Maybe one of the best F1 Races I’ve seen lately.

"Late entry?" What happened? Even Ricciardo was able to make Q after his turbo blow! {;^)

The pass Danny made on Hammy was the bomb. He then made another gutsy pass on Bottas for the lead that was beyond brave as Bottas attempting to close the door and then thought better of it.

And as much as I like Max, he jumped the shark and is in need of a grid penalty besides the 10 seconds tagged on to his race. That actually hurt Vettel even more, as it promoted Hammy above Max, but not Vettel. Criminal injustice.

As a Ferrari fan I was disappointed in the result. I was so mad at Vettel for his opening move against the Ice Man though I liked the karma bus eating him up. Glad it was Ricardo that got the win and not yet another Mercedes win. Haha

Indeed.
