Was really exciting seeing ferrari move up through the field towards the top 3. If that safety car hadn’t been called, ferrari could’ve gone for soft tires and put pressure to get both drivers on the podium

Hopefully ferrari improves on this and keeps the momentum going

This race should hopefully restore some confidence to both Leclerc and Hamilton. I doubt they can challenge the championship, but we’ll see how McLaren measures up to the rest in Spain and moving forward from there.
I still think it’s too early. If we look at 2024 it wasn’t a a done deal by race 4. I still am living with Ferrari hopium.
