true.
In hindsight Lando should've given that place back right away, so he could try to overtake Max again. But if he could've extended his lead with an extra second, this was the right move.... But what a race! I always liked this track with those awesome Senna S'ses and corners with double apex'es, but with the new top layer smoothing out the bumps it's gotten even better

Driver/skill diff. McLaren/Lando lost that on their own again due to another bad start.

Yeah always good to see the whole Ferrari team singing along with their anthem with smiles and partying/cheering.
In that the italians are alone I think.

Red Bull is likely going to fall to 3rd in the constructors meaning they would have lost about $20 million USD. We talk about drivers championship a lot on here but often overlook the real prize. That is a lot of prize money lost in a sport which you're fortunate if you break even or make a small profit. Red Bull seriously needs to reevaluate PER and the second driver seat.

To give an idea: before the cost cap, annual budgets of the top teams (mainly mercedes) was about 600 million. That was 5(?) years ago. So with F1 having grown so much, resulting in much much higher revenues from sponsors etc, their annual budget would've been now 1 billion/year or so.. And with only being able to spend 145 million or so on development and the cars, that means that there is 800 million or so (if needed) to spend on whatever they want. That $20 million...they won't notice. It's all outside the budget cap. The extra time in the wind tunnel and cfd calculations...they will welcome that! Trust me, the top teams have no problem to break even. Each race is a multi billion event if you take in all the advertizement etc. Being in F1 is extremely lucrative for the top 5 teams or so.

The Ferrari pace was very impressive (!)
Lando threw it away at the start . In the end the McLaren was faster than the RB20. Don't know how they do it , but the McLaren tires last forever (!) MAX was never in the running for the win . Red Bull has more work to do ..
