Raikkonen has left more than enough room for Verstappen to stay on the track.

We have countless examples from his career to prove that Rosberg doesn't understand the concept of wheel to wheel racing.

and there were other examples of overtakes also exceeding the track limits it means the precedent had been set. What were these other overtakes? If we're talking precedents then Verstappen's punishment was actually pretty lenient. A drive through/20 second penalty tends to be standard when you over...

GingerFurball Looking back this race you see many drivers going off track with four wheels while doing an overtake. Why that was allowed and Max his action on Kimi wasn't is the thing people talk about and want to have this cleared up for future races to come. It's like being in class and the teach...

@MDS Excuse my poor written part about the rules, yes this is clear to the drivers. But if they are so clear why the inconsistency? If they get that right and use the rules to enhance the experience for the viewers and to make it clear to the drivers what they can or can't do there is no problem. L...

Frankly, Button was lucky to not find himself beaten by 100+ points in 2012. While I agree Lewis was superior in 2012, Button had serious setup issues for a number of races, which severely affected his performance. I don't think the race results are a true reflection of their relative performances ...

Verstappen is getting far too much praise for finishing 1 place ahead of his absolute worst case scenario.

Comments on Perez vs Ocon, anyone? Perez all bullish over the team radio and then pretty much gets humiliated by Ocon? I have this feeling that Perez is starting to feel a bit insecure over Ocon being so close to him. In the beginning of the season he was better but since Monaco Ocon has outscored ...

Pretty open-and-shut penalty, from my point of view. Max couldn't have made the pass without leaving the track, he wasn't forced off track, and he didn't return the position. How is that not a penalty, honestly? Because it goes against the precedent set in 2016 where Verstappen can do whatever he w...

Sainz on Perez for me.

This was turn 1.... https://twitter.com/Cla_Cottingham/status/922218324460793856 The response will be here that it's turn 1 and first lap and that that's the reason. In the replies to that tweet is also the example of Sainz passing Perez and doing the same thing as Max, and nothing was done about t...

Maybe I need to see more angles but it looked from the outside view he did not have all four off. Looks like he did on the on board but you cant see the rears.

I suggest getting your eyes tested.

GingerFurball

Which other driver left the track with all 4 wheels and made a pass? Bottas over Ricardo early in the race and then Bottas also did it to Verstappen - IIRC Vettle did it to Bottas when he squeezed between him and Vandoorne..... PS (added) - NBCSN will reply the race @ 8PM, check it out again then.....

Vettel stayed on the track for that one.

Bottas arguably. Would need to see the onboard to pass proper judgement, but driving off the track at turn 1 vs Ricciardo on lap 2 certainly helped him maintain his position.

'I hope no fans come to this race next season.'

Super mature Max Verstappen, ladies and gentlemen.

@MasterRacer You must be a very fun guy to watch F1 with. Arrogantly boasting? You really see it that way? Then it's going to be a one way conversation I guess. This is pure racing amd that's what we like to see. We can talk about the penalty, and I understand the idea behind the penalty, but this ...

Horner's got a point about Bottas.

I'm pretty sure Webber and Coulthard would feel differently if they had been on the receiving end of Verstappen.

Looked like a slam dunk penalty to me. I agree all the other off track driving should have been punished too though. Yeah I posted yesterday that turns 9 and 19 at this circuit are an absolute farce with the way drivers are allowed to just run miles off the track on corner exit. There's a differenc...

Haha that was total WWE style. Max turns round and Kimi's just standing there.

You can't allow drivers to overtake by cutting corners.

Hahaha for f*ck sake Max.

Actually looking at the replay he's cut the corner.

Nice move from Vettel.

Feels like Ferrari might have pulled a Barcelona 2016 here.

My God, Raikkonen actually overtook someone.

Intriguing.

Perez is a whiny so and so. Can't stand him.

Overtake of the season from Sainz.

Can't wait to see Raikkonen get swallowed up by Max.

Go Honda

I swear Ben Edwards watches a different race to the one that's actually going on.

Bottas will get penalised here, he retook his position on lap 2 by driving off the track.

GingerFurball

Anyone still think picking Renault over Honda is such a mistake?

GingerFurball

Bottas overtaking off the track there. Hooray for concrete runoffs.

They've American'd the f*ck out of this :lol: I can't decide if I love this or hate this. I couldn't handle this every time, but it's kinda fun as a one off. I love it. It will be repetitive as chocolate fudge cake to watch on TV but it's a bit of fun and theatre for those actually at the circuit.
