If Verstappen didn't refuse to learn from last week he would've won.

A surprising race after a boring start. Well done to Ric.

Championship gap to reduced to 9 points between Lewis and Seb, who would've thought that after the first lap because it was looking like 32 points, massive swing today.
This is what we want, a unpredictable championship...

Congrats to Dani Ric, brilliant! Maxy should have waited with his contract, I am sure Mercedes would have offered him 10m per season after this race. :lol:
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Must really feel gutted for Vettel, didn't put a foot wrong whole weekend to finish 8th, when he could have won.

But indeed, crazy to say that we have a new Maldonado. Welcome Max, the red mist driver who thinks he owns the road.
Maybe he could have been smarter and somehow just let him through. He would have passed him anyway.

Max showing some glimpse of his father. I hope he grows up soon. Well done to Bottas and Ricciardo

Well done to Daniel. He was on fire after the restart. I have to say that Bottas drove brilliantly as well

FER was lucky in first race and unlucky today, sometimes it happens. Without that crash I think it could have been two RB in front, BOT, VET, RAI, HAM

The luck that Vettel had in race 1 totally abandoned him today.

I wonder how many times will the words lucky, unlucky or if will be used at the end of this race?

But but but but so many candidates :-D

Bottas robbed through no fault of his own.
Vettel robbed through no fault of his own
Raikkonen first sacrificed but better of in the end
Hamilton able to reduce champ gap through no doing of his own

Etc etc

Anyone remember what happened to the last Red Bull driver who torpedoed into the side of Vettels Ferrari?

I seem to remember a chat with the team principle and a firing.

Let it go. Vettel did the same last year

If you’re talking about Baku, it was a drive through - bigger punishment.

It’s not just about this incident anyway, it’s hitting Hamilton last week, trying round the outside of Hamilton at a corner where it wasn’t going to happen this week - he needs to calm down. He’s like Marquez, there’s a real sense of entitlement.


I think that the win of RIC is a bigger punishment. I guess it hurts more knowing that he could be up there than the 10 seconds. In that respect RIC is a good teacher, shows him that you sometimes can achieve more with restraint than outright speed, hope he gets the lesson.

Two unbelievably dumb manouvers for Max, just wait a little.
