    Very interesting sprint race. Battles everywhere you look.

    VER comfortably ahead after an early scare, PER scraping through into 2nd.

    RUS and HUL making good strategy calls salvaged their races for them.

    LEC a touch unlucky in the pits messed up his attack. Getting tangled up with OCO didn’t help. SAI looked rock solid but unimaginative, just held on for dear life and drove to a podium.

    STR really should have given ALO that place, every point counts if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.

    OCO being his usual bullheaded self made him 7th, RUS raced him to the line and was 9 thousandths of a second behind.

    Very entertaining. 8/10.

      Good sprint indeed. Hulkenberg, unlike most pitting, really risked losing a few important points – in the end he almost hauled back both Alonso and Stroll. Don’t think that 1 point for Alonso would improve his chances towards attacking Verstappen, but Perez is still in sight for him.

      Would argue that STR needs his points too. ALO has no hope of beating VER this year.

      if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.

      Verstappen is casually pulling a pit stop gap on people during a sprint. I don’t think anybody has an outside chance for the championship

        Who knows? A pack of lemurs might kidnap him before the end of the season. Got to keep fighting eh?
