Looks like 5th is the best Vettel will get today. 14 seconds behind Bottas in 4th with 13 laps to gom

Yes. My concern is that Lewis will attack within the final laps when Kimi’s tyres are completely shot.

Verstappen weaving like a drunk to keep Bottas behind.

As you do...

Oh Verstappen squeezed Bottas there

Well Jos will be hauled in.

Verstappen punted Bottas off. Moving in the braking zone

Cool_CM

Come on Kimi

Penalty for Verstappen will give Vettel 4th. :pac:

Looks like Hamilton is biding his time. Hoping I'm wrong.

I think he has to get a penalty for that

Verstappen looked at fault there

Hamilton is ridiculously good. Great overtake.

Simon Gruber Says

Oh ffs

kopite386

What penalty do we think Max will get ? 10 seconds or less?

skipper_G

Ah crap, Hamilton has this now

That was a great overtake, risky but great.

Rossi IRL

That should be that unless Hamilton gets reliability issues.

donspeekinglesh

Very light penalty for Verstappen only 5 sec

kopite386

That's it Hamilton has the win now. Kimi won't get by him again his tyres are shot

ScrubsfanChris

Time to switch over then

Ferrari message to Kimi to bring the car home

3 seconds clear after a lap and a half

The luckiest driver vs the unluckiest. Disappointing

Well played Mercedes, at least it was no snore festival

He squeezed Bottas and left less than a car's width while defending for position. It's a slam dunk penalty, 5 seconds is light it could have been worse

kopite386

Well that's over now anyways, Hamilton, Kimi and the Bottas on the podium followed by Max and then Seb. Time to go watch the dubs.

It should have been a drive though at the very least.

Was a good one!

Bottas and Max to come together again and Seb for the podium? Please?

2011

Max is magic!

Disappointing end to the race.

donspeekinglesh

Vettel nearly close enough to jump Verstappen after the penalty is applied.

HighLine

Possibly the most demoralising defeat Ferrari have suffered in a very long time.

flazio

Looks like even if Vettel wasn't punted down to the back Mercedes-Benz would have out strategyed Ferrari.

Jordan 199

Well done Lewis

Doubt it. They just used Bottas as a road block. It would have been Kimi's race otherwise.

2011

Best F1 race in a long time despite the result being such a disappointment.

Yeah hard to know but they likely would have been able to use one Ferrari to block another like Bottas was used. Ho hum.

Hamilton is 7/2 to finish on the podium tomorrow. Max is 1/8 and Bottas 2/1.Surely a clerical mistake there.
Get on that!!!

Cheers I owe you a pint, easy money!!

Ghost Train

De Resta a bit poor with the questions

Hamilton trying to talk about the negativity of the Ferrari crowd towards him in a polite way.

Good race from Hamilton, good to see passing on the track

Azza

Fair play to Mercedes and Hamilton. They came up with a good strategy to counter Kimi and implemented it well. Good hard and fair racing between Lewis and Kimi as well.

Ferrari or more specifically Vettel shot themselves in the foot again and are squandering their current car superiority. Had Vettel still been in play in 3rd position I don't think Mercedes would of employed the tactics they did.

Cool_CM

Sounds like the greatest fans in the world are getting ready for Hamilton and Bottas

Bottas got booed as well so it's not just a Hamilton thing which is good.

Wait for the cheers when Kimi gets his trophy
