Hats off to Piastri - great drive to pass and latterly resist Leclerc then shoot off.

 

Points for Colapinto and Bearman too is superb stuff given their rookie introductions to F1. Not sure what Sainz & Perez were up to.

Feels weird that they now have a month off after Singapore, and just as weird Singapore had no safety car given it had until now been guaranteed safety cars.

 

But I guess that had to end sometime. Norris demolishing the field is what he needs, but he needed Verstappen to finish somewhere lower than P2.

I nodded off about halfway through was looking like a dull one ....

Oh I agree it wasn't an incredible race. Singapore is usually a bit more chaotic than that but it was all quite clean and professional this time.

 

There is an ethical quandry about Red Bull's junior team pitting Ricciardo at the end to take a fastest lap point away from Norris. Even if it seems to be in the duality of wondering if Ricciardo is now going to be let go and replaced for the final six races by Liam Lawson.
