1. Bagnaia’s career in his life.
Far from falling after losing the temporary lead in the World Championship yesterday, the Italian driver understood that today’s race was one of the most important of his life. His first lap, starting 13th and moving up seven positions, was a fantastic prelude to what he would do over the next 26 laps. A race he ended up winning and that gave him the lead in the championship.
2. The selection and management of tires.
In some races different combinations have been seen, some of which defy Michelin’s recommendations. Aleix Espargaró’s ‘soft/soft’ choice drew special attention, a kind of suicide revealed for a driver with a desire to win. In other cases, the race showed that more defining than the combination was how each driver managed their choice.
3. Jorge Martín’s career management.
A brilliant start for the Madrid driver – from sixth to first – who immediately set a pace that none of his rivals could follow. Dropping nearly 3 seconds off his lead was an ‘unforgivable’ mistake, which sent him to the starting line in his championship fight with Bagnaia.
4. Brad Binder’s piloting.
The South African driver once again showed his ultra-aggressive driving, this time destroying the GP first for Marini and then for Oliveira. Without considering his repetition in the same race, for each of the incidents he was penalized by a long lap. He entered the finish line sixth, 11s behind the winner.
5. The seven fell.
The more than 62º where the asphalt is, along with its dirt outside the normal route, made it one of the races with the most waterfalls. Of the 21 drivers lined up on the grid, only 14 crossed the finish line.
