What a drive by sainz, he played this race beautifully, using lando to help himself and him.
What a race

[AverageGamerGuyPlays]

4 drivers and 3 manufacturers fighting for the top step on the last lap is what we’ve been craving all season.

Carlos helping Lando with the DRS was such a brilliant move, it was Win-Win situation for both of them.
500 iq Carlos

[maritta]

The way Carlos developed the perfect strategy by himself, while driving at 300 kmh, in suffocating conditions, and with tons of pressure... Mastermind

Sainz was playing Spanish guitar with DRS & got the win.
Breathtaking closing

[rt-uhmt]

Engineer: "Lando .8 behind with DRS"
Carlos: "That was on purpose."
One of the greatest freaking driver radios ever.

I didn't think Sainz stood a chance against Mercedes' new pairs of tires until I saw that he gave Norris DRS to defend himself. What a brilliant strategy! Shout out to Sainz, he deserves the podium. 🏎🏁

First ever race I've attended in person, and of course it's the race of the season. Absolutely phenomenal experience

[galileo]

I was really thrilled when Carlos told "It's on purpose." to his engineer.

[antedoko]

"It's on purpose " it will stay as legendary quote. SMOOTH OPERATOR AT HIS FINEST

[ronan]

Carlos made me realize that DRS can be more than just an overtake button.

For those who still don’t understand what Sainz did:

Russel (and Hamilton)on new medium tyre are much faster than Sainz and Norris (closing in 2sec/lap), who both on old hards.

Earlier the Mercedes with DRS on straight both easily passed Leclerc, who are also on old hards. So it is clearly that they will pass Norris easily as well, which threatens Sainz’s P1 in no time.

So in order to prevent/ delay this happen, Sainz decided to slow down slightly and keep Norris within 1 sec gap to himself, this gave Norris DRS, which buffer the effectiveness of Russel’s DRS on Norris.

Now that both Norris and Russel gets DRS, their speed on straights are more close, which made Norris able to defend Russel from passing him on straights, and Norris defending Russel will make both of them lose time against Sainz, and THATS THE POINT.

Turns out the plan worked perfectly.

Sainz's strategy with Lando's DRS was simply brilliant.

[mastery]

Sainz giving Lando DRS on purpose to wedge himself between the Mercs is such a brilliant tactical move. Smooth operator for sure.

[RobertLewis]

Carlando working as a team to keep 1-2 was amazing.

[simmer]

Being a Mclaren fan from the Hakkinen era, I never in 20+ years thought I'd be celebrating a ferrari win. But that team, its drivers and its fans have had to endure so much heart ache these last couple of years. A truly deserved win and the masterclass of Sainz, even ex driver pundits didn't realise what he was doing until he announced it on the radio. That is next level. Well done!

[SurajKumar-zgtn]

This is the kind of race that we were expecting after the regulation change. The last lap was breathtaking

[JoCrafter]

No one ist talking about Oscar Piastri is going from p17 to p7. Super impressive and definitely rookie of the year 🔥🔥

[kylereese]

Carlos working with Lando this time is way better than most teammates on the grid for the season.

[ongyongqin]

Props to Carlos for being the only non-RB to win a race this season. Hopefully, this track next year is competitive as well.
