It was a good race because anything could have happened at any time and anyone from P1 to P7 could have won that race. What was strange is that we did not have a single abandon or safety car so we stayed on the edge that it could happen anytime but it didn't.

Personally, I feel bad for Lewis as he did not have a single easy race this year and he is fighting with all his powers in order to keep his car in front of Max but this time the strategist made a wrong call by making him pit with 8 laps to go.

That is true, there was a tough competition among the first 5 or 6 racers. If you see the final result, Max finished with a +14.5s, and the time difference between the 3rd and the 6th player is only 10 seconds which indicates that it was a pretty competitive match. But I am happy that Bottas has won it, I was so long waiting for him to win a race. The call from the strategist team cost Hamilton a lot. He placed 5th and also lost the lead of the F1 Championship to Verstappen. Verstappen currently has 262.5 points and Hamilton has 256.5.

More was not inside for Verstappen, RedBull got the best possible out of the weekend it was this weekend no more inside, the Mercedes were simply faster on this course than the RedBull. Think even without the pit stop Hamilton might have been 4th, so one position better than in the final result.

If I have not miscalculated, this weekend Mercedes has again made up a few points in the constructors rating, it could also be exciting. If RedBull wants to win this classification, Perez must become even more consistent.
