A what if race for Lewis, if not for that incident with Oscar. Basically was in front of Perez on that hard, and well in it. Great recovery drive. As for Russell, pretty meh. Turns in on Max, ruins his race, and then ends up beaten by Lewis after qualifying third, and Hamilton having a puncture and having to come from the back.
Lewis had a great race, I mean he was feisty enough and that car felt alive in the first stint, but is there an indication that he could be on Checo's pace throughout to the end? I mean in terms of telemetry. Because if yes, then theoretically he could even fight for P2. Hard to decipher though, not much of clean air running to be sure.
While I'm slightly disappointed, I think outright race result matters less, the car was supposed to struggle here and it showed potential, I feel this is more important. Cautiously satisfied overall!
