Ruined by Hamilton coming over on him in the braking zone but no investigation.
Definitely a sore spot for me. I got pissy after the first couple of overtakes on Mick, but when he dropped to the bottom I knew something was up. Despite the utter lack of focus from any coverage, KMAG still managed a good drive. Despite Mick being in hot water, I really can't see anyone blaming him for this one at all. He had a fantastic qualifying, but the car just failed him.
Lewis not being a shitbag over post-race radio? Credit where credit's due for once.
That came after the softest touch possible on Team Radio though. Compare what Carloss got compared to him. Merc is well aware they have to stroke his ego, and stroke it hard, even when the results aren't there. Naturally, Bloois would say this is pure skill, considering all his complaints about the car before this. (And, notably, the bouncing noises seemed just as awful as before.)
I think this race had a good start, but obviously petered out a bit by the end. I think, with the quali lineup, this was natural, but it didn't really come in too good a way. If I was to take something really positive from it, it's that both of the Ferraris survived a really solid period of hard driving, it's just a shame that Sainz really doesn't have the pace to manage to manage a win, at least compared to AMX. Like it or not, the man's a seriously talented racing driver, and he shows it regularly.
