That is four great, absorbing, intriguing races on the bounce. What a great season so far for all fans.
Today was exhausting to watch but a fantastic advert of great skill from both drivers and teams alike (especially the strategists such as James Vowles). I thought Kvyat and Albon really showed Gunther how team mates can race and show respect to the team paying their wages. Well done Mclaren and Sainz/Norris! As much as I’m not a massive Max fan I think he really showed Lewis how you can be magnanimous in second, especially impressive for such a young lad working for Horner who doesn’t know the meaning of the word humble!
Top notch viewing. Having been to Spa three times, I cannot wait for the second half to begin back there at the end of the month/beginning of September - it’s a fantastic place to see a race...

Yes a good race and I enjoyed the doubt about the Mercedes strategy. Lewis doubted it, I doubted it, my mates doubted it, even the team strategist seemed to doubt it, which means it was a gamble but one that paid off. Would it have paid off with a driver who wasn't Lewis Hamilton? We don't know. Uncertainty is good for racing and for those who have grown too cynical to enjoy F1 I think you need to sit down, learn a bit about the players, open a beer, and enjoy. The old days were good but the today days are at least as good if not better. And would be even better if all circuits were proper race tracks like Austria, Hungary, Suzuka, Spa etc.
