If I had a nickel for every time Pirelli predicts the fastest strategy will be a two-stop and it ends up being a one-stop snoozefest instead with everyone just massaging their tyres for two hours I'd be a fucking gazillionaire by now.

Still, it could have been worse. We got some first lap action, some nice moves by Bearman and Piastri taking a crucial victory to keep the championship interesting.

Absolutely gutted for Yuki again. With the front wing deciding to implode on its own it wouldn't have mattered anyway, but the decision to pit him a second time was completely braindead - or as they call it in VCARB: "the usual". He was at the front of that midfield pack with great pace and was on for some solid points.

Not a great race by my boy Antonelli, but he apparently had floor damage (?) so I'll give him a pass for now. He got completely mugged by both Ocon and Hulk and had no real pace to speak of. Maybe he really is just better in the wet than in the dry.
