Interesting strategy call for Red Bull coming up - now that Max has the lead, I wonder if they swap tires to Mediums - and go for a 1-stop strategy now.

Even though there was no argument that halo needs to be there after the Verstappen and Hamilton crash last year, this once again shows how essential this needs to be there, seriously bad crash that was thankfully he seems to be ok

A lot of poor starts created this situation.

Even Leclerc and Perez further up had poor starts.

I understand you can’t restart a race after a red flag if your car doesn’t return to the garage by itself, but Russell stopped the car to check on Zhou.

Seems very harsh considering the FIA seem to bend their rules relentlessly anyway.

I dunno, with that back wheel missing, no way was Russell making it back to le pits without damaging it.

Tough call on George but there you go

Given Mercedes’ woes and Hamilton’s evident love of Ferrari, I reckon they’ll be regretting that long term contract they recently gave Sainz.
