Oh dear. Looks like we have only an intra-team battle to look forward to for the rest of the season, meaning Saturdays will be more exciting than Sundays. The Ferrari engine failures are not just failures; they’re failures the team can’t get their head around.
Max underlined his superior race pace over Perez yet again, showing that now the pressure’s off on winning a title he can just show his race craft. Like a younger Hamilton, great driver but difficult to warm to.
George Russell is taking the opportunity given to be in what was a pointy-end of the grid car and showing what a great driver he is. Whatever the foibles of the Merc he’s driving around them to a certain extent. Vettel, once again, showing that a proper racer can turn it on when his team mate is witless. Stroll is at home next weekend and anything less than Q3 and finishing above Seb will make arguing for any extended presence in F1 difficult to justify.
A dull race up front due to the Ferrari exits but quite of lot of action further down the field and glad the director showed a lot of that. Given my first paragraph above that looks likely to be a theme this season.

Yes it does look like we might be in for a dull season which seems mad given the lead Charles had only a few races ago. Lets hope Merc can take the step up to add some competition or even better if Ferrari can sort out their issues.
The only puzzler is Checo being so fast in Qualifying. From memory he's never been that quick on the Saturday and against Verstappen who really can turn it on he's really impressing. I think last year he was something like 0.7sec off Verstappen in Qualifying so these new cars must just suit his style.

Lewis getting DOTD was imho, justified. No idea what damage was done to his back but appearing next weekend, I put at 50:50. Nice to see the Alpha T's going well and as has been said ^, lots of good racing throughout the grid.
