That race was wild, right? So much happened! First, a rookie crashed on the first lap, then Sainz crashed too, and it just kept going from there. Then Norris and Piastri both slid and lost traction and gave the lead to Max. Then Lewis took the lead, but Norris fought back and won. Max and Russell were right behind him. Then Antonelli got fourth, and Albon man, no one is talking about him, but they should be! He’s going to be good this year.
Here’s what I think if you have a good car, you’ve got a real shot. It takes a few races to get comfortable, but then you’re ready to go. Winning isn’t just about the driver being great. That helps, but the car and team matter a lot. A great car can make a decent driver look amazing. Just look at Russell when he was in a Williams, he was okay, but when he moved to Mercedes, he was super fast. The only time he struggled was when his car had problems, which wasn’t his fault. Before that, he was just a solid driver, but with a better car, he showed what he could do.
It’s kind of like soccer. The car is like the player, and the team is the whole squad. If you put Ronaldo or Messi on a bad team, even they wouldn’t do great. But if you put them on a strong team, they would shine and make everyone around them better. The same thing happens in F1 great drivers push others to improve.
And about Hamilton, he had a good race but somehow lost it. He tried his best, but I think the sport is just getting too fast with all these young drivers coming in. This happens to everyone at some point in their career, and I think we’re seeing it happen to Hamilton now.
