Hamilton hasn't acted any kind of way its RedBull having tantrums in media

[Super_horns]

Perez with a penalty that might see him finish 6th whilst Bottas is in the top 3.

 

That will annoy Horner and Red Bull even more.

Tbh I don't think they care about the constructors

Yeah you'll have to explain this one as well...

Seemed like Bottas had a chance after the restart but he's made a Horlicks of the last few laps.

[Legend_in_blue]

The problem is Verstappen does not know when to give it up.  Take Rosberg.  He was clever at pushing the boundaries with Lewis in his title win, Verstappen is not as clever with his moves, nowhere near.

[Brainy]

In fairness to Bottas he's now stuck behind the cars Hamilton spent most of the weekend behind. An inherited podium is a good result

[kingkisnorbo]

Absolutely made up for DR, raced so well today. 

[Super_horns]

Well done Mclaren.

 

They were ahead even before that crash as well.

[Zear0]

Great to see McLaren back on the podium.

 

Can't see anything happening the Lewis/Max incident, I just hope it doesn't end up like the Silverstone debacle as that was embarrassing. 

[UniFox21]

Hoping the aftermath is about praising McLaren rather than just going on about Hamilton and Verstappen

Max is side by side with him and Lewis has squeezed him, no real issue with that, the issue is the sausage curb that Max is squeezed onto that has caused the accident 

 

Albon will be calling for the kerb to be given a penalty on his simulations.  

[StanSP]

Very happy for McLaren and their 1-2

[isaidno]

That's Max's fault.  Really pleased for McLaren  

[Jimmy]

Toto’s comments very classy

Max should have backed out but he isn’t that type of character- that’s what makes him a winner too. He probably should get a penalty but he won’t. It will be chalked down as a racing incident that was exacerbated by the sausage kerb ……..

[The Bear]

A lot better f difference between the previous Red Bull responses and Mercedes. 

 

You can argue about blame all day long but they way you deal with it publicly says a lot about you. 

 

FWIW I feel that Max should have backed out like Lewis did in turn 1. That room was always going to close going into turn 2, but Max's style is not to back down and blame the other guy after a crash. Lewis is a bit more mature and uses his experience in those situations. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

We need to start doing sweepstakes on what lap for future races 

[isaidno]

Reminds me of Hill vs Schumacher in 1995. They collided at Silverstone and Monza that year. 

[Collymore]

Really enjoyed that. Loads of wheel to wheel racing.

 

I don't think the Max and Lewis crash is any accident by the way. When you're playing with a sport that deals with variables as finely as F1, I think some analyst knows the best move for the long term is to take your rival out or at least let your rival take you out! Sometimes I'd manage that both teams would take it - so best to do it in a way where's it's a racing incident! 

 

I think F1 sometimes plays this 'lap of the gods' card but I'm a bit cynical about that! 

[Collymore]

At one point I thought Bottas was going to win that from the back! That couldn't have happened many times!?

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Crazy thing is that both Max and Lewis had slow pit stops that brought them out together. Either of the pit crews do their jobs properly and they are probably nowhere near each other.

Lewis has always been a lot more subtle than this season though, I mean the brake check on vettel comes to mind and that was a masterclass of the dark arts

[Countryfox]

What a sporty weekend ! ..

Kimi won from P18 at Suzuka in 2005. The record is John Watson from P22.
