As my habit is to vote for who I thought did the best job in the race (not the entire event), I vote for Perez. He was dead and buried on the warm-up lap but had the cool presence of mind to control-alt-delete the car and get into the race well behind. He drove a superb race and would probably have been in the mix for a podium place otherwise. I was pleased to see it. I genuinely think that if the RBR car is as good as it looks to be this season, it will be Checo that will give them the chance of ending the Merc monopoly in the WCC.

Worthy mentions - Lewis of course, superb drive. Max, great stuff but RBR were soundly beaten on strategy. Norris - a great season opener and hopefully a sign that those who think Ricciardo will walk all over him are wrong.

Bottom of the pile - tempting to say Mazepin, but his teammate spun as well and to be honest, he was roundly outclassed in the dreadfulness department by Vettel who showed exactly why he should have retired at the end of last season,. Sad to see.

The real booby-prize of the weekend though goes to the seriously challenged person who decided that the track limits should be different in the race than they were in qualifying - and then changed his mind.... just plain dumb.

Checo. What a recovery, shame he had to make that extra pitstop, he was looking odds on for fourth. Just imagine what he could have done had he started from his actual grid position

Previous teammates to Max (Daniel excepted) have been really inconsistent and the thing that Checo brings is the possibility of consistent high scoring finishes. He doesn't make many mistakes, is a great tyre saver and is no slouch. I expect to see him on the podium on a number of occasions this season once he's fully got to grips with the car.

Indeed. Max’s best team mate since the Honey Badger. With the qualities you mention, he is the perfect backup to Max

For me, Tsunoda for a promising drive and that overtaking move on Stroll on the final lap.

I think the cool headed drive by Perez shows that this is the kind of driver RB have needed for some years now. Drive of the day for me, and I don't even like the guy.



Happy to see Lando do well and the team in orange placed the flag at third. This is the fight I'm all pumped up about.

I wonder how Aston Martin are feeling now. I said last year that replacing Perez with Vettel was a risk and based on both drivers respective performances you have to say that my fears have so far been justified. In fact, I felt even Vettel replacing Stroll would have been a risk and that theory isn’t looking much wrong atm...

But Seb 'Seb' Vettel is a world champion. Forget the results and feel the validation of having the guy on the team.

He put himself most of the way their himself by going out in Q1. His self inflicted penalty was just the icing on the cake.... as his much derided team mate cruised into Q3.

As has been said, the only way is up from where he is.

I just realised I hadn't voted, so on reflection I've decided to vote for Lando Norris.

having a world champion is a great deal for PR and to get some quick "prestige" for a brand like AMR. Once said that, after 2018 season I think some areas of vettel brain simply switched off and still didn't turn on since then

Yes, but the signing was nothing to do with on track performance, so I’m sure they’re quite happy with him.
