Might have noticed that 'the lap 1 crash' has probably been mentioned on every slide so far. Before we speak further in detail, here's what went down:

The stewards have decided to not take any action and call it a racing incident. Irrespective of who was at fault, this avoidable three-way crash ruined what could have been a strong race for both Ferrari and Red Bull. Both teams were expected to be far quicker than the Mercedes' and that's exactly what went down through the practice sessions and qualifying.

Either team could have had two drivers on the podium and together could have ensured the Mercedes don't finish higher than fifth. Instead, three of their four cars were out on the first lap and to rub salt in their wounds, the Mercedes finished with a strong 1-3 finish on a track that wasn't most suitable to their car.
