A couple of attempts, but it made the difference.

That was enough for Kimi to take the lead.

And then I think, also have to understand that these races seem now to have two phases.

There's this first phase of the yo-yo racing where everyone's

Working out their deployment strategies, working out where others are harvesting, where others are deploying, how that fits in, where best to do it, which corners should I use boost and overtake, which corners should I defend.

And once everyone converges, all that overtaking stops.

And that's the phase we got into.

Then Kimi could stay in front.

Lando was second, but I think there was a chance if Norris had just got that gap in front that it would have been quite hard for Kimi to get past.

More points scored this weekend than all season so far?

Was that correct?

But it is an intriguing track because at Mercedes, for example, Antonelli, you know, obviously done sensational here, but it's been a place George Russell doesn't especially like.

And I think if you don't like somewhere and then you're struggling, then you're overdriving or sliding a bit more.

You're not comfortable.

The tires are overheating.

Everything compounds.

So maybe this explains the split.

And we know Lando Norris absolutely loves this place.

you're over a race win and once you're over a race win then it's really really difficult to claw things back because then you start relying on bad things happening to your teammate which can never be guaranteed so the championship's not done yet George feels that there is still reasons to feel that China and Japan went away from him for reasons that weren't his fault

And he says if he'd had those and had this blip, he wouldn't be too fussed.
