Interesting race.
BOT clearly the fastest.
Not Max' weekend with slow laps at the end but still managed 2nd and the wdc lead.
And good result for Checko

And no retirements

YAY!!! ..

Very composed race considering the weather conditions. Vettel couldn’t even drive his car with the hard tires and had to go back to intermediates after one lap.

What was up with Max's steering wheel? Couldn't make it out on the audio.

I also didn't understood that.
He said that it was hanging on one side.
I don't know if he means that it's not centered, or that the car pulls to one side or that turning in in one side is less strong that the other side.

The Merc's pace is just ....WOW !

BOT ran MAX on almost 15.8 sec.

HONDA must wake up in the next races ...

[M5Rick]

That's what I'm talking about!

I think it's got the ''bends''

Trying to push Checo into the pit lane, you can't do that hammy LOL

Checo ran his best race this season.

Yuki did terrific until the spin.

Sainz channeled Alonso and deserved driver of the day.

Danny R back to earth.

Mazispin continues to exhibit colorblindness for blue flags.

Gasly sandwiched as usual, put up less of a fight than Yuki against Hammy

Max used best efforts to stay awake and keep his steering wheel on after it fell off.

Bottas should give Hamilton his pole trophy back since he got another one today.

Hammy had a rocket with a 30 kmh top speed advantage, he made good progress initially. With that type of advantage, he expected to win. I don’t blame his emotional reaction but a bit more decorum from the 7x WDC would be welcomed. “I did the best I could with the advice I was given” Blame culture creeping in.

Unsung performers: RBR pit crews performed today.

Stewards: Bad call on the Gasly/Alonso incident. Gasly was robbed of P5.

You can when the FIA is in your pocket. Checo should have taken him out!

The Merc's front wing slats look suddenly so straight . This means less of downforce while they looked like glued on the track !
I don't get it !

Meanwhile Mercedes still runs with the flexible front wing ...FIA ?

The Merc's pace was a warp-speed jump !

HAM ran a very bad race ...
And WTF was wrong with MAX's steering wheel ?

Best race so far by Checo . Good job man !

New PU okay but then plenum chamber draw more air/gas sensor, bendy front wing and possibly something else but this wears out their crankshaft and valves at a big rate then they lose hp according to RB advisor.

He would need 8 FP sessions to make up the deficit before the 2022 season. I'm not sure that any team would invest the time and the money to cover that would be 1-2 million per session. I'm not certain he has that kind of backing!
