Damn, looks like I'm missing quite an eventful drama filled race, getting updates through twitter on my phone while getting blasted at a party, no idea why anyone would schedule one to start at 12pm on a Sunday

 

[JCH!]

Are they manually sweeping the track or something? How much debris is there?

 

[Aiii]

All of you asking for black flags, just remember that if Seb and Lewis finish on the podium we will get a very awkward moment when they prepare for the podium in that small room. We may even get some punches thrown around. ;P

Only if Lewis loses.

 

[Theorry]

If we only got Max after those guys. That would have been great.

 

[Blastoise]

Alonso is a beautiful man.

 

[TCRS]

Coulthard tries to justify what Vettel did. He didn't do it intentionally, just happened.

 

[Grug]

Geez SkySport need to get off Hamilton's penis.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Stewards will pore over the telemetry to determine who was at fault.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

i say penalty for both, stupid hamilton for braking like that and stupid vettel for doing what he did after.

We are definitely missing your gifs

 

[Hasney]

No-one can really say if Hamilton is at fault or not without the telemetry. I think people with eyes can see Vettel is at fault afterwards. Intentional ram or not, there was no need to get alongside him to complain anyway.

 

[ape2man]

vettel is fucked

 

[dakun]

Massa winning this race would be the greatest thing ever

The arse wipe follow up banging wheels wasn't needed.

 

[mclem]

What did Maldonado get when he intentionally hit someone?

I think he had to change his avatars to one of Zeknurn.

 

[John_B]

From the footage alone it doesn't look like Hamilton was slamming the breaks. Vettel was very close as if he was expecting the restart right at that moment.

I don't see how Hamilton is penalized and Vettel isn't considering how Vettel went and bumped Hamilton afterwards. Either way it will likely be a discussion for the ages.

 

[Deadman]

Looked it up, Maldonado got a 5 place penalty for intentionally hitting hamilton after qualifying in spa

 

[JDB]

Are they manually sweeping the track or something? How much debris is there?

Probably still some TRs laying around here and there.

 

[Tempy]

I'm guessing no penalty for HAM, but a DSQ for VET.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I'm not convinced it was an intentional collision either. It looks like he was so busy gesturing at Hamilton that he didn't realise his car wasn't running parallel. That's not to say that there shouldn't be a penalty though.

Come on son

 

[Theorry]

RIC you are awesone haha.

 

[Lima]

Lol that hack job golf car to clean the track.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Penalise both.

Felipe baby wins.

 

[s_mirage]

Without data I'm less clear on whether Hamilton should be punished, but I wouldn't oppose Vettel being black flagged for that. At the very least he needs a stiff penalty, you can't just allow deliberately hitting someone.

 

[bobnowhere]

Tiniest sweeper ever.

 

[Xando]

He literally braked after the corner. That doesn't happen because of some issue

 

[brotkasten]

Meanwhile Brundle is all like "Hamilton did nothing wrong!"

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Vettel is mad. And if a would blame someone I would blame Vettel.

 

[nature boy]

Not a black flag IMO, 10 second stop and go is more than adequate

#blessed also needs a less severe penalty

 

[cilonen]

Geez SkySport need to get off Hamilton's penis.

I generally like Brundle, but yeah.

 

[Leonsito]

I don't know about the Vettel move, it looked like he was just waving his arms and lost the wheel, eitherway, that was stupid.

 

[Hasney]

Meanwhile Brundle is all like "Hamilton did nothing wrong!"

Coulthard is the same way. He controls the pace.

 

[Animal]

SEBASTIAN VETTEL passes car ahead behind safety car and takes hands off wheel and lets his car roll into competitors car at super low speed. A 4-time formula 1 world champion did this by accident? If you think so you're high on some good stuff!

 

[JCH!]

Holy shit. That Golf Cart sweeping thing. Keep winning, Baku.

 

[Zeknurn]

I think he had to change his avatars to one of Zeknurn.

:/

 

[RaySpencer]

Why do people think Hamilton should get a penalty?

 

[Aiii]

Stroll’s eyebrows irrationally annoy me.

 

[Jucksalbe]

So what's the maximum penalty both Hamilton and Vettel could get for this? Not sure about the first incident (looks more like Hamilton's fault, but dunno), but surely Vettel purposefully ramming Hamilton is gonna lead to a heavy penalty?

 

[Blastoise]

10 min? Poop break.

 

[nekkid]

Why do people think Hamilton should get a penalty?

They're watching a really sketchy illegal feed with a really really bad frame rate and artefacts.

It's the only thing I can assume.

 

[McNum]

Holy shit. That Golf Cart sweeping thing. Keep winning, Baku.

Eh, I find it kind of cute, to be honest.

"SPORTING"

 

[Zaru]

Well this race certainly didn't turn out like expected.

Stroll podium would be the craziest thing.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Looked it up, Maldonado got a 5 place penalty for intentionally hitting hamilton after qualifying in spa

Didn't he hit someone (Perez?) in Monaco as well?

 

[Dutch Gronk]

What was the plan of Vettel there. Thats a big bump.

Fuck Lewis' shit up.

It's a bad look for Vettel and he will probably get banned and thus fuck up his shot at the title this year, but that was a proper Ferrari cunt-move 👌🏻.

 

[nny]

Massa can't wait for the race to restart, doesn't even leave the car <3

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I'd rather Stroll wining this than Massa. If Massa win this the commentators will go berserk and it will be disgusting to here them.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Man that sweeping crew.

 

[dakun]

Meanwhile Brundle is all like "Hamilton did nothing wrong!"

Imo he didn't. Hamilton is the leader. Schumacher used to do much worse during safety car restarts without penalties. (Monza 2000)

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Vettel is such a plonker.

I mean it's not exactly much better if he did so by accident.
