Max was the obvious choice and he certainly drove exceptionally well. However it was hardly flawless: unlike the C4 team I thought the pass on Leclerc was rude and bordering on wrong. I suspect the stewards felt somewhat the same as it took them a long time to make a decision. Perhaps they received so much stick recently for penalising unruly driving that they decided to let this one go.
So with Max dismissed, Lando was another obvious choice. I'm delighted that we have another Westcountryman getting to the sharp end of F1, and he performed well on both Saturday and Sunday.
However Lando went from 5th to 6th in the race while Carlos went from 19th to 8th with the same car. I vote Carlos.
