Whatever way you look at it, there is a trophy coming back to Brackley this week, and that can only be seen as a good thing. Our first from a Grand Prix in 2024 and second overall after Lewis' P2 in the China Sprint is a fine reward for the effort of everyone trackside and back at base.
We came away from Bahrain in March with a 45-second deficit to the winner. Eight races later, and Verstappen was in sight - just four seconds up the road.
Perhaps more pleasing is that both drivers felt even more was possible.
"It was challenging out there, just one small millimetre off line and you were in trouble. I am disappointed in myself today, I made too many errors and that cost us victory," said George.
It was not the mistakes themselves, but more where they were made, as far as George was concerned.
"I made the errors at parts of the circuits where people could overtake me easily, on the straights," he added.
"Everyone went off at some point, but it did not affect them in the same way."
Lewis said: "Overall I will take away the improved performance of the car, but it was not my best weekend.
"We had the pace to be fighting higher up."
Toto added: "P3 and P4 is better than what we have had in previous races, but both drivers felt that more was on offer.
"We could have gained a position or two and I think that is why there is a negative sentiment about things. But we would have taken this result at the beginning of the weekend."
