Congrats to Lewis again. Pity for Seb. Another clumsy first lap from him.

Heralding ... SIR Lewis Hamilton! Most successful British F1 driver in history. His knighthood is surely around the corner now.
That was a thoroughly thrilling race for all the wrong reasons.

I think Lewis felt like he had a free roll on this one, if Vettel took him on and they both went out, he wins anyway.

Helluva season, Lewis!

Very classy of Vettel to drive along side Lewis to congratulate him on his 4th title.

Superb drive by Max, also very nice competitive driving by Alonso.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

SUrprise surprise, large part of the diffuser was missing for Hamilton, at a track that has basically no grip and 100% reliant on downforce due to the lacking grip and thin air, was still pretty damn fast.

So vettel hits 2 cars on lap one , excedes track limits during his catch up and doesnt not get one single penalty.

Putting emotions aside, it was clumsy. Like somebody already said, Hamilton had to lift off for Verstappen and Vettel failed to follow suit.

I think it is rather fine not to penalize it. In the spirit of harder racing and being more lenient to first lap accidents, this is not a wrong decision. Does not take away however that Vettel was responsible for potentially ruining Verstappen's race, effectively ruining Hamilton's race and also effectively ruining his own race.

It also worrying that Vettel again failed to react properly on what's going on around him. That has been a recurring thing of late.

About that incident. Max (his right to do so) cut Hamilton agressively which made Hamilton lift. Vettel tried keep close to Hamilton to setup for next corner. No malice in that incident. Racing incident. Telemetry maybe?

The Vettel hate is strong!

Classy of @Phil to post what he did.

Vet should be punished for this, amateurish driving.
