Well deserved win for Norris. Feels like there was every opportunity for events to screw the fastest driver in the fastest car, despite the team making the right calls at the right time.

Often in f1 this kind of race ends up with a surprise winner. It’s part of what makes the sport so great, but also so frustrating at times. With Max having been so dominant over the past few seasons it’s just nice to see McLaren not dropping the ball.

I think Piastri was faster because Norris was nursing his tires, and Piastri made mistakes because he was pushing it too hard. I think Norris had him beat - not by much - but had him beat by margins throughout the weekend and was a very deserving winner.
