Qualifying
Ferrari put both cars on the second row, which made the race podium a realistic target rather than a surprise.
Race
Deep process analysis belongs here: pace, pit windows, position flow, and strategy calls.
Strategy Principal
Open question: Hamilton's stop was competitive; Leclerc lost time relative to Hamilton. Ferrari still finished P3/P4, but the stop delta is worth review.
Accountability
Race Timeline
Strong platform for podium and double points.
