so Perez does what they're supposed to do if they miss T3 (go to the left of the bollard) and still gets a penalty. FIA's comedy with penalties continues for the second GP in succession

So vettel has maybe 1-2 tenths on verstappen and leclerc currently, even if he catches him with some laps to go chances of overtake are probably null

What a complete joke. FIA punishing Perez for there own mistake in not making the penalty a penalty.

Hamilton radios that something broke on his seat - then sets fastest lap ...

Maybe FIA should hire some of the MotoGP guys who design paths for long lap penalty? I mean, they designed the route drivers have to take when they miss the corner, it is not Perez's fault that that path isn't slow enough

They seem (HAM especially) to be pushing them a little. I'm not sure why they would, buffer for unforeseens?

Hamilton complaining about tires and then setting the fastest lap by far. They really want to make that race look hard but from a viewer-stand point it just looks like a parade. Torro Rossos' battle looks interesting and Kubica vs Russell at the end.

Norris' technical problems are preventing us from having a McLaren battle.

Wow this race was so intense. On the edge of my seat lap after lap!!! The battle of Hamilton - Bottas was the most thrilling experience in the last 5 years!

Can’t believe how close the cars are one from each other, the pack is so tight and competitive it has to be a record setting season. Great job by Pirelli and Liberty Media!

Someone coming to an F1 forum to complain about how boring F1 is. There's something I have never seen before.

Lewis is just an amazing driver. But honestly, this really boring now. After this race i wont watch races for the rest of the season.
Don't blame the Merc team. Blame the others. They put milions and milions in RD for over 5 years now and still cant make a fist against the allmighty merc.

Based on the letter of the law ricciardo should get at least double 5s penalty. one for dangerous rejoin, one for overtake with 4 wheels off the track. There was loads of space on the outsite, but he wanted the inside at all costs.
