VER had an early scare but recovered quickly and definitively. PER with another recovery drive but this one was not as impressive as the last one.

NOR and PIA stamping their authority on this race as the second best car on the grid. NOR scoring the first podium for the team and PIA finally showcasing his potential. A very good weekend for McLaren.

HAM and RUS brining in some good points for the Merc and HAM getting a podium to boot. Merc will walk away happy from this race. But they have a McLaren problem to chew on in the future.

Ferrari going backwards yet again and just about staying in the points. Strategy was lacking again and this time it seems the car struggled too. LEC was a bit unlucky but SAI was hung out to dry. Getting overtaken by a Williams. The drivers really need to grab the strategy calls away from the team.

AM were nowhere in this race. The early promise seems to have withered. ALO outperforming STR by a mile yet again. The penalty for STR didn’t help. STR needs to push harder and more sensibly.

ALB getting really lucky with that safety car but was a strong performance before that too. All the safety car did is sealed some points for the team. Good on them. SAR not doing too badly this time, needs to keep delivering like this.

Not a good outing for Alpine, Alfa, Alpha and Haas. Just another day ending in y for Alfa and Haas but Alpha and Alpine will be wondering where their pace has gone. The only silver lining was BOT gained quite a few places given where he started.

Decent race. 7/10.

Ferrari ... Strategy was lacking again

Shocked, shocked I tell you!

Ferrari’s strategy seems to be to over strategize and under deliver.

Brilliant in their first year back in endurance and miserable in F1. It’s so bizarre.

They didn’t even release their cars into the pit lane in the correct order. Mind boggling and I’m sure frustrating for SAI.

I was expecting them to be stronger but the car seems to be worse then the merc in race pace, okay in quali, so any strategy mistake amplifies poor performance. Doesn't help that the merc, aston and now mclaran seem to be on point and take advantage of any mistake of their rivals...

They really need to clean house. The strategists are atrocious.
