Well... at least we're still in the WCC. Leclerc deserved the podium, he drove great.
A bit disappointed with Sainz. Not sure if the puncture was his fault but even in the first stint he had zero pace compared to Leclerc. Bizarre because he was rapid in the sprint race.
There needs to be a serious discussion about how horrible the race direction was today...

I think it was another case of Sainz pushing and sitting in Leclercs DRS, leading to exacerbated tyre wear, which weakened the tyre and ultimately caused the puncture when he ran over debris.
LEC 2nd was born out of great tire degradation, which came from LiCo from lap 3 to lap 14. The first SC should have been an earlier VSC, but somehow Race Director screwups today benefited LEC. SAI very unlucky although he should have passed GAS instead of being hesitant into T1.
Stewards smoking something strong, drive through for speeding and 10s stop and go for yellows are the 2 harshest penalties given in the last 2-3 years perhaps?
The car wasn't good enough for 2nd, PIA was off pace and the Mercedes wasn't as strong today compared to quali or sprint.
