Track limits? They are just all over the place
It looked more like Darwin 'Survive of the fittest'

Kvyat what an idiot. Same like in China

[Guisson]

Kvyat is such a silly driver....
What an idiot !!
Really gutted for Seb

[Juzh]

retard russian strikes again. So much for "i will take more risks" lunacy.

Kvyat

Having considered last race's incident a racing incident I'm not so sure this time it wasn't deliberate, as a revenge for being schooled by Vettel publicly. Stewards should take a deep look into telemetry data.
Should it have been a revenge action he should be banned from racing for life.

[RZS10]

He was just going for nonexistent gaps again ... is racing ... huehuehue ... you can't expect him to see cars and ---

[F1NAC]

They should ban him for next race. Whats the difference between that and belgium 2012...

[ME4ME]

What ever happened to the good old penalty of disqualification! Kvyat

[Mandrake]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our new Maldonado

[basti313]

Well he tried the same like last race...go too fast into the first corner and try if it works. Good position after lap 1 by a hilarious move is the only way for him to look good. I would not be surprised if Marco sacks him mid season.

Now it will be an incredibly interesting race....just left the question when Ham will get Bot...moan....

Why Kvyat wasn't disqualified is beyond me, that wasn't even GP3 racing, it was friday night karting after a few beers.

A few cars gained some places by running wide at turn 2 on the first lap while others were busy waiting for traffic. I wonder why there is no action on that front.

Precisely but the answer is simple - Hamilton - now cry me a river about bad luck. In a normal world Whiting would be in jail for fraud. How can they investigate Sainz and ignore Hamilton pushing Rosberg in USA '15? Same thing.

Normal first lap incident but it's important who you hit. Ricciardo took out a dozen of drivers at starts like that - one or two investigations - no penalties, Bottas - Grosjean USA, Massa Alonso USA '15, Raikkonen - Maldonado (driver into wall) Australia '15 nothing and so on. Let's see if they will give 10s SG every time it happens. Didn't Alonso get only a drive through for much worse in AD '14 and nothing for Australia?

[RZS10]

Wait... that styrofoam thing that has been placed in turn2 is forcing you to drive towards the wall and then abruptly onto the track ... for safety?

btw does anyone NOT have iotar muted?
