Looks like LH era is coming to an close. As a brit he will never be Dorian Yates.
Red Bull and Ferrari appear to be in their own class, and unless the foul up, will be fighting for wins. Merc has missed the target, and with the payroll cap cannot solve the problem overnight as in the past.
On the bright side it is nice to see even the best software modeling team get something wrong. Not surprised that RB got it right, but shocked that Ferrari got it right!

Horner is crediting the win with upgrades that other teams shunned to implement during a sprint race weekend with so little ability to tune.
I don't fault Ferrari for making a mistake. LeClerc, in front of the Fezza home crowd, was pushing in tricky conditions. I'd rather that than not pushing to close the gap for a good result.

I thought that the race was more boring than Australia - the reluctance of the officials to turn DRS on made much of the race a procession and dialled out any jeopardy (interest) in an exciting race - what the reasoning behind the delay was, I'd be interested to know.
Gasly got the Lance Stroll award for worst driver this week - how or why he didn't pass Albon when the DRS was switched on was baffling.
Well done to Lando & Gerorge for hauling in the points with relatively poor cars.
Checo must have been ordered to go slow for a few laps as both he & Leclerc were catching Max at one point. As soon as the gap was established, Checo sped up...
Ocon (or his pit stop crew leader) owes Hamilton as much of an apology as Ricciardo gave to Carlos, if not more so.

I dont think Checo had same pace as Max I'd rather say Max was controlling race.Shame for Ferrari bad luck for Carlos and lucky Lando.

Sainz has been on his back foot this season after looking solid last year. I thought he might become the leader of the team for this season, but so far has been sub optimal!
I suspect the Merc is a real pig and like Vettel his last year with Ferrari, Hamilton doesn't the comfort level (and perhaps the desire) to extract everything from the car. But he may be at a point where age is catching up.
A new track this weekend!
Hot, humid with a good chance of rain!
Go Max!

I saw Martin at the 2019 USGP giving a SkySports update. It was getting late as we drove by in out Track Marshall bus. He sure looked old. I do like his commentary during the race. Too bad that other guy has to dominate the airways.
HaHa anyone catch Martin's grid walk......what a hilarious spectacle of unimpressed self absorbed celebs....The best was thinking that some very tall dude who's face kinda maybe looked like Pat Mahomes was infact mahomes....
His walk is comedic. Sky is not the only media at the grid, and there may be a difference between being there to look at the cars and having some old, short dude calling for an interview. I imagine Patrick Mahomes was very confused!
They have a lot of retired journeymen, British drivers talking a lot. Steve Matchet, imo, was a top notch mechanic who did an excellent job. David Hobbs, well, was the Bill Walton of Motorsports.

Kinda made me wish F1 wasn't as popular in the US now. Given Liberty's plans for immersing the US with F1 races, it'll be interesting to see how long "celebrities" will remain interested.
What's the deal with F1?
I'm getting a little pissed off with the way F1 is progressing.
The cars (and drivers) are covered with decals and ads... beginning to look like stock cars!!!
