I'm very happy for Leclerc (and Ferrari after their long dry spell, and I like both their young drivers), but I can't help thinking it's not gonna last. They've been known to falter in the development race and there are 20 more races this year! I think their only chance is if it becomes a 3 way battle with Mercedes coming back and taking points from redbull and they can ride their point cushion to the end, like Brawn did back in the day.
The coolest thing of the w/e to me was Alonso almost nabbing Pole if not for the car breaking down on him...Ok and Albon, good for him! Another Helmut Marko casualty making a comeback.
This season is very topsy turvy, based on setup I guess... Haas goes from Q1 to nowhere, McLaren from nowhere to Q1, Alpine vies for Pole but nowhere special in the race, Mercedes flatters in the race with safety cars but otherwise would be so much further back, alfa is similarly up and down... interesting new rules seem to have teams roll the dice on setup race after race...
