With less than half a lap to go, I thought the gap to Malukas was too much. I am sure he had to be shocked; the pass was unbelievable. He is righteous and first-class, and hopefully, in time, he can feel a sense of pride for driving a great race and win it in the future.
 
Man, I have a feeling Pato is about at his limit with McLaren in general. His tone is becoming more and more assertive with every interview.

His fustration is there.
He’s only been doing this since 2020 but I think he’s only behind Michael now in terms of always having speed here but enduring constant futility. One wreck going for P2 with Ericsson a few years ago and never finishing worse than 6th besides that is just an absurd run of form. I think seeing his good buddy Felix win it a few years after parting from McLaren will probably plant a few more seeds in his mind.
 


I’ve been a little mixed on Buxton but iconic fits. He rose to the moment and it was a superb and electric call. That is a portrait of a booth working very well together as a unit. Hinch signaling to the other two to remain silent after the checkers and let the moment speak for itself was great.
