As nothing else has been posted, I figured I’d open this up to discussion.
A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7.
How’d everyone else enjoy it?
I enjoyed the race. Being honest Max was on his own race as usual, but not that far.
The fight ALO-HAM was very intense, many many laps doing qualy laps each other and putting pressure on the rival. ALO managed the gap brilliantly IMO given the circumstances (lift&coast)
Ferrari’s dice was right in this race 😄 Very good and consistent race pace, just marginally slower than podium cars on a diferent strategy. Kudos to them.
Albon: Driver of the Day on merit.
Plenty of action in the race despite the DRS trains
I am loving the Hamilton Alonso competition lately.
I was worried for Alonso, when Hamilton is behind you and you’ve got any vulnerability the Jaws theme starts playing in my head.
When Alonso said on radio “leave it to me” was a great moment.
He’s such a cool cucumber, but he’s really got the talent to take on Hamilton and not be afraid of the outcome. There’s only a handful of drivers that wouldn’t shy away from that, but he’s definitely one of them.
