Have in mind the tyre condition Sainz was in and the mistakes in Mclaren's strategy today. I think it is well deserved.
Mistakes?

Not really happy with the last 2 drives from Norris. We've seen some kinks in his driving in the races.
His pace seems fine, but the problem is tire management. Sainz can manage the tires much better and pull off one stoppers. Norris seems to be unable to do that, until he is they should go for two stoppers or easy one stoppers.
His whole race craft needs work.

Didn't do too much wrong today? Pitting under the 2nd safety car didn't quite pay off, but other than that he wasn't too far off Sainz. The hard tyres didn't have the longevity. I think it's too easy to compare to Carlos, who is on red hot form right now.
You're right maybe the hards were a poor choice. Still wasn't impressed.
Harsh on Lando. P7 in USA passing Vettel and Dan Ric. Only missing out on P6 by 1 corner. Today was looking ok until poor choice of hards.

Well done Carlos P3!!!!!

Lando knows he’s got some weaknesses, doesn’t make excuses, so hopefully he’ll improve. Got this from the autosport forum.

So now we have to wait for the "DRS under yellow" thing? or is it safe to say we have a third place? Luck sometimes has weird ways.. :?

Apparently he closed the DRS well before he reached the incident, so that may favour him.
