Vettel after the race : "Lewis brake-tested me on the first corner!!!""

Hamilton commenting on 1st lap incident

It's true, penalty was complete BS.

I agree. Ves made up 5 places by cutting the track as well...

Dude go away, your just a Ves basher.

He wanted a bigger penalty though

I know what he wanted and I agree with him the penalty should have been more severe. It was plainly obvious well before the breaking point that vettel wasn't going to get past bottas because Lewis was intentionally blocking him. Regardless Vettel just bulldozed into bottas.

[GPR-A duplicate2]

I know, but to speak as if he earned it himself is a bit far fetched...

Now that is rubbish. You don't earn anything without good work. He didn't ask Vettel to make that mistake.

So it seems people were wrong who said Ferrari had better race pace in the dry :p
OK OK I know, not fair...
Still, I think also people who kept calling Raikonnen out for being a bad driver in this thread got their answer too.
Kinda.

"Holy crap look at freds broken A-Arm"
what happened to Alonso?

Yeah, Vettel penalty was kinda weak considering the SC and stuff.
Mercedes teamwork was very nice (if they boxed Vettel in on purpose, they did a fine job).

Track is good, just needs a change for the pit entry and exit.

The hate on the forum is strong. It was undoubtably a poor effort from Seb on the first corner but was it any different to Bottas at Baku or Spain last year? I don't remember penalties being given that day and incorrectly so. Vettel got a fair penalty today.

[komninosm]

What are the trophies supposed to be?
(F football , no HD for F1 sucks)

[JonoNic]

Vettel deserved the penalty, Hamilton and Verstappen innocent and clear. Bottas unlucky but should know the danger of being on the outside. I hope Vettel comes back next weekend

Which is perfectly allowed when there is carnage on the first lap.

Agree, but its cheeky. He gained a huge advantage by doing so.

Best trophy ever

They’ll be able to spot that one from a ways out.

O please man, every time someone says something you don't like you throw out comments like this.

Your boy just loses control everytime when the pressure is on and tries to take out the whole field.
He needs to get a black flag and sit at home and watch a race maybe.

[atanatizante]

Such a pity for Bottas he ended with a big difusser damage after the first corner incident, otherwise, we could have seen a glimpse of the real Merc race pace today ... as an irony, he did the fastest lap of the day: 1,34.222

And in the end, we must add some 2-3 tenths from Lewis`s pace to see the real deal ...

Oh please. 5 second penalty was enough
