My brother is the same. Becomes a complete I sufferable wanker around anything to do with F1. He doesn't even particularly like Verstappen. Just Hamilton is the antichrist.

I've turned off Sky, have they even mentioned Verstappen saying "that's what you get"?

Perfectly illustrates my feeling on the situation. Hamilton would have died today if it wasn't for the halo. The FIA need to consider this when they review the incident.

Much like with Grosjean, even with the halo he was incredibly lucky.

I'm furious sky have ignored what Max said on the radio.

Also after the race Max said Hamilton left him with no where to go :fp: his problem is that he doesn't know where the brake is on his car. If you can't get past a car because it's in your way then you have to brake. Simple as. Max just likes to play chicken and force others out of his way.

Netflix must be rubbing their hands together for footage today.

Bottas from the back to 3rd - amazing!
Lewis and Max drama.
McLaren double, with everyone's favourite Aussie taking 1st.
Vettel being down on his luck.
Horner and toto at each other.

They'll have to make two episodes out of this race at this rate!

Di Resta team Verstappen whereas Herbert is being the rational one (for a change) alongside Hill, saying that there wasn’t a gap as Verstappen had half his car outside the track limits which is how I see it.

The female interviewer did at least point out the hypocrisy of what happened on the first corner where Hamilton backed out and joined safely. Verstappen had no answer other than to fumble out 'it takes two people to get through a corner'.

The problem with that is Max is now treating Lewis as, 'it takes two to get through a corner, but if he's coming out ahead I'm not going to do my part to get us through'. If the FIA don't do something about it today I just don't see it stopping and it strawberry floats the championship. Lewis has yielded time and time again and if the sport continues to force everyone to be subservient to Max then they can get to strawberry float.

Didn’t realise Stroll actually cut the second chicane before pushing Vettel off as well :fp:

3 place grid drop for Verstappen alongside 2 penalty points, he’ll be taking a grid penalty most likely anyway to get a new engine in the mix so kind of a none penalty really. Good he’s got given something for it though.

I mean there is absolutely no doubt that was 100% Verstappen's fault. That was extremely poor driving, an embarrassing mistake for him.

Bit of a joke of a penalty all things considered but I suppose when you look at purely the track and take everything else out of it, there's not much more they can do. There's been more egregious driver to blame incidents but I just think with all the context taken into account Max should have had the entire strawberry floating rule book thrown at him there.

I was expecting at least a 5-place grid-drop to go along with the penalty points.

I think they should introduce a caveat that the penalty must be served by itself, so a team can't make it disappear within an intentional last place penalty. Which would mean it gets delayed to the subsequent race if the team switch out the additional power unit.

Otherwise it's just a farce.

Yep 100% agree. If you choose to take a penalty for a new engine etc then the 3 place grid penalty should apply to the next race.
