What a shame for him to lose the win, but at least a consolation podium that could easily not have happened. And a sharp dose of motorsport pain is just as much a rite of passage as one's first win.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
And Norris is looking like a great hire at the right time for McLaren.

I really enjoyed watching him race but I'm completely fine with the current lineup, personally. He'd be better off going and winning everything else that he can himself get a drive for.
I actually really liked how light the stewards were for this race.
If 2 guys are side by side then unless someone has obviously run the other guy off the track they should let them get on with it.
Some close racing which bodes well for the season, Norris showing he's as quality as he looked last year in testing. Ferrari definitely have a faster car, the petrol engine is quicker than Mercedes for the first time, wonder if they'll develop at a better rate, remains to be seen if their aero package is going to cause them trouble at other tracks. Red Bull have work to do, but Max will have them fighting. Should be a great season, Lewis for the title again though I think (hopefully!). If not then LeClerc has the pace, hope he can see it through.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
The season is promising in terms of the closer fight, but of course Hamilton top class as always.
Maclaren showing a good pace while Haas lacking during the race. I am really sad looking at Renault right now, hopefully, they will get their things together.
Nico already had the best lid and this is even better. I hope lots of drivers see these and move more towards great, simple graphic designs rather than the messy fades and sparkles we've seen for the last decade or so.
agree - the helmet design trends of the last good few years are a mess
It appears Ferrari are willing to hobble their entire season in an effort to favour the fading Vettel over the rising Leclerc. I would have thought anyone in doubt as to whether letting teammates properly race is a decent strategy just needs to look at Mercedes over the last few years. Hamilton has been kept honest by his teammates. Favouring one driver over the other before the season has really got going is a recipe for resentment from driver 2 and complacency from driver 1. I doubt they’ll change, but if they don’t I think we’re in for another car-crash season from Ferrari.
Random thoughts:
- Where are Ferrari's strategy people and wtf are they doing? LeClerc should have been at least one spot further up, but I wonder if they didn't want him to push so they didn't need to make a decision between him & Seb.
- I'm also sick of the whole "Ferrari are quicker than Merc" stuff from both press and Mercedes. It's relentless and stupid and has only really been true in Bahrain so far.
- Great to see McLaren properly back in it. I can't see them ever really pushing for titles in the current manufacturer-dominated era, but I'm very glad they're not at the back.
- Bottas has well and truly grown the beard and is clearly a bigger threat to Lewis than either Ferrari driver at this point.
- If Bottas wins a title will that diminish Hamilton's titles as this will be remembered even more as a "Mercedes era" than a "Hamilton" one.
- Ocon ain't getting a race seat.
