I just voted Bottas driver of the day. I understood from a previous race that the race winner perforce has to be driver of the day. Or is that just when Hamilton wins? :-D Exactly what did Bottas do to be a driver of the day, except being handed the win by the stewards? I vote driver of the day - t...

Hamilton complaining, maybe you should read a rule book. Yup Handing stupid penalties for nothing only makes it look like it's done on purpose to handicap races and WDC. F1 has been a sport where drivers were much more rule breaking in the past, during races, doing stupid and crazy things (by today...

And because this is "oh so dangerous..." and did nothing to noone let's decide a whole race by a rule that's not even in the rule book...
Pathetic. Then they wonder why interest in F1 is sinking. Nobody wants to watch races being decided by stupid rules and stewards.

Aspar

F1 is becoming more and more a circus. Pathetic stewards. Why give such penalty for something that is not even during the race and is not danger to anyone. Such pathetic attempts to bring back some competition in the WDC.

I don't excuse the guys at the back, just saying that Bottas has his share in the cause of the incident. According to the rules the leader, who essentially becomes the safety car decides when to restart, BUT overtakes may start to happen when cars pass the safety line car. Where is it on this track...

What Bottas did was stupid. Even if he did not break any regulation, still it was stupid. Never seen a pilot do this, on the start line in the moment the safety car leaves. People have to understand that things happen in split of a second and a lot of things are done by instinct and by expectation, ...

Grats champion!
Keep on going!!!

I think by now, even the most bitter and hateful fans, even not admitting it openly, have realized that Hamilton is the greatest of this generation and the one reaching for GOAT, rivaling with MS for this title. Is it the car or the driver? It's a fluid mixture, they are both important. The car more...

Aspar

Tracks like this one should be removed from the calendar. What a bore. Nobody can overtake anybody unless +2 sec faster. Glad I didn't waste time to watch it all and slept through most of it. Next please, doesn't even worth discussing it, nothing really happened, except Merc screwing Hamilton and Fe...

Aspar

What Merc did with the decision to pit Lewis shows something very important. They have absolute faith in the fact they have the best driver and possibly the only one that could do what he did. They pitted him and gave him cart-blanche for full hammertime and he delivered. He would have probably over...

podium yes, win don’t think it’s on the cards today

Quite a large stretch to get to podium here I think. Just a bad race fro Merc this one and it all, ironically started with Verstappen.

What happened (missed a bit) did Luis box?

Aspar

We need Hamilton to pass bottas of we want a race for the lead. Bottas will just sit and follow If not for Verstappen sleep, Hamilton would have gotten past Botas, who didn't have the greatest start too, but that fail from Max saved him. Luis will have problems overtaking Bottas now, don't see how ...

This is the first time an incident like this has been punished. There is no consistency. Hamilton did worse at Monaco 2016 and got away scott-free. You are talking 3 years ago. Clearly too many incidents like this have happened and stewards are starting to penalize acting like this. In past years w...

Daniel Ricciardo about the penalty against Vettel: "If he pulls a little further to the left, he'll spin. When he brakes on the grass, he'll spin too. There was not much room for Lewis but still enough.“ If this is so true then Vettel should have let Hamilton pass him. Plus it looks like Vettel flo...

Aspar

I feel sorry for Leclerc, because Ferrari are sacrificing him in favor for Vettel. If he wants the better strategy, maybe he should be quicker than Vettel in qualifying next time. So you say, because he wasn't ahead of Vettel in Q the team shoud f..up his strategy? What a hilarious logic. Merc coul...

Honestly, getting tired with all that moaning, complaining and lies from Vettel. The penalty was spot on, he makes a forced error, under pressure, goes out of track, and rejoins unsafely with the sole purpose to block Hamilton who was overtaking him and then blatantly lies there is no where to go. I...

Aspar

Merc screwed up again in Monaco and only luck didn't cost them the race this time, that's why Hamilton was a bit grumpy at the end, cause they put him without much need in a very tight spot.

Aspar

Verstappen is such a... Feels like this guy can't do anything without causing a collision in 90% of the cases he tries to overtake, such a bad decision making.

Aspar

Thank you for the info guys. Seems like Merc overthinking again "rain", "SC", hope it won't cost them a race that should have been easily theirs.

Aspar

Just catching up, why is Hamilton with Mediums while all others are with hards? What's merc's idea or they just screwed with strategy, as usual on this track?

Aspar

Congratulations Lewis!

Wise by Hamilton to go careful, no need to take risks.

All, except Vettel, drove like an idiot into Bottas, lucky again he didn't get damage, Bottas had to go out of the track.

What a masterful drive by Lewis today. Absolute monster, real champ. And looks like Merc really did it right this time after all. Max is starting to look like a clown, will he really keep on doing those stupid things and then asking "what for?". Again great race and absolute winner by LH. Bottas an...

Aspar

Did Merc just totally flopped this?
Ruined Hamilton's chance for 1st by keeping him out?
Why?
Do they really think they can battle at the end with fresher tyres?

Aspar

Because there isn't any logic in doing it. There isn't any logic in considering any other driver at the moment at all. Hiring a cheaper driver instead of LH would suggest that Mercedes are in the show for saving money, which is exactly opposite for which they are there - making money. To do that, in...

Aspar

What a farce, why are they allowed to pit under VSC?

Aspar

I think there is a hidden play here and though many of you surely have read it when it was out, many have forgotten it - VW (AUDI). There was, not so long ago, a notion that VW is considering entering F1 (as AUDI most probably) BUT not at the current state of regulation in F1 and that they are watch...

Alonso hits Hamiltons car and then asks about track limits, the only driver that played it clean was Hamilton. Was a lovely little duel there though. Apart from Alonso asking about a legal pass Alonso has always been a whiney primadona, but he still has skills and that fight with Hamilton was joy t...
