Lewis is flying. I hope he catches Leclerc to be honest. I don't want to wish bad luck to anyone. But really, they were really lucky to be in this position on the first place. With Leclerc at 2nd, at least they won't be getting that much out of the constructor's

Maybe we could have had a P3, Valtteri isn’t the best overtaker. A British GP podium would have been great for Lando. Hopefully next year. Good drive from both.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Bravo to Lewis. The natural order has been restored. No way Leclerc should have that 1st place due to sheer luck. On another note very good race from both drivers and especially from Daniel for holding Sainz. Unlucky about the pit stop blunder as Lando has all the capability to hold Bottas. Still we only lost 3 points to Ferrari and that brings the difference to 16. Where is the next race?

Absolutely!!! Great points for the team… It’s clear that the Ferrari’s like the warmer temperatures… Their tyre management today was impressive impressive.

To come out P4 and P5 in a day where our competitors had a pace advantage, it’s a fantastic result

Why always the salty comments? Leclerc drove a great race… He took advantage of the incident in the first lap and managed to keep Lewis behind all of the first stint… They had a faster car today… Been a McLaren fan doesn’t mean not been gracious and acknowledging when the rivals do great.

Luck has also played in McLaren’s favor and it will play a role through the season… Just as we we were unlucky with Lando’s PitStop, we were lucky with Sainz… Who would have came in front of Daniel and probably pressured Lando if not for his issues also.

Leclerc had the pace over Mclaren fair and square. Even though Ferrari are my arch enemy, i believe they deserved a win today. Lando great as allways and Daniel doing good.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows
