Mercedes are back. What a season we are in for if they can keep this pace up.

Carlos was so lucky today first with Max having problems then a gift of a SC would've finished 3rd without it

Stewards decided to not give out any penalties in this race?

There are new rules about crowding off the track this year and people have been gettimg pushed off all over but not even investigations.


Also yet another SC that removes a winning chance for Hamilton.

Also, Merc for the first time in 2022 truly showed actual competitive pace. Max and Lewis were exchanging fastest laps at one point.

Well deserved for Sainz!
Well deserved? He was consistently the slowest from the TOP4 all race long.
What a pity Ferrari keeps shooting themselves in the leg.

Why arent they giving perez a penalty? Leaving the track and gaining an advantage doesn’t get any more black and white as that. Even the precedent for “forcing off track” penalty has been set, by perez no less…. Wtf is going on

Ferrari made it unnecessarily difficult for themselves here... but that wasn't drive of the day stuff from Carlos, I think that one goes to Perez

First win. Guy deserves it at some point.

Perez had the best drive today for me. Last to P2

So Ferrari tried to lie to Carlos and tell him there was some rule where he had to leave 10 car lengths to Leclerc.... that's an insane breakdown of trust between the team and the driver. Unreal.
What are you smoking. They told him to make some space between him and Leclerc but to be aware that gap isn't more than 10 cars...

So unfortunate for Leclerc. He was so much faster than Sainz

Guess it was too much of a mess of incidents in quick succession; Perez was first hampered by Leclerc which made Perez lose a position to Hamilton, which he then regained by hampering Hamilton... maybe they were a bit lost on how to effectively fix that.

Perez was just on for points until the SC reset everything for him, more like SC winner of the day to me.

At least it wasn't a dull race. I'm dissatisfied with Sainz winning as he had an underwhelming drive and others put in more eye catching drives today.

Ferrari made a bad call for Leclerc by not putting him under SC.
