Max delivered a strong performance, leading the race solo. Mercedes performed well, securing 2nd and 4th positions. Sainz executed a flawless race, finishing in 3rd in the Mercedes Sandwich. Lawson and Tsunoda battled for their futures, both putting in respectable performances but huge kudos to Lawson for his defence. Norris and Ferrari not great performance. Overall, with Hadjar finishing in 10th, it was a solid weekend for Red Bull Racing. Aside from the drama during qualifying and the first lap with Piastri crash, the race has been about tire management. so WDC for Max still in play?
Maybe about tyre management in terms of keeping temps in them and keeping them in the window, but not really conserving. Looked like there was almost no deg out there today.
Yeah true more about pit stop timing rather than tire management you’re right
