Amazing race... So happy for Sainz!

It did look like Max was not as dominant this weekend, he had to work for that pole (at least it looked that way)... Too bad that with the retirement we didn't get to see more of an actual fight

I do think Sainz just proved that getting 20 second advantage when you are first is a bit too easy (DRS for you and blue flag for any lapped cars seems to me like too much. I think just DRS would be fairer and make the races more interesting... Just my opinion)

Finally, terrible camera work... WTF did we need to see Max walking around with security TWICE after his retirement??

PS: go Yuki, points again while Ric all the way to the back... Yuki is never getting the call to Red Bull, maybe for good reason and he is a hot head, but I think it's clear he is #1 in Visa we don't care about the name as long as we get paid RB team

Very hard to tell, and it is unfortunate to some extent. It's not a huge surprise for me however as Australia is a peculiar track where there usually are some teams that rather randomly perform much better or worse than expected.

I completely agree, though I'm of the opposite opinion. Blue flags are necessary imo (there is no reason a lapped car should be allowed to defend against a race leader), but the leader getting DRS off cars he's lapping is grade-A nonsense.

Yuki took that incident in Bahrain personally! I don't get why people keep underrating him, he beat three teammates last year and is on the path to giving Ricciardo a McLaren-level drubbing.
