Feel like there should have been some penalties handed out, Perez leaving the track gaining advantage on the next turn, and Leclerc forcing Hamilton off track. Hamilton should have won the race imo

Rest assured someone who only got his first points today isn't having any influence on the points leader and reigning champion.

Which is a shame - there were enough times that Mick could've completely stuffed his car down the inside, but kept the respect. Max returned the favour by pushing him completely of the track...

And people call it good racing on top of it. Really irks me the wrong way, tbh.

No, it certainly isn't. Pushing hard and leaving them room on the outside is understandable and fair, but forcing them off the track when they are fully alongside you, and according to the rules should be given racing room, just isn't.

That aside, flipping great race, loved it!

Their entire strategy team should be out of a job tomorrow. They are clearly incompetent and have been for some time. There's a reason Ferrari hasn't won a championship in God knows how long. Was Kimi the last to win one for them?

They've cost themselves three or four since his.

Returning the favour???

It's a race. A competition, you know. There are no favours. Schumacher was completely free to race like Verstappen did (or like his dad would have), and if it cost him a position that's a poor decision from him.

This is what close racing looks like. No one was harmed or even severly disadvantaged. It happens in every other series. Thank God we're out of that dark age where overtaking was about as rare as someone other than Hamilton/Vettel/Rosberg winning a race and going wheel to wheel was basically unheard of.

Yes, last driver anyway. 2008 was their last constructors title.

But when Max was championship leader and didn't have to put his car in that dangerous position on the outside of Copse last year, it's not a poor decision and Hamilton's a murderer?

Got it.
 
There's some great pictures coming out of a nearly avoided tragedy.

So when Hamilton was the championship leader and didn't have to overdrive his car getting past backmarkers at Imola, it's not a poor decision and something something Verstappen bad? Got it.

How many more irrelevant things do you want to bring up? Literally every driver makes poor decisions. Obviously. That's not the point.
 
Ferrari strategy crew were stupid to not pit both cars, since they were so far ahead of everybody else and would not be in any kind of trouble... And if Hamilton stayed out, he would have been very vulnerable on used hards... But oh well, I'm so happy for Sainz! He deserves it, very hard worker

I'm going to need to revisit it for some more angles later, but Charles sending it round the outside of Lewis at Copse? I don't think I've been that gobsmacked in a long, long time... and the battling after the SC wasn't half bad either!

Everyone involved seems to have come out of the 1st lap mayhem relatively unscathed, and Carlos/Mick have got their respective monkeys off their backs! Great entertainment. 😁

The victims of the Red Bull drivers' loose ideas of fair racing were not harmed or seriously disadvantaged purely because they continued to give room. If Mick had provided Max the same amount of room, they would both have been taken off.

I'm not going to deny that the racing was close and great, but you have to keep racing fair. Bear in mind that, for the second time, rules had to be clarified/created due to Max's dangerous driving.

Perez used not to be bad, but Max is rubbing off on him.
