Why is Bottas being penalized? Because Lewis turned in on him? Or did something else happen while I was out smoking?

Did you smoke something else other then cigarettes?

Was Bottas not penalized? And in the US it's too early to be smoking weed. I might've snuck in a beer or two though. Juse kidding, too early for beer too.

Edit: Just checked again and Bottas definitely had the apex. His front wheel hit the front of Lewis's sidepod and front wheel so its not like Bottas wasn't far enough up.

Even broken mercedes is still too fast

Don't be silly, it's never to early for beer..

Kimi might well win this. If he pressures Nico, I reckon Nico will cave in. Bizarre strategy call from Hamilton's side of the garage.

Great drive from Grosjean in the Haas. Great racing going on through the field.

If pressed, i think the stewards would tell you he got the penalty for not avoiding the collision. I mean talk about a dive bomb.

Great bit of racing between Eric and Mag. Good stuff lads!

[F1NAC]

Grosjean will be in front of Vettel in championship and tied with kimi

[Just_a_fan]

Go Grosjean! Haas and he would have sold their kidneys for a season start like this one!

[Shrieker]

Nice gift from Bottas...
He ruined the only fight that would matter and save the race from being a borerain.

[Pierce89]

I've NEVER been a Vettel fan, but I just have a hunch he would've been awesome in this race.

[F1NAC]

Wth happened with FI?

[f1316]

Could have been a really interesting race with all four top cars running together, I think- Raikkonen gained time throughout the race after eventually getting passed Massa into 2nd.

As it is, Rosberg really didn't have to do much in either race to get maximum points. No one's fault (except maybe Ferrari engine builders) but so disappointing because pace between top four is so close.

[Gothrek]

First point of the season for McLaren scored by a rookie

[Sevach]

I wonder why the Ferrari engine is so solid in a Haas.
But at this point it's neither the most powerful nor reliable.
If it's fixable they might win races, pace is decent.

Good stuff from Grosjean, Vandoorne and Werhlein.

This race was boring as he** thanks to Nico BS back up move in turn 1 again and then Bottas spearing Lewis!
