    Race mellowed out by the middle of it. Wonder how it would've been had Verstappen's car not borked yesterday.

    Hamilton seems much more comfortable with these regs than ground effect. Feels like his podium isn't too far away.

    I was surprised to see the Astons out for nearly double the laps they predicted. I wonder if the vibration wasn't as bad as they thought, at least for this race

    Why did this happen? Was this the transponder turning back on as they tested something in the garage?
