Oh track limits, why must you keep rearing your head in such strange ways? Fabulous race though. Hamilton defended superbly, Verstappen attacked wonderfully but didn't quite have enough in it at the end. The fact race control intervened so directly over an issue they had been otherwise lax about was odd though. Seeing Hamilton lock up under pressure was a welcome sight - Verstappen can definitely take the fight to him this season, at least on a psychological level. Some fine drives by the known elites of the midfield too, and Perez is clearly of a different calibre to the driver he replaced, who would be delighted with 5th without a pit lane start. Bottas might be at risk of losing 3rd in the WDC if Red Bull can keep this form up. But a brilliant start to the season.
