looks like Mercedes didn't want Antonelli to benefit from a "free" pit stop

Ferrari had no pace all weekend its a power circuit as many said before the weekend started, this is no surprise meanwhile Red Bull and Mercedes with the best engine are rapid.

How did Max lose 1.5s to Russell? He was 3.5s behind before vsc and after it he was 5.1s.

He seems to thrive if you give him a loose car with high top speed. He will take care of the corners!

That engine noise on Sainz' car when it broke down... High pitched, seemed like a crankshaft bearing or something like that

Yeah. I see why Fred downplayed the upgrade. It really didn't add any noticeable power. It actually overheats more.

He seems deal with oversteer better than others. RBR can take rear wing off to give top speed and he doesn’t lose much in the comers or chew up the rear tyres.

from the top cars, Verstappen is the only one with a set of mediums left for the final stint. I'd think it's the better tire today.

Russell is the new Bottas. Fast but cannot maintain pace.

Seems Leclerc was holding up Piastri. Piastri is quick now.
