    Max for the first time this season had to push to not get caught. Alonso and later Hamilton with the mediums had practically the same pace as him. It was a shame that Alonso didn’t had a new set of medium tyres and the issues with the rear brakes, he was faster than Hamilton when they had the same compound. The 33 is coming. 😎 Russell made a good comeback after the crash, having to retire the car was very harsh after all he did to get into the points again.

      Brundle was honest - he noted how far ahead Max would be if the race was clean without incidents. So in pure race pace that would be at least 10s faster than the next two teams.

      I’m all for Alonso this season with his stupendous performance, but Max and RB’s package is still the package to beat. AM need to be smarter to beat RB and Merc later into the season. Sucks that Alo’s strongest performance yet was hindered by a rear braking issue.

      If you wanna see how fast Max is, just compare him vs Checo…
