    5 second time penalty. Meh, harsh, but might make things interesting if this stays wet.

    I think that is fair. He would have lost much more, even with the slow pit stop, had he gone round for another lap without his front wing. It was such a clear breach of the rules they couldn't really not give hima penalty.

    CLC didn’t want slicks at that point, correctly, but Ferrari.

    But they also have rules about driving round spewing car parts over the track...

    He's getting hammered for driving too slowly now <laugh>

    Much as I now like Lewis I do feel he has had luck previously with penalties so to be given a couple for definite rule breaks is fair enough.

    Merc need Bottas to let Lewis past and back off giving him 5 maybe 10 seconds so he retains second. Bottas can't say no as he wants a contract extension, well unless he already knows he's out!!!

    Top 3 to pull away, then one of the dossers at the back to put it in the wall with a lap to go, bringing out a safety car, Hulkenburg gets a podium because of Hamilton's penalty...

    William's slowly creeping up on scoring some points. Just saying.

    That was probably Hulkenburg's best change of a podium and he's thrown it away

    God love a wet race though, you can’t say it’s boring. Did they just say Verstappen has pitted six times?
