Worth Watching Score

5.1

If you’re after a fight for the win, this isn’t it—Max Verstappen dominated from lights to flag and even nabbed fastest lap, never looking threatened. The story was behind him: Mercedes’ upgrades delivered with Lewis Hamilton P2 and George Russell charging from P12 to P3, while Sergio Perez recovered to P4. There were 66 overtakes thanks to the faster final sector, but they were mostly clean and routine, with no safety cars or weather twists to shake things up. Unless you’re keen on Mercedes’ resurgence or watching a clinical Verstappen performance, this one’s more a highlights watch than a full rewatch.
