I was never a huge fan of theirs but it's sad to see them that bad now wasting Leclerc and Vettel's talent. And with the token system it'll be another year before they can even do anything...
On the flip side, I really enjoyed that "terrible" Renault engine blowing by everyone except Mercedes and especially getting one red bull (smoke that Marko), and seeing the yelow cars 4-5... The only + of a boring race...

It sounds like they saved up fuel past the meter and could also release it more or less at once.
But don't forget about the oil burning either. Their performance dropped a little after each of the "clarifications".
