    Hamilton won fair and square, and Verstappen, to his credit, hasn't said any different. The FIA said before the weekend that they wouldn't be monitoring track limits at T4, so why anyone would expect Hamilton to valiantly go slower on that corner on purpose is beyond me. It's an unproven theory, but with Verstappen's early differential issues, it's possible the reason he stopped taking that line (and he did stop, because he had been doing it all weekend before) was to prevent that issue getting worse.
    The grey area comes from the FIA saying they would enforce track limits for overtaking. It seems oxymoronic to say you can use that piece of tarmac to gain lap time, but not to gain a place. That confusion isn't any of the drivers' fault.
    It's another drive from Hamilton which further proves his legendary status. Bahrain this year and Turkey last season are two Grand Prix where he found a way to win without the fastest car, putting an embarrassing distance on his highly competent teammate. Consider those races with his 2019 title, where he won with the second (and by the end of the season, third) fastest car, and it ends any argument that he only wins because he has the best car.

    Seems like Red Bull has a slight aero advantage to the Mercedes and the Honda power unit seems to have reached parity - as demonstrated by AlphaTauri's strong pace.
    Going to be interesting how the development war plans out. Feel like Red Bull might have the advantage there given the design of the Mercedes might prove a bit more limiting.
    Think Hamilton v Verstappen for the title will be decided as much by their team mates performances - at Merc suitable tracks can Bottas relegate Verstappen to a 3rd place, likewise can Perez do the same to Hamilton at the RBR favourable tracks?
    McLaren's pace is really encouraging and seem to be best of the rest, with a great driver pairing (expecting some fireworks between them two though) but that midfield is so tight a stellar qualifying could be all important so Le Clerc's one lap pace could be a thorn in their side this year. Hopefully they can land a few podiums.
    Could be a cracker of a year.

    That's as likely to attract young talent as the headline-grabbing kids who make the first team and elite football. Much easier to convince prospective families to sign if they can see that even if they don't make it here, there's a tradition of making a respectable career in the professional game.

    Fair play to him, seems to be enjoying his life out there. I don't understand why more players don't do it - broaden your horizons, earn cult hero status, earn the same money, learn a new culture without having to worry about a new language, all while being able to walk down the street without being recognised. He's a good egg, deserves it.
