Well managed by Lando. Didn't think would keep Oscar behind with that tyre offset.

One moment that almost ended in tears but they both drove well

Another 1-2! 200th win! Glorious. =D> =D> =D>
Amazing result!!! Great job by Lando and Oscar. Both deserved to win.

Btw I have to say, Oscar is quite lucky, two times already he was centimeters away from crashing both out. We are lucky Norris (Canada) and Oscar (Austria and Hungary) were not double DNFs. I hope they can reduce the level of risk they are taking.

I think Piastri lost his race with that lockup. He would have got it on the next lap if he didn't have that lock up.

Last race I said Norris lost the race with his mistakes. This race it was Piastri's one crucial mistake.

Oh my word! Is that Lando’s best ever win? His pace on a one stopper was electric!
Great pace by both drivers just a shame it went missing in Q3 and the first 40 laps!

Hats off to McLaren for splitting strategy
Just a fan's point of view

Piastri can`t do that to a teammate. It WILL BE a crash someday.
To everyone else it is very good racing, but not the teammate.
The mclaren is fast, but they need a good execution to bring it on the track.

Lando had the meaure of everyone this race. He was 0.900 tenths quicker than Piastiri overall in the first stint so if everyone one stopped, he would have just overtaken everyone as he also managed to keep the tyres alive the longest. Also track temps climbed by 10 degrees and that's was enough to derial the Ferrari, don't think the car had any major issue.

Piastiri is on a collision course. Some point he is gonna make contact. So far Norria has been more wary and I think this is what gonna decide the championship.
Halo not as bad as we thought

Excellent win by Norris and yet another stunning 1-2, but bloody hell Piastri needs to calm down, it's the second time he's almost crashed his team mate out of P1.

Either way, it should be win number 200 tomorrow and I would not mind 4th 1-2 in a row.
Don't mind if I do.

What a result, what a season. Awesome race, so happy seeing 2 McLarens fighting for P1, it's crazy. I did not expect Lando to hold p1 on such old hards. Osc was unlucky to end up on suboptimal strategy, it happens.
200th win for McLaren.
4th 1-2 in a row.

Wow! What a race. Absolutely brilliant.

Don’t think we have seen team mates fighting like that since 2014 Bahrain

It is matter of day they will collide :/ unfortunately. Anyway WCC table can handle it.

At least we don't have both cars on the exact same (losing) strategy. Norris is building a nice tire delta and would benefit if there is a VSC/SC.

As long as Bortoleto is not gaining on Norris, I would stay out.

Now Piastri should push Leclerc and force a second stop from Leclerc (or undercut him). He seems to be gaining. Let's go!
It worked out OK :D

Great race for the team. Fantastic result. 200th win and a 1-2 is almost a dream come true. Who would have thought that this was possible from the dark days just a couple of years ago...

Onto the next one
