Wonderful 1-2 for Verstappen, Perez, Red Bull and Honda! Great stuff from the finely honed machine!

Safe to say for future races if you start outside top 10 or out of position, do the hard then med/soft tyre.
Stroll did that strategy and still finished out of the points with a podium car... I'm not sure being overtaken left, right and centre by people who have pitted and fitted faster tyres is such a great strategy. It doesn't seem that what Stroll gained at the end of the race exceeded the time Stroll lost in the middle of the race.
True. Not sure what to make of Stroll at the minute. The car is there, clearly, he just seems to lack a little race sharpness for some reason. Probably because he isnt used to being up the top I dont know.
While I don't think Stroll is the best driver on the grid (by quite a way) I think he is quite capable of having a decade long career without disgracing himself, and if things fall well for him, becoming a respected driver.
He works hard at driving, but does not have the 1% flair that some champions have or that z factor some dive bombers have. To quote Coulthard when someone called him a hasbeen, If the alternatives are wannabee or neverwas, I'm cool with that.
He could luck into a championship with the right car and right circumstances, but its a hobby as much as a job for him. better than sitting around the pool with cocktails.
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.
