Safety cars made that more interesting than it might've been. I was hoping for some rain!
Feel bad for RB (VCARB). Yuki had a poor weekend of course, but Daniel was doing pretty good today, until Stroll rear-ended him before the restart of the first SC. Both DNF'd.
Sainz and Checo did alright, but I was expecting more from them both.
Norris did great (and was DOTD), but my personal DOTD was Alonso, especially after his crazy save.

Those last 10 laps or so were pretty spicy. Sure, Herta kinda ended that Dixon and Newgarden fight, but I'm not sure that Newgarden would've passed Dixon for P1 even if that hadn't happen. Dixon is a beast.
Theo Pourchaire, the reigning F2 Champion, had a great IndyCar debut, finishing P11 from P22! He apparently hadn't sat in an IndyCar until this weekend for practice and such.

Quite an exciting weekend. Drivers having problems keeping it on track during FPs, Albon's crash and Logan's sacrifice, a pretty good Quali, and then Max's shocking DNF in the early laps of the race.
But if I'm being honest, the rest of the race wasn't that exciting. What does that say about current state of F1?
Anyway, moral of the the weekend: get your appendix removed; you'll become a Smooth Operator.
