I agree that the start was a cluster but the race, once it got off, was one of the better ones we’ve seen this year.

Lots of different tire strategies and even teams splitting their own strategies showing that things weren’t as well known as they hoped.

Congratulations to Max for the first win of the season and also a fantastic drive from Lewis where he had to tell the pit wall how to strategize the race after they started on the wrong tire..

Definitely turned into an interesting race with the mixed field.
Great drives by the Ferraris, big bummer for GR63.
I'd forgotten about LH's engine failure at Sepang in 2016, nearly in the same place IIRC.

It is Ferrari after all.

“What is this ‘race strategy’ you speak of?”
