What. A. Race.

Norris did extremely well. Mega unfortunate for Piastri.

Huge haul of points for Williams.

Sauber scores more points today than they did all of last year 💀

Disasterclass for Ferrari.

Fantastic debut for Antonelli.

Also VCARB screwing tsunoda as usual after a brilliant weekend upto that point

I think the team orders screwed Piastri. He was clearly in the zone and he was quicker than Norris and he definitely wanted to see if he could get past Norris. When the orders came in his flow was ruined and he started to make mistakes. I get what McLaren were going for, but I think it was unfair towards Piastri. If there's ever a time to let drivers race it out in such conditions it would be the first race of the season, and McLaren didn't even let them do that.

I think Piastri was faster because Norris was nursing his tires, and Piastri made mistakes because he was pushing it too hard. I think Norris had him beat - not by much - but had him beat by margins throughout the weekend and was a very deserving winner.

Yep, Piastri would get to a gap of 1.1, and then Lando would open up again, he was coasting unless he was protecting from DRS
