This is not how F1 works... From P1 you always wamt to defend that Position.

What are you talking about? There was no chance at all for Hamilton to pass Vettel in that situation. Hell, he didn't even pass him WITH the crash included.
He was clearly in the lead.
Lol... "you're on your own Fernando, have fun".
Robbed of an exciting WDC now. It's just a matter of Hamilton by how much now.

Nah, after a lap it would have settled down like this regardless.
No he was losing the lead, and he knew it and panicked.

That's what all drivers do when they start in front and somebody is besides them.

Just send Vettel and Kimi packing and sign Ricciardo and somebody else have competent. Fucking shitbags, my god. Such a great position to take a good step towards the championship and they do this.
Hamilton is a monster in the wet. Ric will have to see if the race comes back to him on slicks.
Hmm, dunno. I reckon Verstappen would have thrown everything at Vettel.
When someone is behind them yeah. Not beside one already. Vet was way to late with the block.
What does Vettel want? Win the championship or win the race? He goes to the side to block Verstappen but that leaves the lane open for Hamilton who would have been close without the accident as well.

What do you think Hamilton will do in this race? Try to win no matter what or let someone pass him when necessary and come in second?

Noooooooooooo one is going to want to be the first to go to slicks (in however long). They've got, what, 4 sets of inters per car? I think we're going to need them.

You don't cover against a car which you can't even see. This is not your first race.
Do not be this person.
Hamilton started from P5. How on earth would anyone know what's going on behind you in the spray after 200 metres?

The obligatory no power from Alonso, there.

It's insulting how you act like this was your first race. Leading car defends its position against the second in a completely normal move seen in every race start this season.
Come on. If this was any other driver than Max you would agree with him.

Woke up to Alonso having to retire the car.
C'mon man

Not when the car is fully next to you.
The only one being insulting is you, we are done.
Bottas got his new contract, he knows his place now.

Wow, TSN is showing commercials without picture in picture, so I see nothing of the race.
It is the one car he needs to care about. Verstappen doesn't pose a threat to his actual goal: the championship. Especially because he is supposed to have the faster car than Verstappen. It was terrible, terrible move, and at least he is paying for it.

First and foremost? Win the fucking race! Vettel doesn't play 7 dimensional chess. He tries to stay P1 at the start, that's all, He can't within a couple of seconds think about where Hamilton might or might not be. He has ZERO clue where Ham is at that point and how his move might or might not affect Hamilton. Winning means 25 points vs. 18 on P2. So even if Lewis won two places due to Vets move, it's still a win for Vettel to do that.
nekkid
It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
FTFY
He's excused today. Took a solid hit in the first turn, the bottom of the car was damaged/dragging on the track. Any F1 car with that kind of damage would be retired after seeing how badly it affects it.
Receipts please. I think it is pretty clear Vettel made a mistake wanting to keep the lead at all cost.
