Leclerc is lucky he didn't end his own race, again. Another race of what could have been, had Verstappen raced like pretty much any other sane adult.

Lando finishing under 5 seconds behind Sainz, what could have been, I hope Verstappen has some engine failures now

There are plenty of positives to take from this race.

Both cars had good pace, Verstappen got two heavy penalties in wheel to wheel fight against Norris. Verstappen and Red Bull had no race pace (slower than Mercedes).

Norris reduces the gap by 10 points. If Red Bull doesn't improve their pace in next races Max will be under threat. We just need to qualify well ahead of him (Piastri needs to be there).

Piastri needs to get his act together and we might be able to save the WCC

Very bad race for the WCC but good otherwise. Can't afford having Oscar this far away anymore, he needs to be up there.

Piastri underwhelming?
Today, it is ok. Yesterday a big mistake.

I am glad that this whole fastest lap point bullcrap is over so not every idiot pitting at the last lap. Max Verstappen has to get a grid place penalty at some point.

He was quite bad in first stint. He needed to be faster against those hard runners. But he made up for it by staying long and then having good pace on hards. I like how aggressive he is in his attacks. It will help him a lot in his career.

Main note to take away for me, avoid Max and McLaren have the pace to fight Ferrari in remaining races.

Correction. We have the car to win all the remaining races but we need to be away from Max somehow and we need Oscar near us. By the way how are Ferrari and Red Bull in terms of motor units?

A good recovery drive from Lando. If he'd had a better Saturday or Max hadn't held him up, it could have been a win.

Good recovery from Oscar too. If he hadn't of screwed up his Saturday this could have been a strong day for both championships.

Regarding power units how are the Ferrari, Mclaren and Red Bull in terms of how many they can still use? Max should be at his last and it might be pretty weared by now.
