I gotta say why a full SC for Ric vs Ves?
They were off the track no major debris that i could see, VSC would be fine maybe even double yellow.

Poor Bottas.

Also poor strategy by Ferrari, it was obvious the game was US and Softs were slow as hell.

- Wonderful Vettel meltdown. He is simply not that good.

- Race ban for Verstappen - that was a criminal move, +2 changes of direction, and braking with a car mm behind. Red Bull deserved it.

- Grosjean - WTF?! Until this point driver of the race. Let's wait. If it's his fault at least Vettel and RB messed up even more :D .
Enjoy the shallow victory only way Hamilton can win.

True. You would see marshals from quite far down the straight. However, it made the end exciting

Always find the gap then use it.

That's what I asked myself too. SC was definitely too much. I don't understand why Charlie deployed it.

Being on the inside made him have to brake way early to make the corner. I do believe though he will be back in Toro Rosso for Spain.

Tough times for Ferrari fans. I’m heartbroken. I can empathise with Hamilton fans in Australia. But wow. Why does this keep happening

I agree - didn’t need the full SC; I get the feeling race direction like to jump on whatever will help ‘the show’

Veeery interesting race. Bottas very unlucky so far. Another race win slipped away. I hope he can get to fight for the title. Vettel's dive was interestingly amateur. Red Bull's incident was massive as well. It looked like a Verstappen mistake. Congrats to Leclerc with a great result. Midfield getting closer.

Come now. Vettel did the same a few races ago. I'm still hoping for a Vettel championship

Gro's wreck should have had a red flag.

The whole pit straight would have been swept by the teams and cleaned up and the Bottas incident would never have happened.

Raikkonen and Perez are under investigation, Raikkonen for 1st lap crash and Perez for using DRS in places where it wasn't allowed
