Finally, I’ve been waiting 21 years for this…

Can’t blame him really, hope they can build on their current form. But from what I’ve been reading here McLaren got a bit lucky with their upgrade, fingers crossed.

There have been other proposals to allow each driver a limited number of DRS uses per race. The driver can choose to use it wherever they please, in attack or defense, but after x times used it is unavailable for the rest of the race.

Coupled with a penalty increasing the higher up you qualify, I think it would be great to level things out a bit.

22 seconds on his teammate while starting 4 places behind him…

Perez was already nursing a problem, if anyone was driving dangerously it was him.

I’m afraid that’s not going to change anything. The downside of the budget cap is that other teams can’t spend enough to catch up to the team that got it right. Red Bull being able to shift their focus to next year this early on just means that the budget penalty for winning doesn’t effect them. Where others have to spend on upgrades to stay competitive in this year, they just get a chunk of money to spend outside of the 2024 budget.

By the time the other teams have caught up, FIA will have changed the rules again and the cycle starts over.

One of the favorite old tracks, hope it never gets removed from the calendar.

In the hands of Verstappen yes, with Perez not a guarantee

For his overall finishing position, certainly, but his main objective will be to finish ahead of Tsunoda consistently.

Not as exciting as I had hoped, but still a decent race.

I don’t see Red Bull stoping at just 12 consecutive wins, it’s going to be a season for the record books.

Not bad from Ricciardo , out scoring Tsunoda after being hit by Zhou at the start
