Absolute masterclass from Max. Was just leagues above everyone else.

Reminded me a bit of Miami last year where Perez thought he could fight for the championship and then Verstappen just KO’d Perez and left him limping the rest of the season.

Also greatly helped by the free pitstop.

There was a bit of luck involved but given the pace he had, he probably would have won anyway.

He also had to remain accident free while overtaking quite a few cars, in a race where there were crashes left right and centre. Sure he got lucky but he also made his own luck by driving an incident free race.

Say what you want about the guy, his attitude, or on track antics oft times, you cannot take today’s drive away from him. I’m not a fan of any of the former, but I concede, begrudgingly, today’s drive proved him to be one of the greats. The belligerent fastest laps at the end of it all were such a statement too. I can’t; I just can’t 😅
