    Like how they just forgot Ocon was there. RB thought was a brilliant deal to drop into second ahead of Hamilton until race director realised Ocon was still up there <laugh>

    They just said was a rolling start on Sky rather than formation lap

    That's the restart that's looming (I'm assuming). The restart that already happened was a standing start. Lewis was wary too far behind on the formation lap leading up to it.

    Fair enough. Hadn’t seen it just went by what someone mentioned but either they were wrong or I misheard.

    RB & Max taking another gamble; medium tyres on. Don't get why they are gambling so much. If he stays behind Lewis, worse case scenario is they go into the final round level. If the game doesn't pay off, they're likely to end up behind

    With it being another standing start, why hasn't Max returned the favour and dropped back?

    There you go, just mentioned it.

    safety car restart you don’t need to be within 10 car lengths.

    Yeah, heard it. Still got the Bottas holding them up under safety car issue but suspect that'll be ignored because the red flag happened

    Would for the constructors but that's not as competitive.

    Turned out to be an entertaining race but not necessarily for the right reasons

    It was the worst interference in a race I have ever seen. All politics and that track is a death trap.

    Hamilton won the title today. He did it by backing out of the pass and getting straight on radio to ensure it was sorted off track. He knew verstappen would hit him and was too clever.

    Verstappen self destructed

    Completely agree about the track, very dangerous imo

    Lewis got very lucky about three times today where he could have easily been out if the race after near misses.

    I think it is Lewis' to lose now, he's won three on the bounce and as the better car.

    I don't think Max as self destructed but he doesn't seem to have boundaries.

    Just my opinion but if Vettel and Raikkonen went I to a wall there
    One was inches away, then it would have been another red flag and another tyre change for both title protagonists.

    If alonso had been hit he could have been killed as he was going sideways there with a car inched from his nose.

    Marzipan could've ben killed there as well.

    All in all it's extremely dangerous and yet verstappen lash on after potentially getting a puncture and hamilton ignored a broken end plate relying on the mid supports to keep him out of a wallet while.pumping in fastest laps.

    Crazy stuff.

    I don't really like Verstappen or Hamilton.

    Verstappen reminds of Schumacher/Senna, doesn't care who he potentially hurts or kills as long as he wins.

    Hamilton is just arrogant and has poor taste.

    That said, of the two evils, I'm hoping Hamilton continues to win, just to keep erasing all Schumacher's records. As much as I dislike V+H, no one is as bad as M.S. in my book and am glad to see the records being wiped one by one. # WDC the biggest left. One race away from potentially being knocked down a peg. Then Ham can retire as far as I care.

    I did like the older Vestappen! Jos seemed a good sort.
