    Anyone think the Marshalls should he clearing the debris quicker?

    The drivers should be able to cope and adapt with the harder tyres, or can they not cope with close racing anymore without colliding?

    the main problem, as it has been for years, is carbon fibre

    While Lewis may have slowed too much Vettel deliberately rammed him from the side!

    DSQ for Vettel. You cannot ram someone like that, regardless of what Hamilton did which also needs looking at.

    He was leaving space for the straight. Didn't brake check he just accelerated slowly.

    Well can't say Baku is boring this year! Maybe not for racing reasons but still I'm enjoying it!

    Hamilton should get a penalty for breaktesting Vettel then but I doubt he will. He's the FIA favourite.

    Hamilton should get a drive through. Vettel should get a much harsher penalty. You can't just turn into someone deliberately like that.

    he didn't accelerate at all, got halfway through the corner and slowed to a crawl, which is exactly what he's been warned about before.


    The cause and reaction are very similar to Hamilton Maldonado in Spa.

    Either way, the race has turned into a farce.

    Not going to leave the sofa though, this could still have some spice left in it!

    Both should be penalised. Massa to win.
