There was something happening every lap of that race - wow, non-stop action and plenty of nail-biting too.

The final result really does show (again) that F1 is a team sport - using slicks on a damp track, Lando was able to edge away from Lewis and both wanted to stay out to settle it but good call by the Mercedes bunker. We also saw a number of slow pit stops (I honestly can't remember so many in one race for quite some time) which had big impacts, again showing the team aspect of the sport.

So disappointed for Lando - it was his weekend - qualified well, out in front during the race and when his chaser got close, banged in a fastest lap to make a point - had it all under control until the heavy rain shower out the back - no question in my mind that his time WILL come.
