Worth Watching Score

5.1

If you’re into clinical dominance, this is a Max Verstappen masterclass: starting P9, he runs a long first stint on hards, pits late, and makes an inevitable pass on polesitter Sergio Perez to seal a comfortable Red Bull 1-2. The race is bone-dry and caution-free, so there’s little jeopardy or strategy chaos to shake up the front. While there are a whopping 172 overtakes, many are straightforward DRS passes, with Fernando Alonso’s smooth drive to P3 among the few standout moments. Overall, it’s efficient rather than electric—worth a highlights watch for Max’s charge and Alonso’s craft, but light on true drama.
