For the record, Max started P7!!!

That being said, the pre-race talk with him was funny because both he and the people interviewing him were talking as if getting on the podium was going to be unlikely and I was like "yeah, right" dude will win this race going away. He's a great driver, but combine that with the power gap that RB has over the rest of the field and this will be the result each time. He doesn't have to be perfect each race, everyone else has to be to even have a chance.

Case and point:

Yep, it's really Max and everyone else this season. Ferraris could have kept up some, but that team keeps making self-inflicted errors all too often. Mercedes has nowhere near the speed of the other 2 teams and they'll have to make some changes this offseason if they want to be contenders next season.

It's just a LARGE gap in power between the top 2 (RB & SF) to #3 (Mer). I think if Ferrari could pull their heads outta their butts, they could close the gap to RB.

For all of Merc's problems this season they are still a top 3 team despite the failures of W13. The W13 will likely be the 1st AMG F1 build to not win win a single race in the hybrid era, knocking Mercedes out of P1 on the Manufactures Championship since 2014.

Potential penalty for SC violation not withstanding! They withheld their decision until post race...for reasons.

Great race by Checo. And actually Amy of the small handful of drivers that didn’t have control issues - but Checo was outstanding from lights out.

Gasly to Alpine, de Vries to Alpha Tauri.

That's a huge loss for Mercedes to lose a driver to Alpha Tauri AKA Red Bull!

What is the point of full wets if they red flag the race every time it gets to the point of using them?
