What a race!!

Bit bleak about all the penalties and nonsense. Perez forgot its not a sprint but a half marathon. Should have just jumped Lando in the pits, Norris could have kept Bottas behind him. 

Daniel getting to grips on Sunday with the car, maybe they should check if his tyre warmers are plugged in during quali?

Kimi and Vetel taking each other off and laughing about it.

Alonso taking Russels first point for Williams. 

Great race.

Its getting awkward with that in car video of Hamilton crying in his car after every session he loses. Happened in quali and race. Or he just has allergies...

Great race no doubt, just also disappointed about the Norris penalty. Even Horner said that it sets the wrong precedent and should not have been a penalty given by Masi. Was just good wheel to wheel racing, with Perez coming off second best. Norris should have had P2 on merit. Hamilton broke his car and Norris would have beaten Bottas, so that P2 was taken away from him. So lekker to see him RACING the front cars though!!!

Also, Russell did well to keep Alonso behind for as long as he did. His defense and positioning of the car was great, but eish, he was so close to that elusive point!

Be prepared, F1 has.is becoming boring. One horse race, even tho its someone else. I actually switched off. The midfield as always, are racing each other. I cant wait for next season with the new ground effects kits, promoting wheel to wheel racing. I hope it is very different. I also doubt I will switch on again for the rest of the season, at the beginning it was interesting. But yeast during the race with Max getting timing updates and his responses, "so what, " i dont care" etc. He has this in the bag. The toss up is for second and third. Enjoy the season peeps.

Yesterday's "wheel to wheel" with Checo and Charles wasn't close enough?

Max, Lando and George... all possible future champs.

Max pitted as there was a cut on his rear tyre. If that had gone he would have limped to the pits and not been on the podium. 

Between the tyres, the different cars, tracks and drivers this season is thrilling. I don't think I have ever consumed this much F1 content as its such a close battle. 

Chainbear has pointed out that this is the closest the top 2 and 5 have been in past 25 years in the first 9 rounds of the championship. 

Funny, Vetel was ahead by 40 points in 2017 I think and then Ferrari did a Ferrari thing.

So yeah, an amazing season with teams trying to keep an eye on next year while trying to stay ahead this year. 

One cannot just look at the gap at the end of the race or during it.

Lando may get a race ban. Shame, the guy can't catch a break.
