I think the jury is out and Red Bull has the better car this year as well as a great driver which has been the Mercedes win formula for years. Lewis is certainly getting his wish welcoming a tighter championship. I believe this is the longest gap between P1 and P2 at this track ever, or at least in it's current form and the first time since 2014 that Mercedes has failed to win four races in a row.
No real strategy mistakes and Mercedes did opt for the fastest lap at the end this time. I never understood why they didn't do that with Bottas in France.
Norris is showing very strong again while Russell's luck fizzles away.
No safety cars again!
