Really what are you smoking? What did Lewis do to deserve that? He was not terrible, driver of the weekend…
I’m thinking maybe Albon

Norris had better pace over the weekend, but Piastri was better at passing Max, which gave him the win.
Alex had a very strong weekend, so did Max, who once again maximized what was possible.

4th and 5th on the road for Albon is a HUGE performance for the machinery he has. Piastri, as good as a job he did, finished where the car should be.

PIA, VER, ALB stood out with honourable mention for ANT. Others were rather underwhelming.

Max for giving us some entertainment, something that a reduction in his overall race time by 6.5 seconds if he let them through, would not have delivered
