I thought that this race would never end. If ended up been a long and boring race.
The start was the climax.
Hamilton did a great a race. Ricciardo had no chance.
Great race by Palmer,finally he had some luck.Good to see Vandoorne scoring some points.
Let's see how the drama goes for now on,because I think that Ferrari will put some pressure on FIA in order to blame Verstappen

Massive meh, and huge disappointment for the rest of the season. *** removed incorrect assumption ***
Edit - Also, Ferrari trying to blame Verstappen is a massive own goal. Accept it as a racing incident and move on.

Vandoorne has been looking pretty good
Honestly, think he's got reasons to be optimistic with a Renault in the back of that McLaren next season.
No no no, I shan't hear Ferrari's good name besmirched like this.
Eh? 6 races left - 7 points between 1st and 2nd. So 42 points to gain with a Vettel/Hamilton 1/2 and he's only 28 in front.

Well deserved from Hamilton. What a drive. He got lucky with lap 1 but considering that was Vettel's fault, I don't feel too bad that it's affected the championship the way it has.
Hamilton with some serious luck but was worthy of the win by delivering a great start and superb stints in all conditions. Ricciardo had a good opportunity after the second safety car with fresh inters over Hamilton's used, but it seemed like he wasn't confident in the car.
The championship is far from over though. I remember the 2007 season being a "done deal" as well.

Damn, just saw the start.
Surprised it doesn't happen more. Two great starts from Max and Kimi and Vettel naturally goes for the pinch on Max without seeing his teammate.

C4 saying that Bottas was telling HAM and RIC in the green room that his drink dispenser had stopped working. Fucking hell.
It already failed during the first SC... Poor sod.

My bad, I thought there were fewer races than that.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Ferrari could not have given a better gift to Mercedes for this race.
Regarding the start: I would say thats Vettels fault. Not Verstappens and not Kimis. I could understand Vettel trying to cover up a move from VER but he simply didnt and possibly couldnt anticipate Kimis lightning start. Kimi did have space on his left though, he probably thought that Max back out earlier for him to slowly veer right to take optimum entry to the left corner. Where Max was concerned, he was pretty much a passenger caught up in a red coloured pincer. Credit to Max though, he could see it coming and tried to back out. Vettel was clearly going in at covering Max (which he does have all rights to do), but was very aggressive on that. He also wasnt aware of Hamiltons good start and he would have been better off covering off Lewis.
Also, poor Alonso. Would have been good to see him in the mix, radio complaints aside.

Yeah, at least we can look forward to the Honda PU being freed from the McLaren shitbox next year though.

Exactly. Folks are way too quick to dismiss everything. No need to be so dramatic.
