I think this is the one where it became really apparent that the big fight was going to be Norris vs Verstappen*. As an F1 fan, it's good when there is actual racing, as a Ferrari fan, I'd like it to have been Ferrari but c'est la vie. Things that do prevent Ferrari success include a double DNF.
I don't hold the team responsible for racing incidents and driver errors, which collided in much the same way Albon and Sainz did, but maybe avoid power unit issues!!!
*I mean I knew Russell would fight back if pushed by Verstappen but at the time the Mercedes wasn't near enough for that to matter.
