Lewis taking over 10 laps to pass George with a damaged front wing tells me that the big upgrade package from Mercedes is probably not up to snuff since it looks like the old spec is faster. Not taking anything away from Russell because he defended well too but he definitely had much better pace without that front wing damage.
On another note, well done Carlos! That was a commending victory.
I think even without the penalties, Max would have probably still finished 6th looking at his pace. I recon both Mercs would have overtaken him.
Edit: Just wanted to add, Carlos really is an underrated driver. I feel like if he has more support from Ferrari, he probably would have achieved a lot more. I find him way more consistent than Charles and I'm betting he will be wiping the floor with Albon at Williams.
