Nice win for Russell, but the driver of the race was no doubt the young Kimi Antonelli, who secured P3 as a teenager.
Norris took himself out of the race with a real boneheaded move. :)

Yes, even though George drove flawlessly throughout, it has to be Antonelli keeping the two McLarens at bay.
And Lando, oh dear oh dear. At least he didn't make excuses.
I see George even managed to get Whinger Spice moaning again with a few mind games behind the safety car.
Funny how they always seem to follow the Safety Car Rules when it's not a black man winning.
Fuck me, looks like Whinger Spice is taking a leaf out of the orange turd's book:
The lying shithead.Quote:
Speaking to the written media after news of their protests had become public, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "Two protests that we've put to the stewards, that we've asked them to have a look at.
"Firstly, relating to the erratic driving behind the Safety Car, where George very heavily braked, obviously looking in his mirror for Max.
"Then the second one is very clearly the distance that was left behind the Safety Car that was well in excess, I think at least three times in excess, of the permitted distance.
"It's €2,000 per protest, and we were surprised that they weren't noted and sent to the stewards, so therefore you have the right as a competitor to do that, and that's what we've chosen to do."
And then the clearly peeved Mad Max tried to play down the whinging with more bullshit.Quote:
There was no specific mention in the stewards' document of an allegation of Russell leaving too big a gap to the Safety Car.
It's great, George has got right inside his little head.Quote:
Speaking to Sky Sports F1 afterwards, Verstappen had said: "I think we were both trying to say to the Safety Car to speed up because he was only going 120kph, but I think maybe it was doing that to give a bit more time to maybe get a race lap in.
"So George was trying to speed up to the Safety Car and I was trying to do the same. Once, he tried to speed up to the Safety Car he backed out and it caused a bit of confusion."
:)
Turns out Hamilton's floor damage was from hitting a groundhog.
I wonder if that's the first time.
I think Horner was getting his defence in first, because Max actually passed George in that safety car incident. Tut tut.Quote:

The stewards did close the Max/George issue. No further action.
