Emperor of China 🇨🇳, let's push it a bit. Let him win a few more races, and we'll see ‼️ Let's not forget that the Mercedes-AMG is currently the best car on the grid, by far. But we have to admit Kimi's magnificent victory... Hats off 🧢 😎👍. Alain Féguenne F1 Competitions - 24 Hours of Le Mans - WEC

Esteban Ocon - A poor strategic choice by the team, starting on hard tires despite a great start and gaining 5 places - a safety car that came out too early, preventing a pit stop for tire changes (everyone else had a free stop) - Colapinto closing all the doors, resulting in significant time loss due to worn tires - a disastrous pit stop with substantial time loss - a hasty error during contact with Colapinto, resulting in a 10-second penalty - a Grand Prix to forget, even though 5th place was within reach.

Given that Hadjar could aim for the Top 5, allow me to have my doubts!
