What a good race. Plenty going on, some good racing in the midfield and they showed on the screen too, which is often not the case.

A couple of silly things - Stroll seems to have some brain-fade days. I wonder if Perez will get a slap for his move across in front of Gasly. I think they'll think it was a bit late. We'll see.

Good to have a decent race to break the record of wins. A dull one would have been disappointing.

Shame for Perez, would have been interesting to see how well he could do without Max punting him off.

Why do I get the feeling Racing Point put softs on Perez to slow him down a bit. They should have gone for medium's a second time the softs weren't working at all for anyone beyond the first few laps.

Either way wow.... Perez did amazingly beautiful racecraft.

Albons in trouble if they are looking at Perez and him.

Well if anything this weekend made it easier for Perez to showcase what he can do that was an amazing recovery effort.

After the first few laps, the softs were a completely useless tire.

Senna won his first race in Portugal.

Hamilton breaks the win record in Portugal.

Appropriate.

Perez moved up the field and was given the soft tired which weren't working on the track. On medium's Sergio would have kept the pace he had and Gasly wouldn't have caught up.

Perez was lapping on mediums just as fast as Max.

Plus this is silly season talk and they have said Gasly isn't considered for RedBull anyways.

True, as for the softs, I'm guessing they had no mediums left.

We’ll see. They can’t deny GAS has been stellar. If they indeed hold him at AlphaT that would be very stupid.
Team ANTI-HYPE. Prove it, then I’ll anoint you.

I'm hoping that's what it was I don't want to think the team would intentionally slow their driver down to help Hulkenberg. They keep doing off track things to help promote Hulk so I hope not.

Would be ashamed however others all still saw his amazing drive. Even if you did slow him down at the end on those softs. Intentionally or not.
