Wow! Nice competition. Hopefully there would be another small step by McLaren and it would be race to the end of the year. =D>

We just need them to be close for the rest of the season. This sport needs close racing, it's what makes these drivers the heroes of the sport.

When the cars are almost equal great races are sure to come. Might just have a championahip fight on our hands if McLaren can keep the pressure on.

Lando is driving pretty well, some little errors but very quick

Without those snaps in sector 1 a few laps before the end I dare say Norris wins it.

Thank god for McLaren, and I’m saying that as a Ferrari fan. This season is such a stinker. Maybe now there might be a HINT of competition, even though it doesn’t look like it’s going to come from my team.

They need to reduce Red Bull's CFD and wind tunnel time by a further 10% for 2025 then we'd have a 3 way fight for the championship

That was exciting. Too bad Lando couldn’t have that pace in the beginning. Mclaren is incredible on the hards once again.

We can as well take one wheel out of the Red Bull. #-o

Hopefully Ferrari can sharpen their new package too and get a couple more tenths to bring them back into it as well. If the drivers can stay withing 3-5 seconds on pace then it allows for exciting prospects if stuff occurs in the race

For a championship battle to exist the two drivers must be close points wise

Verstapen is something like 50-60 points ahead while clearly having a much faster car…

Let’s hope McLaren brings another package soon, then the season might get exciting for real.

Norris wouldn't have overtaken Verstappen with DRS anyway. Terrible amount of dirty air on this track.

Norris did way too many mistakes in the last laps, without those he might have won it. At this point I think the RB isn't even the better car now, but you need a better car to beat Verstappen.

I disagree. He was driving the car to the limit, what you see is controlling the car at the limit, not mistakes.

Great drive from Lando.
