On the grid it was confirmed that F1 has renewed its deal with Pirelli until the end of 2019. It was ironic therefore that what played out was a race very untypical of the Pirelli era, one where tyre degradation was just not an issue and drivers were able to push hard throughout, even on a one-stop strategy. “It was intense,” said one of the race’s star performers Felipe Nasr, seventh across the line in his Sauber less than a minute behind the winning Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. “It was very different from the usual sort of race. There was no tyre saving at all. I pitted after 34 laps only because I had 100% wear – there was no tread left. But up until then the performance was still good. I much prefer this way of racing.”
