Man piastri has got ice flowing through his veins. Calm throughout the race under immense pressure and even after winning such a great race. Unbelievable temperament.

Yes I thought to myself half way through the race that is the new ice man.

He had like 25 laps with Leclerc behind him AND with DRS. Every lap I was look at that interval timer and it was close to 0.6s which meant an overtake opportunity or it was almost 1.0s which would have broken the tow.

Then LECs tyres fell HARD. The crash at the end was crazy (havenโ€™t seen Perezโ€™s replay but it seemed like his fault), however I feel like the last two laps would have been bonkers and I think Leclerc would have finished 4th.

Indeed, I think I was more worked up than he was just watching the race from my couch hahahaha

What a bonkers race. So much close racing throughout. Still in awe about the crash.

Piastri was fantastic. Norris from 15th on start to 4th was excellent salvaging by McLaren.

10 mega points for Williams! Points for Colapinto.

Bearman squeezes another point in.

Russell getting a random podium yet again.

What a race, I was glued to the screen from the start to the VSC period. Oscarโ€™s overtake and defense were brilliant, Leclercโ€™s defense against Perez before the crash was unbelievable too. What a race and racecraft.

This season seems like parts of 2009 and 2012 put together. The championship leaders have fallen hard like 2009 while 4 teams are fighting for wins like 2012. Great stuff

Oscar about Carlos & Checo: โ€œThey havenโ€™t been great friends this weekendโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Never change, Oscar, never change.

Oscar is that quiet friend that drops the sickest burns every now and then.

The slow mos of piastri and leclerc grazing walls and sliding out of turns is so sick. They were pushing each other to the absolute limit.

That synchronised drift out the last corner was amazing! Their reaction to that clip in the cooldown room was so funny.
