Ferrari were ahead but P5 is ok.

We could have got them.

But I maintain that if Daniel doesn't pick it up, we can't challenge Ferrari.

Great ending, but definitely one of those "What could have been" moments. The penalty proved to be very costly. Could have probably had a podium here.

Leclerc changed directions two times. We were so close.
On this, you have a point, he did. But its a warning at best as he did it once.

Smart racing and I'd expect a mclaren driver to be just as smart if the roles were reversed.

It was a dangerous move though as he changed directions two times at the last second. I have a feeling he would have been passed there.

Ferrari only gained 4 points this race, right? Could have been an aweful lot worse after qualifying!

I’d expect a McLaren driver to have gotten penalised, to be honest.

That I would also say. If it was Norris he would have been penalized but a Ferrari driver? No way.

Could have been a win. Could have also been a lot worse

The move he did was dangerous. Norris was on the left and he started moving to the left to cover then Norris switched to the right and I think he would have passed him from the inside had Leclerc not almost sent him to the wall.

That was a good race... Great job by Lando to get Yuki on the restart and close to getting Charles.

This season is proving to be an entertaining one!

After a poor Saturday, finishing with both cars in the points it’s not a bad outcome, and just when we needed to minimize the the damage the team did exactly that.

This season is going to be e long one! We will have chances to get back into P3!

You can’t move as a reaction to another driver. Not sure if they will do anything about as it’s obviously “race start” where they are a bit more lenient. But it wasn’t kosher

We will definately have that chance to get back to P3 as long as Danny ups his game and we see what happens with those Flexi Wings.
