    So I only half watched the race today as The International (Dota 2 eSports tournament) is going on and I was keeping an eye on the matches, but it seems I picked the right race to not pay attention. Looks like the most exciting thing this race beside the first few laps was McLaren team ordering Norris and Piastri?

      Pretty much. A great few first laps, then Max pulling away took away any drama for the win. A couple fun moments further back, especially Alonso and Bortoleto.

        Alonso DNFing with another mechanical failure isn’t my notion of fun, but I guess he did have a great start yeah. Albon also the only one of the Hard starters to come out ahead, I guess all the rest just tried holding out for a safety car until the end?

      A hard decision to make, but the opinion from commentary was that Lando had chosen to give Oscar the first pit stop specifically to help him cover Charles so they probably felt bad that helping his teammate cost him

        So stupid that Lando still worried about Oscar! If he wants to win this championship then he has to stop trying to help the leader

          It’s a team sport, I think I heard a quote attributed to one of them saying something like “I won’t be able to win without the team on my side”
