What a joy to watch a race what the top three top four are all within 2 seconds… well deserved win for Ferrari and Sainz, what a shame that Russel made a mistake in the last round and great effort by Norris. Hamilton was also looking very fast in the end, even faster than the rest of the front runners I think, just a joy to watch a race like that. Maybe we should just exclude Red Bull for the rest of the championship as they won both titles already basically 😂
Haha I been saying that, just DHL them both trophies and be done with. Red Bull can even save money for next year by skipping travelling the rest of the year!
And the camera crew this year was smart enough to exclude Verstappen from coverage until the very end, Max got more screen time tonight than any races this year running mid pack. This race tells so much about the importance of the car, even a driver as talented as Max was just a sitting duck all race.
And the advantage of running 1st in clean air is clearly shown today. Sainz and Leclerc are running the same strategy, but since Sainz is in the front, he dictates the pace while Leclerc is forced to run in dirty air all race, and he simply used up his tires more quickly that way and ended up 20 seconds behind.
Leclerc and Russell are the riskier drivers of the young guns, they do make more mistakes at times. Tonight is a prime example for Russell, he is super aggressive and just took too big a bite trying to open up the corner and tagged the wall. Norris tagged it too but he wasn't as aggressive, difference likely going be measured in cm if not fraction of a cm there.
Lawson is mighty impressive as a stand in. Trying to picture him in a more competitive car........Dream would be next to Max in the Red Bull, but Jos, and Max definitely won't allow it, as lawson might upend Max's number 1 status there. Mercedes and Ferrari is full, so is McLaren. Only better team for him would be Aston, but daddy definitely aren't booting his own son for a serious upgrade in driver talent level though. Poor Lawson.
Williams could swap Sargeant for Lawson, but Sergeant do bring with him American dollars........
