Really underserved victory, Bottas should have won instead
You know, i agree, Bottas should have/could have, but i am not that convinced we might not have seen a tussle for the lead with Hamilton closely behind, gap at 1.2, on those cold ultras. Would have been great to see.

And lets not forget that strategy brought Bottas in contention in the first place. In the first stint he was as far back as 6 seconds to Hamilton.

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

- 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.
Race 1 at Melbourne?!? Only way Vettel won that race

Wow!!!!!! Feel for Bottas, would have been really happy for him to get it. Hat off to Vettel for giving it a go...

Coulthard saying it’s Danny Rics fault, ultimately yes....but that has to be a weave

Raikkonen and Perez are under investigation, Raikkonen for 1st lap crash and Perez for using DRS in places where it wasn't allowed
That's a DQ for Perez then i believe...

Clearly another typical dive bomb action from Ricciardo, that this time went wrong..

Interesting to see how far people go to blame everything on Verstappen.

Lucky win for Hamilton.

Gutted for Bottas, didnt deserve that, the moment he went over that debris I could see it coming. Seb probably regrets that move now because he would've won the race but least he went for it.

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

Exactly with that lorry on track aswel they should of red flagged the race.

Yeah, he didn't even have chance to defend. He must be very angry...

On Verstappen vs Ricciardo i don't think Verstappen moved enough to call it moving in the braking zone or double weaving, from the front his line is pretty straight.

I might go Ricciardo's fault on that one.

And more than one direction change is allowed?

I believe they're allowed to change directions as much as they want before the breaking Zone to break the tow.
