I think, Verstappen should start to manage his engine. Bottas is no match and all other competitors are in no position to put any threat on him.

zaar

The last element of suspense is if Verstappens Renault engine will make it to the end.

Vettel has to give that place back to Massa. I think if you give someone no option to leave the track you can hardly complain if they overtake you off track. No, you hit the brakes and try again. JHC do people think that Vettel is just entitled to everything? Vettel was clearly in front when they e...

What a Shame... A WDC race Now ruined by a guy(Verstappen) who thinks he is still playing videogames. This was the same stuff Verstappen did to Vettel in Canada. Vettel had lost downforce after the contact today so he could not brake properly to avoid Hamilton. What a shame. Good job. That is a som...

Why is it becoming more and more acceptable for drivers to completely shove others off the racing track? It's getting worse each year. Vettel should definitely not hand that back IMO. Massa hasn't shoved him off at all, where else is he meant to go? He did. From his onboard it even looked deliberate.

What? Massa drove him off the track. He even steered in Vettels direction (perhaps he tried not to oversteer?).

I think the penalty was harsh but fair, but a penalty point for that? I don't get this.

I can't answer that, because I'm pretty sure that I didn't witness all overtakes of the race. Kudos to you, that you managed to do that.

Looked like a slam dunk penalty to me. I agree all the other off track driving should have been punished too though. Stupid call by the stewards... Max had so much speed on Kimi that he had two choices.... hit him or go off track to not hit him. Brake? I'm not sure, braking was an option. Verstappe...

And max is given a 5 sec penalty...... I'm so sorry for Max here, as that is a really sucky way to find out he got a penalty for doing what Vettle and others did in gaining their finshes....... :( I saw plenty of folks abusing the track limits today and while I'm a Kimi fan - it sucks to win 3rd by...

To be honest, he left the track with all four to overtake (there is no clearer gaining an advantage). But there were so many track limit offences this weekend, that I'm quite surprised and somewhat gutted for Verstappen after a great race.

zaar

Wow ... 5 sec to Verstappen because of track limits

Schumacher forever#1 wrote:Vettel helping Raikkonen out here I think

I beg to differ. He just slowed down and impeded Kimi (not deliberately). But I'm not sure, Kimi would have kept third place without Vettel in front.

zaar

Ferrari should tell Vettel to speed up again to keep Kimi out of diry air.

Pretty sure, he wouldn't have had (english tenses confuse me ... hope this one was right) a chance against Vettel on fresher tyres

Vettels move looked like a video game there :O

zaar

Vettels and Verstappens two stops won't pay off.

zaar

Kimi still has it from time to time

zaar

Nice move by Sainz

Vettel is clearly slower than the rest of the top four.

zaar

Simple question, simple answer: 26.

Does Alonso dislike Vettel, or like Hamilton more? Two races in a row he's pushed the limits when it comes to hindering Vettel, and helping Hamilton. Between Alonso and Verstappen, it's not a bad pair of rear gunners for Hamilton to have. You do realise that Alonso had to see the stewards about imp...

What? He slowed Verstappen down and increased the gap between them.

https://streamable.com/yxg48 Stroll washes out to the right, but quite why Vettel needs to be going round him there, and that close to him is up for debate. Edit: The real stuff will hit the fan when it comes to the steering wheel and the lift back to the pits. I dont think the Webber/Alonso preced...

Man, you're quite obsessed with a potential penalty for Vettel not for the first time.

zaar

Vettel did not replace his steering wheel. Another FIA investigation. He actually went back to collect it, and took it with him Which is even worse, it's meant to stay with the car. It'll be a fine of some sort I imagine. A clear violation of FIA regulations. Oh dear. Tar an feather him, I'd say!

Bottas slow. Vettel fast.

Pretty accurate summary.

zaar

Regarding the pace difference between Vettel and Bottas and the fact, Vettel couldn't overtake him on the track nevertheless, I'd say, Hamilton is safe.

zaar

A bit early for super softs for Vettel, isn't it?
Successful road block by Bottas.

Vettel is faster than Bottas on the slower tire. Bottas pace here must be troubling for Mercedes

Mercs afraid of Vettel?

Vettel can't get past a "towed" Alonso, it seems.

Maurizio won't be a happy fellow ...
And Marchionne will be fuming

Reading some of the comments here leaves me somewhat puzzled ... Why is it, that the same people who think, that a faultless Verstappen may have not been aware of the fast approaching Raikonnen assume, that a dumb Vettel lacked spacial awareness, because he wasn't able sense Raikonnen from his posit...

Just playing devils advocate (since I think, it was a racing incident). But on the picture Verstappen is clearly "behind" both the Ferraris. He could have backed out easily which would have avoided the incident, but was as reluctant as the other two to give up his position although it was already lo...
