Awesome thank you!
It looks like maybe both were at fault. Stroll seems to drift a little out, but Vettel also seems to cut in just a tiny bit as well, but it has more to do with Vettel coming in so close from behind while everyone is barely paying attention to other cars around them.
There is no racing line after the race is finished...every car overtakes and drives next to every other car.
There is. You go off it to pick up shite to weigh the car down. Even so its sixth of one and half a dozen of the other isn't it.
What's the context behind this?

In that case, Seb has no reason to complain.

They don't even have energy left to stand up on the podium, damn.
Mercedes as a team is a bit odd in that it'll have lost both 2 of its home races. Both constructor and signature sponsor.
Gonna miss this place.

Regardless, Stroll was ahead and Vettel looks to have driven across him from behind where he had a perfect view of where that Williams was.

Really happy for Max and lol Vettel. I just can't deal with his shit anymore.

Perspective from behind: Stroll wasn't paying attention. Seriously, there is no way to blame Vettel for this!
I mean, I'm just not sure what you guys are talking about. Just look at any other car after the race has finished. Hamilton drove next to Verstappen and waved at him. Stroll moved without looking. It's that simple. You don't have to stay behind another car after the race has finished, because you expect the other drive to look where he goes. Vettel did 100% exactly what every other driver has done for years after every race.

I still thinks that Raikkonen would have won this race.

Great for Verstappen. He needed this.
Same ... And to go further, if Vettel's car hadn't broken down in quali, I think it would have been a 1-2 for Ferrari. But shit happens.
Let's hope 2018 gives us a good 3-teams fight for the championship ! Maybe 4 with McLaren, who knows ?

Ferrari didn't want to risk this, so they turned his engine off.
I'll take 2nd for Lewis. Good race, Max did a great job and Vettel did an incredible job getting as far as he did, starting from the back.
I can't really judge that Vettel-Stroll incident based one one camera angle. Ferrari repair bill for the past 2 races would be a sight to behold though.

Yeah, veered to the right. Likely not paying attention since he was picking up rubber or waving at fans.
See that's why I wanted another angle. Looks like a pretty straightforward pass by Vettel, Stroll just wasn't paying attention and was drifting to the right. 100% Stroll. Shame too because he had a good result.

I just put on the sky f1 stream thinking I've got an hour before the race starts, thought it started at 1pm uk time, only realised 10 mins in that the race is over lol. Happy Verstappen got the win and another podium for Ricciardo, would love to see Red Bull in contention for a championship just because I'd like to see both their drivers, who I really like, compete for one.
Since it was after the race ended, I think any penalty won't affect his position. Maybe a grid penalty for the next race.
I was thinking more a shame that he's soured his entire weekend with that mistake, like you say his result is probably safe but he'll probably be penalised next race.
Oh. Well they can see more that we can, and have data. I guess that's that.
I only realised it was 8am late last night, thought it was 10 so I could watch it at work again like yesterday. Had to watch half of it at home then listen to the rest on 5 Live while I drove in. Agreed on RBR fighting for a title, I would honestly be happy with either a Max or Danny WDC.

I'll take both RB drivers. They're better and a lot more likable.
