Should MAG have remained just far enough ahead of MSC to allow MSC to continue to use his DRS and avoid being passed by HAM? I sort of expected that to have occurred. I think some teams would have. After all it was a point position in the balance. And has MSC finally ‘got’ it. He’s had two good outings with definite pressure but drove well. Unlike his crashy beginning to the season. And last year.

And last year. We'll see re: has MSC finally gotten it. I'm still not convinced, but he's certainly been running better lately. Good for him.

Regarding keeping KMag within DRS to keep MSC ahead of Hamilton: I probably would NOT have done that in his case. Hamilton was charging pretty well, and the risk you run is Hamilton getting by MSC and immediately is within striking distance of KMag. If it was more than a Sprint Race maybe you take the chance, but nn this case I don't take issue with the 'everyone for themselves' strategy.

The orange smoke bomb people...it would be totally annoying sitting in the stands dealing with that.

Two pretty fun races in a row to watch. DRS too powerful, but I think Leclerc should write this date down: "Passed Max Verstappen for position three times in one race"

Really liked the stewards approach to track limits.

Late to the party (because I'm on vacation)
but
I love this track, and I think the race was a good one (my personal bias noted). However I think it's a noteworthy result, particularly given Max's performance in the sprint race

Regarding Dutch fans and orange smoke: As thos board's biggest MotoGP fan, I have to tell you all this is nothing to get worked up over. Take a look at this year's MotoGP race from Mugello. There was yellow smoke everywhere despite the fact that Valentino Rossi is retired and not even competing. It's hard for us American's to even comprehend given that most of us loath auto racing (carbon emissions and all)...so don't be too hard on the Dutch fans. But I get your sentiments.
