Hamilton will pass. We should have put new tyres.

It wasn't meant to be in the end. Got lucky in Miami, got unlucky here. Car showed good pace at times though so not all gloom. Mercedes having good pace here made it a bit more difficult but still got good points over Ferrari and RedBull.

Good result, shame about the safety cars, Lando was flying at the end of the first stint, that was his time to win the race.

Good race in the end. A shame NOR was super unlucky with the safety car. I don't think it is a great thing that they throw SCs as leader passes the pitstop entry (they did that in Miami as well but didn't get the SC on track in time).

Great points for the constructors.

Too bad Sargeant can’t drive. We would have gotten a 1-2 without that.

So what I deduced from this race. Rusell doesn't have as good as a race pace as Hamilton. Max was double lucky today with the Safety Car and the wet pit exit. Mclaren should have gone for new mediums.

Still an okay result.

Safe to say McLaren have decent race pace aka looks after its tyres?

Could Norris had done more to help Piastri secure 3rd?

No idea why the 2 lap newer mediums didn't work today when Lando was better in Miami on older mediums.

No. He barely kept the 2nd place.

Disappointed but pleased all at the same time - Merc getting free pit stops really helped them - i think our race pace is still better. A Race without bad luck we could have won - I'll take that

In the end it wasn't amazing to be honest but with the track being all over the place it's difficult to judge. Overall, pace wasn't bad to be honest. Mercedes was pretty much where I would expect Ferrari to be here this time, so we had the challenge.

Let's see how it turns out in Barcelona. I expect RedBull to win by a landslide to be honest, but it will be interesting to see how it will pan out between McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes. Will be a real test on the Mercedes pace as well.

I think that would have been too risky plus there was always a chance VER does a mistake and NOR takes the lead.

in the race, McLaren are great, as I said, Merc is just as fast, if Hamilton was in Russell’s place, he could have won, Hamilton was one of the fastest at race pace, he just didn’t have a clear track at the end

I think we should be much better in Barcelona than here.
