Piastri is a threat here

That was some drive from Russell.

Fair enough, have a feeling Hamilton could have pushed a lot harder on the hards in that race given how tyre deg was

Yeah, did not see him holding on to that, great drive, great race.

Fun race. It proved to be a lot harder to overtake than the teams seemed to think.

Wonder if Perez survives the Summer break. McLaren closing in on the Constructers.

I don't think they can afford to. That was his best w/e in a while, and he went from 2nd to 8th, whilst Verstappen went 11th to 5th. Lando and Oscar are picking up too many points atm for RB to have such a weak link and still win the WCC.

Ruh roh, Russell maybe underweight

[longers]

Damn that's harsh

Explains why he held Hamilton off, and nobody could understand how at the time.

Not sure it was that much of a factor relative to the fact the DRS zone was shortened and Hamilton was running a bit more wing. No one could pass today. Hamilton was 7 tenths quicker and then just stalled out behind Russell and started lapping at Russell's pace.

Yeah Max and Lando were stuck behind a much slower LeClerc for a long time at the end. No one could get overtakes done.

Russell disqualified?

Hamilton takes 1st.
