That must have been frustrating for Leclerc. He had the draft (sorry, slipstream) and his rear wing wide open, and he still made absolutely no headway on Max's lead going down the long backstraight. That's when you know it's not your day to finish P1.
Impressive for Red Bull. They battled Mercedes all 2021, and that distracted them from developing the 2022 car. Mercedes' car is a relative dog this year, yet Red Bull is still at the pointy end of the field. Kudos to Adrian Newey and his staff.
