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...
Drunk comment? He was 4th on track when it happened, second after. Strong race, finally a good one for Kimi too. Any info on RICs pace?

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.
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.
This is racing and stuff like this can happen. He thought he had the grip to do it but unfortunately not. This is the last he wants but yeah racing and talking afterwards is always easy. Penalty was more then enough.

Oh please. 5 second penalty was enough
It was enough in your opinion, as far as I'm concerned is should have been more, but wasn't because as usual the stewards are raging cowards. They are always lenient when it might effect the championship or race outcome.

Vettel being driver of the day is a joke, his fans are like Trump supporters at this point. Delusional.

Well, if he backed of and taken the corner as the others did, he would have been 6th or 7th. :wink:
Instead he choose to blast through that escape road and almost come out in the lead!

You missed the point, your point of view of American politics doesn't belong here.

Hmm... I thought Vettel might have got a harsher penalty than 5s, but clearly my opinion is in the minority. How he managed to get driver of the day is beyond me.

Agreed - Hamilton drove to a Grand Slam today, and somehow Vettel, who crashed on lap 1, and then ran out of tyres on the hardest compound is somehow the driver of the day?

I know. The guy needs to get a grip specially considering how he performed under pressure he had on him in 2010 and 2012 in the last race.
