So, your thoughts on the race?
It was a fascinating race!!
Not sure what Hamilton was thinking!
But without the Mercs, 2 teams and 4 drivers were fighting for the victory ... felt sorry for Ricciardo but I guess given that he had a puncture, it would have been much harder had he had it while in the lead!
Verstappen is a sensation no doubt but winning on debut raises expectations and that could have a negative on him
Red Bull should be strong in Monaco and then they'll have the new engine in Canada ... the season could get a lot more exciting!
