Yeah, Ocon on pole would have been great! We rarely get those kinds of surprises these days – the last real one was Pérez on podium in Baku this year (though not as out of nowhere as Stroll last year ).

I'd prefer Hamilton winning myself. But I'm really glad we have drivers from two teams fighting for the championship – it's much more interesting than when it was two Mercedes drivers fighting for the title every year!

Yeah, this battle is a lot better than the ones from 2014-16.

I think the problem is that the gap between the big teams and the rest is too big, and that's because prize money isn't distributed evenly enough.

That's true. I miss the 2012 season – I don't think I appreciated it enough back then! Seven different winners in first seven races, including probably one of the weirdest results in ages with Maldonado winning. Räikkönen became the eighth winner later that season, and Pérez, Grosjean and Hülkenberg weren't that far from taking their first wins either. It's sad to think none of those drivers will probably ever win a race...
