Would you agree to most of the remarks, the guy in the video makes about Leclerc´s defensive skills in wheel to wheel fighting?
I saw him in formula two before and there I also noticed that he is extremely skilled when it comes to "defending his own ground" and in attacking/overtaking.

It was a really great battle, that much is for sure. But I do think we've had some sexy battles in recent years too. "best?" Best is subjective. But it was ONE OF the best for sure.

It is good not the best one. It all depending on the car and its technology which currently F1 cars using it.

fuel saving, car saving, Tyre saving, budget saving... all contributed to recent boring F1 races.

Which team using current F1 technology in road cars? Don't know where f1 is going.....

selvam_e2002: no need to try to start a "I don't like F1 in its current format" argument in this thread. There are plenty of other threads where that is ongoing.

RB vs Renault was pretty good. McLaren vs Honda might have been slightly better. Haas vs Rich Energy ever moreso. But Kimi vs drinks bottle rules them all.

It feels like they have already raced this year harder and more often then Hamilton and Vettel against each other for the past decade. The future looks bright!

Exactly. Same as best driver ever, it´s an endless discussion wich IMHO has no sense. One of the best ever

IMO 2014 Bahrain was still the better battle, because:

- It was for the lead
- teammates
- the best car of 2014
- eventually the two title contenders till the final race

If you took a picture of that battle, it would describe the 2014 season in one picture!

That was also the first time we really found out the true pace of that car. Something like 2 secs per lap if iirc whilst fighting.
