Wow, that race certainly didnt lack for drama.
Haas - losing Grosjean early after the touch with Stroll (iirc). Magnussen got poor strategy (same as Ricciardo)
Ferrari - Poor Leclerc...absolutely dominant all weekend. I'm super glad he got a podium still. And Vettel continues with the costly mistakes from last year. Spins without being touched by Hamilton, flat spots his tires, and then explodes/vibrates off his front wing. I read that Ferrari had overcooled the car in Australia and thats why they were so slow...then they were pushing the cars in Bahrain practice to test the new power. Wonder if they pushed too hard?
Mercedes - Lucky. Bottas didnt look nearly as good an both cars looked twitchy again.
McLaren - Norris looking strong and that car looks like a serious mid tier contender.
Renault - WTF. Seriously. Hulk blows an engine and Ricciardo loses power within seconds of each other. I think his car was still "live" at the end (according to Sky). The marshalls couldnt move it and the lights were flashing, even with no steering wheel. Lol.
