The team was right. Much better race pace than in a single lap. Both drivers excellent as well!

How was it now again, have Ferrari a better car? 😆
They have a faster car. No point in denying that since McLaren has been beaten every qualifying session. But they eat their tires like crazy on the race, so they can't live up to the car's potential. Same happened in Portugal.
I don't think that means they have a faster car. They could be setting up for quali. Race pace is what matters

Is it the faster car though? Usually the faster car is the one that gets more points in the race. The championship positions usually speak for themselves to who is the faster car.

18 points with such a tight Championship is Huge!

Excellent race for the McLaren boys. Riccardo still has a little work to do, but it's coming, bet he enjoyed passing all those cars!

Ye of little faith! Ha ha ha

...what a lot of us thought would be a bad race turned out to be one of our best this year! Ric finally showing up PLUS ferrari with zero pts! 16pt lead in the constructors!

Looks like updates helped race pace and tire management. Hope they work even better in the next couple of races!

He was decent today. Lando had the better strategy so the gap between them at the end is not representative. Hopefully he keeps this up into Austria. We need both drivers right up there when Ferrari has off-days like this.

Great race by both NOR and RIC today. We showed yet again that our race pace & tyre menagment is quite better than our performance in qualy so overall I'm very very pleased with todays result. Ferrari did not score any points so a big win for us today.

Ferrari is going to be a big challenge in Austria, higher altitude means high drag cars will have better straight line speed.

Btw we forgot to mention the pitstops, great work by the team. Ricciardo had a 2.3s pitstop when undercutting. Gasly did a 3.1s.

Well it didnt materialize in the previous races so whats wrong with that statement?
Finally running more df payed off, and ferrari being punished for running less

Another thing to note is that this makes another race with Lando in the points… His run of point finishing races continues! If I’m not wrong, he has also finished higher than his starting position in every race this year
