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.
Good post for coming at this from.a different perespective than most.

I also thought Sainz drove great. I hope he can keep it up over the last 5.
