Nice result, decent race, although the apparent dominance of the win would have been different if LH hadn't had the VSC pit and hence had to sit in dirty air trying to get past the Mercs before his tyres were cooked. Happy for him though, great to see him back on form.
Where did GR's pace go though? Seemed comfortable in the first stint but KA had the better of him in the other two, he got very lucky that KA retired.
No F1 thread?

Merc dropped the ball not putting one of their drivers on a 3 stop strategy too, right? (of course, it would have been to no avail with Antonelli) Russell was struggling quite badly when the tires went off.
Kind of reminds me of what Max was doing last year when the McLarens were failing to cover him off, because they were too busying racing each other, and also compromised their strategy ultimately.
That was actually a decent GP though, happy for Hamilton and I've been waiting a long time for an all British podium too, so it's nice for it to finally happen in my lifetime

Oui, je suis un motard.

She’s extracting every last gram of performance - read into that what you will
Re: No F1 thread?
This was the first real race since the engine rule change and stricter compression test which seems to have pegged back mere more than their customer cars such as McLaren, make of that what you will.
Interesting that Lewis on better tyres couldn't beat George to the first corner, I also thought it was a mistake for the teams to react to the early tyre change from Lewis as they should have stuck to their race plan.
It is very sad that this will be the last race here for a while, it doesn't feel like a lot of the changes being made are for the better.
