Outright, I will say that Leclerc drove a good race and deserved the win.
I’m curious though, that previously with a car (rolling backwards towards the track) on fire, at the end of the about the fastest stretch of track that the Safety car wasn’t called.
I still have to feel that Ferrari have their PU turned up to the maximum in order to compete with the Red Bull. This would explain their PU reliability and the potential for the catastrophic failures such as those Ferrari have had.

I just heard Magnussen mention he was managing some sort of engine issue also for almost the whole race @maddme – and we’ve already have seen so many issues with Ferrari engines both at the team itself but also with their customers as well, so I have to agree that their engine seems to be really wound up to the max giving them some reliability issues.
Agree that it was a bit scary to see that car being on fire, rolling back with the driver still in it and no SC being called. The Marshals seemed to also be somewhat slow to react and help Sainz there.

Yes, they seemed slow indeed.

Just my humble opinion: SAI parked it quite far enough of the track, next to the escape road too, a SC wouldn’t have added much to the VSC. I just think the SC was really unnecessary and the issue was more with the marshals and the fact that SAI did not turn the wheels from the 1st moment the car started to go backwards so that the car will stop in the tyres barrier.

I agree, but the marshalls were quite slow and that is dangerous. I still have the reaction time of marshalls in Imola at that scary Gerhard Berger crash as the top. This instead was dismal.

Agree. The Marshalls reaction was too slow. I saw the first one running with an extinguisher but instead of going to the car and putting out the fire, that was small at that moment, he placed it down too far from the car and anyone else and running back to get something else. By the time other marshalls arrived the fire spread and it was scary!
