The Ferrari was crazy quick today. Shame this reliability issue is going to last all season though.

It certainly was - and importantly it was easier on the tyres than the Red Bull.
Before today I would have said that Red Bull was clearly the fastest car. It rare to see Verstappen slower in the race than he is in Quali, usually the Red Bull is faster in race trim
But the Ferrari was right in the zone today. Even Sainz was faster than Verstappen.

Happy for Leclerc - I don't see him being able to overhaul Max in the championship, but he could certainly take a few more wins during the year

Agree and it means red bull aren’t dominating. Yes they will potentially win back to back drivers championships but they aren’t getting it their own way like Mercedes’ did for a few years.

If the merc keeps improving we could have a good second half of the season even if max does piss the championship

I'm far from an expert on these things, but a friend was talking about the upcoming regulation changes to do with the rigidity of the floor and skid block.

Apparently, the tolerance was only measured at two points along the beam and there's talk that Red Bull and others have had to make changes to be compliant.

It might explain why some cars appear to be getting quicker while other may not appear as quick; I suspect others on here. including yourself, will know far more.

A €10,000 fine wouldn't bother any of them and it's suspended too. It's slap on the wrist letting them know to not do it again.

Rule change coming for the Belgian GP to address the flexing issue. I don't know enough to know how much of a change it will make. @longers will probably have a better idea
