Come on guys, its RACING not all out war.

It's a good thing because the team with the biggest fan base would surely loose that!

"Interesting tactic from the other team" - Lewis Hamilton

[hollowBallistix]

Hamilton should have had a better start, the incident between him & Kimi wasn’t deliberate, was just a standard racing incident.

Vettel done well to push Bottas & overtake him for the lead, Hamilton done well to recover & get 2nd.

Onto the next one.

Kimi took responsibility for the mistake and apologised. Meanwhile Hamilton is on the podium implying it was a Ferrari strategy. One is a great demonstration of sportsmanship, the other... wasn’t.

Hamilton avoids interview?

[Big Tea]

Had Lewis started well, it would not matter. It could be a controlled race.

BUT which would you prefer to watch? a procession or THIS??????

The teams are in it for publicity, can you ask better than this?

[Silent Storm]

Bottas did 31 laps on those M tyres while Hamilton did 27. So Bottas tyres were just 4 laps older than Hamilton.

That's what I thought too, very poor attitude from Hamilton, there was no malice from Kimi, Kimi has never taken anyone out it is not in his character.

I personally prefer to see the best driver in the best car win, not bumper cars and randomness!

Master Vettel !!!
He overtook Hamilton at the start and Bottas at the end of the race.
A fantastic and well deserved win from Vettel.

[Poleman]

If Hamiltons attitude was poor then what was Kimi's in the cooldown room? Not even a word or just an apology so not the best show of sportsmanship either no? At least thats what i would have done.

Everyone with a little ambition is a bad looser and should be. That's no problem here. Trying to spread fake news is the problem (if he really did that).

Great. You enjoyed that since 2014. It was quite boring for me honestly... This year is much better no matter who wins the Championship

Can we discuss how the SC helped Ferrari?

Bottas was closing the gap on Vettel. (from 4 to sub 2s)
Hamilton was closing the gap on Kimi and Verstappen. (from 12+ to ~4s)

Highly likely they would have overtaken them respectively.

This would have resulted in Vettel getting 3 more points than Hamilton, now it was 7 points.

Yeah, that's what I said in the forum chat.
It would be nice to see if Ferrari and Red Bull could go to the end with 1 pitstop or if they had to do 2 (without SC) or if there was a tire blowout.

I have to say, I’m disappointed in Toto. He’s usually a good sport, but clearly when times get tough he gets cruel.

Kimi would never crash on purpose. I think we all know that. It was undoubtably unfortunate - and he took responsibility (and the penalty). But wow... both toto and Lewis implying it’s some evil conspiracy against them. Just leaves a really bad taste in your mouth
