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?

Such a great effort for Albon... easy DotD, and huge for Williams in the lower WCC battle. Hope it's a sign that the Williams upgrades are decent & we may see more of it.

Russell cracked under the pressure of trying to stay on the back of Alonso... absolutely insane that the car almost finished the race after that hit... I was surprised it finished the lap! F1 cars are made of strong stuff these days.

Max mega as ever... ominous that Newey appears to be fully invested in F1 again after a few years where he seemed to drift away.

Always difficult in a shunt to know whether the car is going to turn out to be made of adamantium or tissue paper. Can be either!

It feels like we see Alex getting great things out of the car, even when we aren't at low downforce tracks like this one. Hopefully when we go to Monza he'll have another chance to earn big points.

I think Max has really benefitted from an extended stretch of having the best car under him. Just having the confidence in the car seems to have taken him to a whole new level. This whole season he has just carried himself like a true champion.
