Voting has opened for the RaceDepartment Portuguese Grand Prix 'Driver of the Day'.
With the season now well underway, we enjoyed yesterday our third different pole sitter in as many weekends.
As expected around a track where overtaking can be limited, the start of the race proved to be its most exciting part. There were some good battles amongst the top three as well as interesting scraps in the midfield. As the race unfolded and things settled down, it became mostly about tyre management. With degradation higher than expected the hard compound seemed to be the preferred tyre.
Compared with the last couple of races, there were fewer standout performances this weekend. A few drivers starting out of position made good progress through the field. Others put in good drives but struggled in their second stints on a not very performant medium tyre. The race was otherwise not particularly eventful, however the fact that we should be in for a close championship was once again reaffirmed.
Don't forget to cast your vote for your winner, as we look ahead to next weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
