Whatever the faults of F1 right now, it was a good race at Catalunya today.
Antonelli is obviously an exceptional talent, and a future world champion, probably at the end of this year.
But it was also lovely to see Lewis win again, and a Ferrari win.

Kimi is slightly better than George, they've had the fastest car up until yesterday but I've not seen Kimi do anything special of note to be putting him up alongside Lewis or Max just yet.
Maybe the modern iteration of F1 doesn't show up what a Lewis or Max did at the beginning of their F1 careers.

First 'Full English' podium since 1958 when there were three instances:
- Belgian GP - Tony Brooks, Mike Hawthorn, Stuart Lewis-Evans
- British GP - Peter Collins, Mike Hawthorn, Roy Salvadori
- Portuguese GP - Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, Stuart Lewis-Evans
Sadly, Collins and Lewis-Evans were killed in Grand Prix before the year was out and Hawthorn was killed in a car crash the following January only three months after retiring from racing.
