Missed the beginning of the race so didn't see what happened to Piastri but had witnessed Sainz retiring at lap 23.
Atleast Leclerc made it on the podium and Hamilton showed that Mercedes can still get fastest lap even if he had to put on the mediums right at the end to do it.
Seeing the table for driver's championship after round 13 of the season during the checkered flag post show goes like this:
1. Max Verstappen - 314 points
2. Sergio Perez - 189 points
3. Fernando Alonso - 149 points
4. Lewis Hamilton - 148 points
The season is already Red Bull's at the halfway point as nobody can make up enough points to even come close.
It was a bummer that we are likely getting a 3-week break after the Belgium Grand Prix until we can see the Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2023 In the Netherlands for sure this is an opportunity for the engineers to likely upgrade the cars legally this time,
On Oscar Piastri I also didn't see what happened to him, or why he was DNF in the race but he was really doing fine in the Sprint it was a shocker for him to be unlucky in the race, but for sure team McLaren is showing good confidence in the next event and this likely summer break will be a great time to make adjustments and upgrades for their car,
