Dull race on the whole.

The overtaking was surprisingly uneventful (have they been told to behave?). Whole field seems quite close relative to previous years.

Happy to see Ferrari are back :D

I think that is a win for merc - they need to limit the damage while they catch up - ideally for them they would get a double Ferrari DNF next week; they need Ferrari and RB to take points off each other and not let one team to get too far ahead.

Indeed with where they are they're probably ecstatic. Really think it'll be only a matter of races before they figure out their best set up and getting lots of racing laps will help. Ham able to follow sainz and perez really close for lap after lap will also benefit them in understanding the concept more as well I suspect.

Also with the much stricter track limits they're not going to take chances that may put them over the white line.

Not only track limits, but everyone was staying well away from most of the kerbs, for fear of damaging the cars.

Other tracks with even harsher taller kerbs will be avoided even more.

It's not unexpected, first time they properly push the engines for a full race, hot environment. With a power advantage, you can always wind it down a bit and compromise for better reliability over a race whilst still keeping a power advantage.

It wasn’t that hot really. If they’re struggling here I’d hate to imagine how they’ll cope in Singapore or in Italy were it can be 30+’C.

I hope people do, its getting to toxic stages in here at times

lol we're way past toxic, as I've previously mentioned, it's just downright childish and embarrassing. Like listening to teenage girls in an American high school drama.

What a race, really enjoyed it, lots of drama. If Honda get the power unit issues sorted then it's going to be a really interesting battle, great to see 3 teams in it. Pleased for Haas too, rare a smaller team makes legitimate progress.

Presume we'll see some of those sausage kerbs removed due to the excessive damage they can cause, f1 don't want someone spearing off at high speed when they lose all downforce middle of the corner.
