King George.

and Perez can find closure.

Nice race!
This. Even if he never races in F1 again, he got a victory after a long list of podiums.

Perez completely destroyed entire field today now that merc is out of the picture, on pace clearly 3rd fastest and made the most of his opportunities.
Frankly, I think Pinks are 2nd fastest.

I think both RedBull and Mercedes have had their decisions made for them.

I needed to see him perform on raceday. RUS did just that, I think he deserves a real shot at the 2nd seat.

His 2nd stint is a bit worrisome though. What went on there?

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Seemed like engine map issues.

I think RP is going to look up dumb for going to Vettel.

There was mention of a sensor issue, and he had to be talked through the settings to resolve it.

I watched a "watchalong" on YouTube, where it was just a dude talking over live timing while he was watching the race off camera, and his reactions were utterly timeless! His emotional swings were 100x better than any commentary I had ever listened to (very pro-Russell). I can't wait to watch the replay later.

No matter how you slice it, this was epic in a multidimensional manner. That is what makes a true instant classic.

Enjoy it!

Ah I’m so happy for Checo. Whatever happens he will always be a Grand Prix winner. Criminal if he’s not on the grid next year.

Gutting for George but he will have many, many more wins.

What an amazing race for Perez! 190 races before winning, and what a way to do it!

Ok, it was weird how much he lost aggregate to BOT

Let’s see what comes out in the post race.
