Great QF. Looks like Mercedes are just about back. If we can have 4 teams battling for wins till the end of the season that’ll be ace.

That was good.
Perez being sacrificed to give Max a tow at this stage of the season says everything. Good little number two.

Logan demoted from P20 to P20 for impeding a corner during qualifying. Stroll using his car as a weapon; it's practice, I sleep.

Red Bull superior aero efficiency strikes again.
Hopefully Russell doesn't allow Max to get away and hold Norris up.

If Hamilton wasn't off I think Merc would've switched the order. Hamilton just looks faster today.

Russell: "We working together?"
Also Russell: "Fuck your DRS Lewis lol"

Lovely little gift for Lando. Merc still acting in races like they have a magic bag with 3 tenths in when they need it.

That was brilliant clean racing from Norris and Russell. Actual 'hard racing' where neither was pushed off or forced to bail to avoid a crash. Great to see.

Hope that 1.5s lost in the pits isn't the difference.

Unfortunately it looks like Max and Red Bull still had some pace in hand.

Not sure if Norris would quite have had the pace anyway but Russell's amazing start has meant we didn't get a proper head to head.
At least McLaren's strategy gave us some good racing.

Norris and Verstappen are getting in the same zone Hamilton and Verstappen were a few years ago at the minute. Operating on a level lap after lap that's making the rest of them look ordinary a lot of the time.
Norris and McLaren just need that extra percent to step up to the Verstappen juggernaut. A shit start and a slightly bad stop are the only invitation he needed to strangle them all even without a car advantage.

Think that's the best Spanish Grand Prix for quite a while. Really great to see McLaren and Merc catching up to Red Bull. Enjoyed the McLaren strat. Think they had to do something to get Lando an offset once he was stuck and it was certainly aggressive. That Lando vs Russell battle after the pit stop was absolutely superb.
I think we saw that Red Bull still have the edge in terms of raceability, even if they didn't have the overall pace advantage they once enjoyed. The Red Bull could follow through the final turn and DRS past cars on equal age tyres and the others seemingly couldn't. Fair play to Max for getting it done though.
Lando is pretty good round the A1 Ring, should be another fun one.

Enjoyable race lots going on, at a track I hate (in iRacing anyway).
Lando had to be perfect to win, the way it should be TBH. Lovely pass on Russell, great racing from both, hopefully see more of that now the RB advantage is waning.
Whatever you think of him, Verstappen is the difference, fair play.

Max always had that covered, just winning in the slowest time.
Good to see that we might actually have 4 different teams capable of wins now though. The other 6 have got a huge gap to close
