I kind of forgot this season was still happening.
Looks like McLaren and Ferrari have solved their problems? Or was it some sort of fluke that they were both near the front instead of the back?

But I must add that they got lucky with that McLaren pit stop that took a lil longer than expected, but isn't racing all about luck

It's all luck. Congrats to RB but a 2.3 second lead is nothing in F1 and that pit stop denied LH two straight wins.

this is what Mclaren think about RB's well deserved win:
" When the tyres for Lewis Hamilton

Hamilton did not cut the lead down from 6.5 to 2.5 seconds. Rubens coasted the last lap or 2. He had a solid 4.5 lead at the least during that last stunt before the final few laps.
Great race by Rubens. When Heiki pitted after the first session, Rubens set some blistering times and came out ahead of him after he pit. After Hamilton pitted after the 2nd session, Rubens against set blistering times - 2 fastest laps at the time. The tire issue cost hamtilton about 4 seconds, Rubens came out about 6 seconds ahead of hamilton. It would have been close but rubens still would of had him.
