Norris is usually faster than Piastri in races. Piastri also had damage and I think wing replacement.

Anyway Norris tyres will become better than Sainz soon. We may have a chance.

How are further penalties applied? How many strikes after first 5 second penalty?

Ignore me, I was thinking Sainz was on Meds.

I believe that 5th place is a good result compared to before. Ferrari is still slightly faster but today Mclaren was the 3rd best car after the upgrade. Beaten both Alpines, both Mercedes and both Astons by far.

Awesome job, overtaking Mercedes and even a bit of fighting with Ferrari. I really hope this indicates better times ahead.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Brilliant job by Lando.

Most promising to me is that the balance looks far better than they had pre-update

Great to see McLaren back up there, great race by Norris! And this comes from a hardcore Tifosi! :mrgreen:
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Come Hungary we will likely be the best of the rest behind Red Bull. The team has really managed to turn things around. Without Key and Seidl we are again a force to be reckoned with.

Fallows brought what he learned from Newey and it got AM to a decent start, but he can’t develop the car into anything better now that he has to do it without Newey and Mercedes seems to have lost its mojo. Only Ferrari is up to pace and I see them as our only competitor going forward from here. Hopefully next year we can bring the fight to the Bulls too.

Great job team =D> =D> =D>

Best takeaway from the race - Lando beat Hamilton on track to take P5. No penalties needed.
