For me? Vettel.
Ferrari running a compromising setup for Q3 to give them a better race strat really paid off, and I would think this was something Vettel would have to agreed with, rather then going flat out in Q3 and risking tyre overheating issues.
His race performance was great, overtaking Hamilton was crucial at the start as he could not afford to let him get away. Controlling the race out in front after Hamilton’s second stop.
Hamilton put some mega laps in towards the end, but you got the feeling that Vettel dialled it back a bit and had more in reserve if needed. A rare thing for a Merc not being able to preserve the engine life, with only 4 for the season I wonder if this will develop into an issue later in the season.
Driver of the weekend – yet the poll is to rate the race?

I thought maybe you were messing with the Max33 fans 🤣
I was, until you rumbled me 😉
Oi, TJ! Please adjust the poll settings in future so that the first 11% of Max’s votes are proportionately redistributed to the other drivers – that’s evidently the level of mindless fanboi voting.

https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsHey, I’m a fanboi but didn’t vote for Max.
I voted Giovinazzi.
Great choice 😉
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsHe didn’t put a foot wrong all weekend 😬
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsI wanted to vote for Wehrlein since he had a great comeback after challenging times but… Giovanazzi is in here instead.
Erm, yes my fault. Even a judge requires the odd Easter Sunday off for a Gin or two 😉 Your vote is duly noted
