Did Perez just cut 3rd corner on this lap?
Ever so close.
Could be a decent race, Merc have had a better race pace than they have Quali. With them being strong today

Agreed!
It seems the excitement didn’t end after the race, Ocon’s car had a minor fire in the pit lane
Nice 1-2 for Merc.
Looking forward to the post race interviews with max and checo. Max refusing to give the position back…
Haas have finally announced their other driver.
Hulkenberg is back…. Not just as a sub

Looks like no seat for next year.
I think Haas were the last to confirm all their drivers.
