The two Rs have looked promising for a while. Raikkonen keeps showing his teeth and then lowering his tail when it comes to actually racing. It looks like he's pedaling for the money. Red Bull even told Verstappen to do the opposite of whatever he does (turns out that is crashing into cars rather than letting them overtake you). Ricciardo however, brought everything to this race. He gains 15 points for fastest lap and 15 points for making up the most places.
For a long time, I thought I would have nothing to write about this race other than I'm not sure whether pit stops should be called stops any more as they barely seem to brake. The mind boggles.
Then, half way through, the Toro Rossos collided, sending Gasly from hero to zero as he crashed into his team mate, drove through his own litter, brought out the safety car, had a massive stop and then a 10 second penalty. The race was wide open. With ten laps to go, Verstappen damaged Vettel and my points haul disappeared altogether and brought out the now traditional world champion whinging.
I think three races in, we can safely say that Mercedes aren't dominant this year...and neither are Ferrari...
