After a fascinating wet and drying qualifying, Max takes pole with the Alpine of Alonso on P2. Race day Max takes the lead in the first corner and remains in control of the lead for the whole race and a win. This time Red Bull has the DNF with Perez dropping out early. LeClerc starting from last makes it to P5 with the two Mercedes in P4 (Russell) and P3 (Hamilton) ahead. Sainz dogs Max for the last twelve laps, or so, but has to settle for P2. Fun and clean race with only Tsunoda dropping out for hitting a wall at turn one, er two, exiting the pit with new tires.... The Mercs were almost up with Red Bull and Ferrari for pace.
