I think the big takeaway from this race was the penalties, for what should have been racing incidents. If drivers are going to be punished for racing, drivers will shy away from racing, for fear of penalties.
Great drive from Lando Norris, to finish third despite the five-second penalty, special mention to George Russell, despite finishing outside the points, excellent drive all weekend, to get into the top 10 in qualifying to fending off Fernando Alonso for many laps in the closing stages, even if he ultimately lost out to the Spaniard. British motorsport looks bright with talents like Norris and Russell on the grid.
