Maybe a little bit of red mist by both drivers, but as noted; if neither lift, both lose.

As per the per the FIA... Perez, had the options..
“It was thus apparent that while ahead, and having the right to drive his line, Sainz did move slightly towards a car that he had limited vision of. At the same time, there was nothing unusual about Perez’s line, but he could have done more to avoid the car that he had a better view of.
“In conclusion, the Stewards deem this to be a racing incident with neither driver being predominantly at fault, and take no further action.”

Nobody mentioned Piastri? That guy is one cool cucumber. I like Norris but I think Piastri is already a more complete driver.
This is the best second half of a season ever.
I think Verstappen has enough points advantage to secure another Drivers Championship, especially with the wins being spread between the other top teams and drivers. A DNF or two for him would certainly liven things up though!
I believe he's used all his PU's as well, so there may be grid penalties for him in future races...

Best race of the season so far - Oscar made the perfectly judged move at just the right time to surprise Charles, and then defended stoutly but always fairly. As above, Oscar is the best driver in the second half of the year, and is looking good for 2025.
The crash at the end was coming for a few laps - just a racing incident between two drivers hungry for the podium.
George mopped up, Lando got good points, Max got less. Alonso somehow managed to keep going to get 5th, despite being totally anonymous all race. Great points for Albon & Colapinto - they both drove so well.
All Brits got points, with Lewis & Ollie sneaking into the top 10.

So Norris was dominant but didn’t get fastest lap, thanks to Ricciardo. And Z Brown is miffed at that. I’ll set that out for comments!
Just Danny Ric helping out a buddy (and former teammate) to keep Max 1 point further ahead of Norris.
I'm sure the fact that it was the RB jr team had nothing to do with it. Brown would have made the same move if their positions were reversed.

Outstanding win for Lando, solid second from Max, and fighting third for Oscar. George did well to keep ahead of Charles, Lewis, Carlos and Fernando as well as Nico, Sergio, and Franco. Unlucky failure for Alex with debris in the side radiator duct overheating the engine.
Will that fastest final lap taking the point off Lando be enough for RedBull to keep Danny Ric over Liam Lawson? I hope not…

Ricciardo seems resigned, and somewhat at peace with it. As he is a NASCAR (Dale Earnhardt, specifically) fan, maybe that will be his next career.

Ricciardo is out at RB. I suspect he is done with F1. His career is kinda like Alonso minus a couple of worlds championships. Made the wrong moves at the wrong times.
