I was so pleased to see Sainz do so well too
@Kautilya.
He is a very talented, skilled and disciplined driver. But like Nick Heidfeld, I felt that he lacked the killer instinct. I think he dug deep and found that in himself today and really hope he outshines LeClerc. I think there is a
lot more in him if he gets a bit more passionate and like Alonso! Both are my favourites this season! Sainz leads quite a beautiful life. I like his Youtube channel

I don't think that Ferrari double crossed Carlos or anything by hiring Hamilton. No question Hamilton is absolutely top notch and for many reasons he will bring lots to Ferrari. Now whether the Ferrari culture will be able to take advantage of all that Hamilton can bring is another story. I have a bit of a gut feeling that he he's not going to fit into the team. Better start taking Italian lessons for sure.
RedBull is likely going to clean up.... again. But there is a lot of design, management and driver talent in the mid and back marker teams so I can see it being an interesting season. Big respect to Lawrence Stroll for making Aston Martin a competitive team and not just a family vanity project.
