Woof, that Mclaren has some speed. Without Alonso finding the wall and bringing out a SC, that was looking like a Ferrari F2004 gap by the end. For all the vaunted closeness between the teams in qualifying, didn't see much of that in the race. Only masterful Max had any hope of staying near the McLarens. Crazy that Stroll wound up placing so high and poor Yuki was completely out the points!
Great race overall thanks to the weather and the SC, glad we won't have a long wait until the next race to find out if today was a one off or the expected norm for the first half of the season.
Early days of course, but a creeping feeling is starting to set in that Lewis is washed. These conditions should have been his kind of race, but he was stuck behind supposedly mid field cars for almost the entire race. Not to mention the fact Charles absolutely manhandled him at the end there (and Oscar too wow), it's not looking good. Hoping he can start showing some form soon, but that was not an impressive race for him.
