Not whe best race but far from a parade so what I saw was entertaining at the least.
Fair play to a lot of the field for providing overtaking action up and down the field, not sure if the Mexican gp will be as good in that respect but only a few days to find out.
Max V was pretty outstanding coming back from a dire pitstop to prove he can peddle the current car just fine thanks, and RIP DM, he had a large amount of input into what is the modern gp field. Lewis worked away as much as possible but I cannot help wonder if medium tyres on the last stint would have been enough to be more competitive, never know now.
What chance a Merc win and can Leclerk get 2nd in the drivers championship?

The Red Bull was miles ahead of the opposition and only a one hour pit stop would have prevented the win. Not sure why DoD wasn’t given straight to Alonso regardless of any vote. Airborne, crashed into the barrier, limps back to pits, finishes well into the points. Good old fashioned style racing, that.

The real Vettel was in the building too, that last part of the last lap overtake was vintage Vettel.

Stroll is going to get thrashed by Alonso next year. I’m surprised that Stroll Snr wanted Alonso to drive at his team, an on-form Alonso is going to make Stroll look even more ordinary than at present. There are those who will say that is harsh. Not really, there are several drivers available who could do a better job. His weaving was unfortunate last Sunday. I hope that he simply didn’t see Alonso. If he had seen Alonso but attempted to block him, that would be alarming – one can’t do that when a car is drawing alongside. Stroll has got form for this, in Melbourne he was penalised for excessive weaving. It is an issue that isn’t penalised enough imo, the European blocking is all too prevalent in junior formula and a few drivers in F1 haven’t snapped out of it.
I don't blame the young drivers. They see others weaving every which way, and think that they must to it too. Weaving down straights is a poor excuse for racing.
Alonso's drive to the points was nothing short of remarkable. His Alpine took a fair whack against the barrier, probably had lingering floor damage and fell to the back. Yet he managed to fight back to seventh. Alonso never quits.
