that we started from the outside dirty start or the strategy was the ideal one.

There's not enough laps remaining, but this pace is super strong. He is the fastest car on track by some margin.

I think Max is cooling his tyres a bit.

Overall we are faster with some ups and downs in this last stint.

Not sure they are the fastest, well if so, joint fastest. There is nothing between Lando and Max at present.

This last stint Max had the advantage in terms of tire age, but Lando, so far, has taken 4 seconds out of him.

That's not joint fastest, Lando is clearly faster. Not by a huge margin, but he is the fastest.

Not even close, Red Bull is just playing with everybody, pretending to be weak. They instantly found 0.5 sec per lap when they needed

Lets not kid ourselves. The Red Bull is still a tiny bit faster by half a tenth. We need another good upgrade earlier.
