Doesn't matter. He slammed on the brakes. Dick move by Lewis.

Slammed the brakes? Looks like he just didn't floor it when Vettel expected. I'm not sure we can say too much without a proper replay though.

 

[Aiii]

Lewis is the golden child. They won't penalise him.

Black flag due to dangerous driving. I hope.

 

[darkinstinct]

Alonso at least has intelligence. Red flag is the obvious choice.

Great job, only five minutes too late.

 

[Lima]

Alonso knows what's up.

 

[Xando]

Agree with Nando.

Should red flag instead of SC every 5 laps

 

[bobnowhere]

Haha, it's not even half way through. Feels like it been going for hours.

 

[Tempy]

Red Flag.

Not sure they have enough marshals on this long track, or the right equipment.

 

[JDB]

With the luck he has this season. Probably.

Two cars in front of him will have failures and he'll cruise to the podium in true fashion.

 

[TCRS]

red flag

 

[Mohonky]

There wont be a car travelling throufh Baku for the next week that doesnt get a puncture from all the carbon everywhere.

 

[Scotch]

What a farce

 

[Grug]

Red flag, excellent. Free new wing for Vettel.

 

[killer_clank]

This fucking race! Are the stewards incompetent?

 

[nny]

Everyone feels so bad for Alonso that they immediately follow his suggestion to red flag the race.

 

[DSN2K]

alonso telling it how it is.

 

[Wes]

RED

 

[Xando]

Finally

Vettel saved

 

[Orbis]

Haha, it's not even half way through. Feels like it been going for hours.

"Hours you say?" said Charlie Whiting, and red flagged the race in response.

 

[Antagon]

Penalty to Hamilton for slamming the brakes, penalty to Vettel for tagging him, Massa, Stroll and Ricciardo on the podium.

 

[Ennosuke]

Red flag is the right choice. But this track sucks hard time...

 

[Randdalf]

Does this mean we get a standing start?

 

[McNum]

RED FLAG!

I... kind of agree, actually. Clean this mess.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

Hopefully the Indycar race after this is less of a mess.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

And Alonso said ; Red flag or quit McLaren now!"

And them we have a red flag now.

What a mess.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Will this be a standing restart?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Replay of the VET HAM incident please. I want to see what VET did after the hit. If he tagged HAM, he needs to get thrown out of the race.

 

[Lach]

What a clusterfuck of a race....I love it!

 

[Blastoise]

Yo!

 

[Tempy]

They will restart on the grid right?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Well done Baku.

 

[Nevasleep]

The track is beautiful, need to improve the recovery/marshal speed.

 

[darkinstinct]

Red flag, excellent. Free new wing for Vettel.

Also free new super softs for Ham.

 

[M52B28]

I knew this race would be a mess.

 

[PdotMichael]

Slammed the brakes on? How did you manage to tell that?

Hamilton is controlling the pace, he didnt accelerate out of the corner (which he didnt have too) as Vettel accelerated through it.

Vettel was just too close behind and coming u0 to quick

Read the rules.

 

[Hasney]

Everyone feels so bad for Alonso that they immediately follow his suggestion to red flag the race.

They've also agreed to start with a reverse grid for Nando.

 

[dakun]

Cool. So we'll get a standing restart right?

 

[Risk Breaker]

Penalty to Hamilton for slamming the brakes, penalty to Vettel for tagging him, Massa, Stroll and Ricciardo on the podium.

It only makes sense.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Nando has a point. Charlie agrees with him.

 

[Theorry]

Can Stroll be the youngest podium scorer? How old is he?

 

[Mohonky]

Black flag due to dangerous driving. I hope.

Hahaha.

Get ya hand off it.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Whose fault was it Lewis collision with Vettel?

 

[Par Score]

Red flag, excellent. Free new wing for Vettel.

Can't do any work on the car under a Red Flag.

Whose fault was it Lewis collision with Vettel?

Can only be the fault of the car behind, 100% Vettel.

 

[Aiii]

Red flag is the right choice. But this track sucks hard time...

I really do not understand this. How is the track at fault that Ocon cannot help but burrow his car into Perez, for example?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Can Stroll be the youngest podium scorer? How old is he?

Verstappen already beat him to it.

 

[mclem]

Everyone feels so bad for Alonso that they immediately follow his suggestion to red flag the race.

It's a cunning ploy, he's going to sneakily use this opportunity to replace the engine.

 

[Lima]

Can Stroll be the youngest podium scorer? How old is he?

Stroll will cause the 4th safety car.

 

[Randdalf]

Could they fix Kimi's car and get him back in the race?

 

[Theorry]

Verstappen already beat him to it.

Thought Stroll is younger then Max?

 

[nekkid]

I like how at the first opportunity Vettel obliged in kissing Hamilton's ass.

 

[NewDust]

Isn't the rule you can't drive erratically before a SC restart? Nothing HAM did looked erratic, he just didn't accelerate... Schumacher did slam the brakes, after which the rules were revised. If anything, Vettel was at fault.
