It was clever of Leclerc to catch Checo when he was not expecting and certainly did it cleanly. Lando’s similar move later on was perhaps not quite as well executed

I agree, the fact Lando outpaced his Ferrari bound team mate really says a lot. He really has raised his game and just needs to improve his racecraft and he will be a winner

If it wasn't for Kimi losing a tire....so I was forced to vote for Bottas.

Leclerc's one on Sainz near the end was also good. Yeah, Norris certainly had the pace this weekend. I was also pleased for him. He's been getting his practice in in Esports, although the move on Pérez looked a bit like the kind of moves your mates think is on when they pick up F1 on the Playstation.

I saw that as Perez being caught napping - like he was with the similar move by LeClerc. Getting done twice like that suggests it was Perez being dopey rather than Norris being overly optimistic.

On reviewing it, yeah, it looks like Norris was surprised to see that gap remain open. It appears he wasn't going to go for it at first and as Pérez slowed so much, he put his car there and then, of course, it closed at the last moment. Not as rash by Norris as I thought. Just kind of an open goal.
