As nothing else has been posted, I figured I'd open this up to discussion.

A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7.

How'd everyone else enjoy it?

I'm glad to see that the gap between RB and the competition is slowly closing. Maybe it was a one off, maybe they expected rain all weekend and went with a setup that favors stability over performance, maybe it was a dead bird, maybe Aston's and Merc's upgrades really work.

Ferrari took a gamble and DID NOT FUCK UP. That was a refreshing change of pace, especially after being in full Ferrari fuck up mode all weekend (all year so far?).

The battle between Alonso and Hamilton was epic, as were the ones behind Albon who held onto his spot by sheer will and raw pace.

De Vries being De Vries, taking himself and K-Mag out on an open online lobby divebomb...

All in all, a great race :D

Well... there was a dead bird in the break duct of Verstappen, so I don't think they are closing the gap.

I mean, that bird certainly closed a gap :')

Did anyone check to see if the bird had a Mercedes logo on it?
