Super happy for Norris. Was emotional seeing the celebrations within McLaren.

Piastri did great and was my DotD. Unfortunate about his incident with Sainz. It's going to be reviewed so let's see if there's a penalty for Sainz.

Tsunoda flying under the radar yet again and scoring points.

Congrats to Alpine for finally scoring a point.

I'm a big fan of Sainz, but I felt that was a bit dirty.

On the other hand, if he'd pulled it off clean, it would have been an amazing overtake.

Sainz was clearly on tilt after his failed overtake at turn 11. If he had kept his cool he probably would have gotten around cleanly in another lap or so. First time seeing Piastri get a little hot under the collar right before the collision too.

Norris finally won one!

Great pace in the McLaren and obviously a bit of luck with the safety car. But even if the SC wouldn't have wrongfully picked up Verstappen, the SC would've needed to wait another lap. Norris was around 10-11 seconds ahead of Verstappen when the Safety Car was called, and a pit stop under SC loses you around 9 seconds according to the strategy article on formula1.com - so he would've probably been ahead anyway. But even if he would've been P2, the pace advantage would've probably been enough to actually overtake Verstappen. I think it would've even been a close race if there was no Safety Car at all.

Funny how Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and Aston Martin go for the big names (Hamilton to Ferrari, Newey in talks with Ferrari and maybe Mercedes, Mercedes wanting Verstappen badly, Aston signing Alonso and having an engine deal with Honda from 2026 etc.), meanwhile McLaren is comparatively silently developing their car and they already have a mega driver lineup.

I wasn't going to watch this one, thought it was going to be a snoozefest with a Max win. I am happy that I watched the race.

Congratulations to Norris on his first win, first of many I hope. Piastri was a bit unlucky in the last stint, otherwise he could have been on the podium.

Thoroughly deserved win for Lando, looked quick all weekend, & comfortable out front, more to come hopefully ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Good job, Lando.

Was more fun than I thought it would be, but why did a lot of the commentators thought it was easy to overtake on this track but when there was actual competition clearly wasn't easy.

Both the Sprint race and the main event were entertaining to watch. Surely facilitated by the track design. Need more of this.
