That was a clean start, with the Ferrari's line astern, however there was that coming together with Verstappen an Ricciardo and then my lap top crashed. Apparently Verstappen has a 10 second pit penalty.

Verstappen pits and serves his 10 second penalty. Apart from that first lap incident, he drove really well looking after his tyres.

Congrats to Vettel and congrats to Ferrari on getting a 1-2. I understand Kimi's frustration but Vettel is the championship contender.

And all credit to Lewis for giving the place back - it must have hurt......

Why do you think Williams should be given such an advantage anyway? They 80% knew Massa would pull out but they still allowed him all FP3 instead of putting Di Resta in then. Di Resta qualified by having a licence and taking part in one practice session. If Williams had any common sense they would have run Di Resta in FP3 and then Massa in qualifying. If, as expected, Massa felt too poorly then Di Resta would have started just one place lower but with four times the experience in the car! |

Bottas was alongside Raikkonen, and hit the curb on the inside of the turn, which slammed him into Raikkonen. Verstappen tried a divebomb, braked to late, and locked his brakes in the process. very unsimilar incidents. The Barcelona was just a three-wide racing incident. |

Hulkenberg interrupted Magnussen in the live post race interviews and reprimanded Kevin for the incident.
Kevins answer (still on live tv) was: "suck my balls, man" It can't be long before it is on youtube... NOT the Best choice of words, but I can understand the reason. |

I don't know that he will regret it. I think in his mind. He was only ever going to finish 1,2, or 4th. He was not entitled to 3rd since it was clear that Bottas let Lewis past and that Lewis would never have passed Bottas on merit. Too difficult to pass.

Those few point could make the difference to winning or losing the WDC.

I am (kind of) ok with the 5 second penalty for Magnussen. I just don't see how hulkenberg can hit Grosjean in turn one, with Lotus of space on the inside, and then get so angry with what Kevin did.. After all he didn't hit him, and left the choice to hulkenberg to either back off or go on the grass. |

Brilliance with petulance growing into brilliance, experience, magnanimity and gentlemanly conduct. Quite pleasant to see, IMO. |

I'm not sure I'd have penalised him, but you're paranoid if you think the steward are playing favourites. |

i tend to agree. And if anything Verstappen has been the favourite.

'It's also beyond belief that in this crazy age of F1 safety - that the FiA and FOM would allow a driver that has not driven the car, or an F1 car for over 3 years at that, onto the track along with all the other drivers also at full race speeds!' Your use of double commas has created an offset appositive, which can be extracted from the sentence making it read: '[...]a driver that has not driven the car onto the track [...]' The offset appositive means it can be treated as a separate piece of information so your sentence reads that he has both 'not driven the [2017] car, and has not driven any other F1 car for over 3 years. I was merely pointing out that he had driven another F1 car. If you're going to get upset when someone queries what you have written, at least check what you have written is accurate before defending it. |

Well strange race but the high light will certainly be the sight of Alonso in the deck chair at the end,

Quite true,but having experienced a toxic relationship with a team mate he probably doesn't want to repeat the experience.As I heard the radio the deal was for Bottas to give him five laps to make the pass or he would drop back.It took a bit longer than five laps but he did give the place back and kudos for the integrity.
