Don't think it's on for Norris now, seems to have stabilised a bit, if anything he's dropping back. Hopefully Max destroys his rubber now he's pushing on.

Wishful thinking I suspect. Verstappen managing it to the end.

Or maybe Norris has already has done his...

As Spanish GPs go, this has been good. Especially as there have been no incidents or weather. Just an honest race of pace and strategy.

It's the hope that kills you.

Max has this under control, has from lap 1.

[robscot]

Merc off it still.

As for Lando… catching is one thing passing is another etc etc murray etc

[Sandpit Steve]

Great race from Perez there, picking up a couple of points and a only minute behind his team mate.

Don't forget Max put on new softs, Lando, used.

Im a Lando fan but he's thrown this away with his weakness at starts.

Ferrari have been disappointing again.

All 20 cars running? these cars are not close enough to the edge on power or weight.

What do you expect in a limited engines per season formula?

It's always st on spectacle when engine life is being managed.

That’s what happens when you put reliability in the regulations.

[Second Best]

No "switcheroo", no "wily fox", no "last of the late brakers" - what is this sport coming to?!

[carlo996]

Another completely forgettable race.

But apparently “Bottas broke first” when Ric passed him, so that was nice.

Limit engines but relax fuel flow, I want to see Alpine 30hp up for 75% of the French GP while RB and McLaren keep one eye on the championship

Really? I’ve found it quite enjoyable! Some great overtakes, a bit of a chase down on max.

[PlywoodPascal]

I’m 15 mins behind, on lap 55 with a 5.5 second gap between Norris and Verstappen max

I reckon Norris is saving tire life to launch a full attack late on, the McLaren is relatively much faster later into the stint vs the other cars. I’ll see, you know, I guess.
