I'm still undecided between Perez and Sainz.

Both had to fight hard with cars in their own league to get
* the best of the rest for Sergio,
* a useful point for Carlos with a car that is known to be hard on its tires

As for the drive-trhough-the-field-drives: like I have mentioned before, I don't see those as all that geat. The top 6 have such a car advantage that you don't expect anything less than them finishing in the top 6.
Most of the opposition are not even putting up a fight.
Vettel also had no (real) difficulty to recover from 16th on lap 27 to 6th.
In that perspective, no, I don't find that all very spectacular. Not with Vettel, Verstappen, Bottas, Hamilton or Raikkonnen in previous races either.
