As nothing else has been posted, I figured I'd open this up to discussion.

A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7.

How'd everyone else enjoy it?

I know Max doesn't need the help but my god Perez does not deserve that Red Bull put Norris in it or something.

    +1 for putting Norris in as a fan. However if I was Red Bull management I'd keep giving him one year contracts until be becomes a liability. They've got constructors nailed on and a clear driver hierarchy. It's ideal for them.

    I can’t understand how Perez just couldn’t compete with Ferrari’s pace at all. Not his best circuit.

    Good strategy from Ferrari? The end times are nigh

    Favorite moment was Alonso's pit telling him Hamilton was just 1.9s behind. "Okay, leave it to me." And then suddenly it was a 6 second gap.

    What the heck happened with Checo? He should have had a podium, but just got lost in a DRS train I guess?

    But what did Lando do though?

    My understanding is that he slowed down on the race track leading up to pit entry so that McLaren could double-stack him after Piastri. It's against the rules to deliberately go slow and impede like that.

    @WatTyler makes sense, but its sad that it wasn’t covered in the broadcast

    They did discuss it on the international (Sky) broadcast.
