That was a crazy, intense, and extremely entertaining race. I'm soooooo stoked for Toro Rosso!! 3rd and 6th is just an epic result for them. And Stroll with the best strategy call of the day to finish 4th. Vettel from P20 to P2. 3 fantastic races in a row...this is why I love F1!!

I can't get over that last double right hand turn (T16+T17)and how many drivers got caught out there. Hulkenberg was headed to a top 5, Leclerc a potential win (now lost 3 wins at Germany, Austria, Bahrain), Perez, Hamilton. I think Bottas got caught out at T1.

I'm very impressed with how far RBR (and Toro) have come with the Honda engines. They look legitimately powerful, not quite at Ferrari level yet, but they are getting much more competitive.

I know Alfa's are supposed to get a 30 sec penalty for their clutch issue at the start, but they are appealing. With the penalties...WILLIAMS GET POINTS!!!!! I'll go with the current official standings for our points until I (or someone else) hears if they reversed the decision.

And I have to think that Gasly gets canned in the next 3 races. Silly season is almost here and he's been very underwhelming, bordering on terrible.

I can only hope Hungary (this weekend!!) makes it 4 great races in a row.
