It wasn't a classic by any stretch, but the Portuguese Grand Prix was confirmation of two things we've suspected for a while: Mercedes and Red Bull are incredibly closely matched, and the Hamilton-Verstappen battle has the potential to be a box office rivalry.
The margin of Hamilton's 29-second victory is misleading, masking the fact he had to pass both Verstappen and Bottas to win the race and glossing over the fight for fastest lap that dropped Verstappen and Bottas back after making late pit stops for fresh tyres.
Hamilton's championship lead over Verstappen is just eight points after three races.
