Was a good race, what made it good was strategies
not the actual racing, anaother had track to pass on.
In the end it was maclaren fighting for the win 25 seconds ahead of everyone else
and had lapped half the field.

I agree 100%. The strategy and some 1.9 second pitstops were hugely important.
It was nice to see some of the lesser teams doing so well in this race. Grid position qualifying was so important on this track, because it was a difficult track for passing. I thought for sure Leclerc would have finished on the podium. Still uncertain as to what problem developed for him, but he was obviously not impressed with some decisions made by his team. Good on George on his 3rd place finish. Good on Lando for moving the trophies to keep them safe..lol

Sounds like the had to put more air pressure in tires to raise car, plank was
getting to much wear and sounds like the changed engine mapping as well
we wil likely never know the whole truth, but last stint after tire chnage
he was much slower.
 
todays qualifying, I missed was trying to put rebuilt transmission back in race car
Looks about same as before summer break.

It was pretty nip and tuck between the McLarens, both setting new lap records.

the season is over for everyone else.
Its all between these two, I hope Lando wins tomorrow
to keep race tight.

The rest of the pack, could be interesting to see who has what
and watching rookies.

With next years car being so different, whoever gets it more right
wins next year, be 2-3 years for reast to catch up.
 
Once again qualifying position is all important. It was a good race nonetheless. Nice to see once again a rookie get his first podium finish. He did a great job holding 4th place as long as he did. Great for the entire RB team too. Hadjar has the skills to do it again, if his head doesn't become to big for his helmet..lol. Tsunoda must be a little depressed he still hasn't been on the podium in 100 races. Wondering if he may lose his seat to Hadjar I bet.

Max was pretty gracious in letting Lando pass without any resistance. He must be resigned to the fact that his chance for the 2025 championship is not to be, so he's not pushing it any longer. Ferrari with two DNF's? That must have stung.. See what they can do next weekend..
