How mad are you hamilton got rekt today?

Did he really got rekt?

He did actually.

Please expand. Finished 2nd, albeit with some very good fortune, in a car that all things being equal should of been 5th.

[Silent Storm]

Vettel showing yet more weaknesses. When he is pushed to the limit he doesn't have the mental capacity of some of the others.

Alonso really got under his skin today.
Race finished and he is involved in yet another moment.

I don't see his comment on Alonso as some weakness in mental capacity. But then, not surprised to see kids attacking or defending drivers.

Did he really got rekt?
The mercedes was clearly the third fastest car today and he came home with 2nd place.
If that´s your definition of getting rekt im a little bit confused.

The fastest car had to come up through the grid let's overlook that...

Dont forget the disgusting deal they aparently have with Haas. When Alonso was behind Kevin, he blocked him left and right and closing him down. When Vettel approached he just moved away and let him past...I would also punish this types of cartel arrangements. Ferrari should be ashamed today.

I sort of agree here, but by the same token it's not like Williams drivers are ever giving Merc drivers a hard time.

Looking at the replay, vettel was on a constant arc before being hit, stroll simply didn't turn into the corner. There was like 5 meters of space but he just nodded off.

I think looking at it again, Vettel was moving left on the track (look at the rubber lines) stroll was moving right and they touched.

Stroll is a rookie, should give these guys more room

Vettel new gearbox for next week seems to be highly likely.

It is a left turn

Nobody is overlooking that. But the third fastest car still managed to secure 2nd place.
For Mercedes this is almost as good as a win.
They extended both championships in a race where they were not even close to be the fastest car.

"but they got rekt" yea if you´re delusional.

Vettel was behind, it's his job not to crash in to the car in front when overtaking, Stroll wouldn't have known where Vettel was and what he was doing until it was too late.

Great result for the championship sure, but let's not act that was some fantastic drive, circumstances were in his favour.

Now I've seen the replay from multiple angles, I still don't get how this is Stroll's fault. Sure he doesn't immediately turn left, but it is a cool down lap, why is Vettel taking that angle and so close on him anyway? I wouldn't penalize him, but he is coming from behind and needs to look where he is going.

Stroll hit Vettel, not the other way around. Vettel was a half a car in front when Stroll hit him. Stroll just did not turn left in a left hand corner.

I´m just pointing out how Ferrari just keeps digging their own holes.
It´s like they have a list of how to F up your race and they just keeps ticking every box.

[szlaszlo84]

I am going out on a limb here, but I think Ferrari was trying to avoid scrutineering and Vettel crashed intentionally. You just don’t get into amateur crashes post race like that.
