Yep, missed a few passes earlier when it was clear they battling and a pass was likely

This is it

Come on Norris!

The hunter and the hunted!

Unlucky Lando

Yes boys!!!! Get in there Max! Christ my heart was beating faster those last few laps. 😁😁

Jacovs

another 3 laps wouldve made things really interesting

Itssoeasy

max gets the win.

This is it

Another lap or two and he'd have it I think. Great race from Norris, happy with LeClerc taking the last podium spot.

Pity Lando went wide there, he could have got him.

Landos few excursions over the curbs cost him but exciting finish to an otherwise awfully boring race

I’m hoarse from shouting for Norris those last few laps. Neighbours must think me and my OH are having a right ol Barney 😂

Andrew76

Nice banter between the top three on the Max Verstappen podcast. Great to see the fans out on track.

flazio

3 words.

Not a classic.

Nice to see max actually work for a win, sucks for Norris woudl of been great for 2 in a row

At this stage Naomi Schiff should be getting fined by Sky for every time she asks Christian "What have you told Sergio Perez, he needs to do to keep his seat for 2025?"

Every poxy interview it's the same question from her.

I also think Max is enjoying the new challenge from Norris and McLaren.

Yeah agreed about Max - of course it helps he already has 3 championships in the bag so not as much pressure on him but you could tell he really enjoyed getting pole and hanging on for the win. Hard fought they were. He also seemed well chuffed with his Nordschleife race in iRacing this weekend too. 😁😁

Monaco next weekend.

Before we move onto Monaco and in honour of Eddie Irvine's brief cameo, I just want to share this clip from the good old days of the San Marino Grand Prix .

Terrible race, next year they need to extend DRS.

Fair play to Max, shows why he's best on the grid.

On a sidenote, sky's coverage is getting worse. I know they want closer racing but some of them can't hide their dislike of RB. Like wtf is Karun doing trying to cheerlead Lando to catch Max (Come on Lando) Few others the same. In fairness to Damon, he recognised Max achievements throughout the weekend (as did Ted)

They must have been told by bosses also they were cutting costs, between that new studio back in UK for far flung races, to a smaller team each race weekend.

Rachel Brooks needs to go also, f useless. You can nearly see the drivers give their head a wobble everytime she asks them a question (especially Lewis)

flazio

As long as she's not replaced by that sleazy Scot Craig Slater. That guy is the definition of a tabloid reporter, I wouldn't even call him a journalist.

Natalie Pinkham is usually there if Rachel isn't though, right?
