If it goes that way u hope Leclerc stands his ground even if it puts them both out. Leclerc has battle with Verstappen before. The rest of the field can't just keep jumping out of the way for him.
Yeah that’s what it needs really, everyone to stand up against the aggressiveness. There’s some that simply won’t in my opinion but I do think, as you’ve said, Leclerc should battle hard.
I remember seeing a interview with Senna once on a documentary (forget which one) and he said once he saw drivers leaving him extra space he knew in his mind they weren't a threat to him.
Not sure I like this overpowered DRS. Max is attacking from miles away and Leclerc is a sitting duck each time
I said earlier in the thread before the race that I didn’t think he’d get on the podium. I guess the Mercedes lap times will be poor right now but they’ll probably try to go to the end on those hards. I think the podium will be Leclerc, Verstappen and Perez.
That was very lucky for Lewis there. If he'd been a little closer to Perez he could have collected him and took them both out.
I love days like this. Unexpected podium for Lewis (not very often we can say that is it). 5th place for Magnusson who only got a call up during testing. A Ferrari one two which means we definitely have at least 3 teams in with a shout. Late drama. Just how we love Iike formula one. Anything can happen, and it usually does
Debut race in the points for Zhou as well. Russell competing in the Mercedes. Great opener with a lot more to come.
Completely forgot that Zhou had got points. Only disappointment is that McLaren don't seem to have pace but hopefully they'll be able to quickly come up with an upgrade
