Track limits? And he wasnt squezzed

[Shakeman]

Track position is king with so few laps remaining.

I posted just after max and Vettel pitted it would of covered their strategy and have fresher tyres. What if Lewis hits the cliff or they go bang..

No team will exchange so much lead for fresher tyres and put the risk of overtaking into the equation.

Lewis won the race by healthy margin by not pitting.

He'd of won either way

[NathanOlder]

Max done. 5 sec pen

[Phil]

Max, i bow to you. Balls of steel. Wow!

[Silent Storm]

His race pace was better than Vettel, Max was on fresh tyres Kimi wasn't.

Max got 5 sec penalty.

I thought the same thing. You can bet Ferrari will complain to the stewards.

[Restomaniac]

So Hamilton needs a single 5th place from 3 races.

[Phil]

Yes. Wdc in the bag. Its a formality now.

That was a great race, I love this track.

What a move by Max, I thought he's missed his only chance, wow..... just wow, driver of the day for me.

Bottas was poor, his shocking pace in the early laps cost him the podium

[fiohaa]

well...even if he took to 4 wheels off the track. Still move of the decade to be honest. The build up, the set up, the testing of different lines, the staying out of turbulent air, taking a much tighter line into that corner in previous laps. Then the execution.

If we're going with absolute black and white clear cut all 4 wheels off the track - fine. But.....its never deployed in a black and white fashion and down to judgement.
It was an overtake on the limit. Penalty not deserved.

[Restomaniac]

So how many cars have left the race track this weekend again?

Yet when it suits!!!

[Phil]

I have to say, i am slightly disappointed with how easy Bottas made it Vettel at the end....

[Unc1eM0nty]

Spoke too soon Max demoted

Too bad he left the track for that. But yes he can sniff some blood
