Well, that was an interesting race.

Scary beginning, relatively normal middle, then a banger of a last 12 laps with 4-5 cars all fighting for that 3-4 spot.

Great drive by Checo as well. I thought he was going to be stuck in the bottom half of the top 10 but then pulls out a P2!

I wasn’t able to watch the race, but saw the highlights last night. Looked like a fun one. Scary accident in the beginning though, and glad everyone made it out ok.

Not to move on from Zhou's crash too quickly, but I hope it doesn't hurt his confidence. Two Q3s in a row, would be tough to see fear temper that pace

I haven’t watched a ton of races but that has to be my favorite I’ve seen. Granted I was able to skip through the red flag but whatever.

Bad day for Mercedes today as both Hamilton & Russell wreck their car in Sprint Qualifying.

Man I wish Mick could have stayed within a second of K Mag. I think he would have held Lewis off for the rest of the sprint.

Watching Checo fly up the field in just 23ish laps, tells you how much Red Bull’s car is on another level, than everyone elses
Not really though. It’s clear Red Bull and Ferrari are a pretty close 1/2 with Mercedes a tick behind. Those three are clear of the pack for the most part.

Not saying he couldn’t have made it all the way up to 5th, but it’s worth noting that he jumped to 8th right out of the gates largely due to the Hamilton/Gasly incident and Alonso DNS. He would have had a lot more work to do otherwise, so there was some luck involved too.
