    That was a terrible decision by the stewards, not heard the last of this

    Shambles. Red bull crying to the authorities as normal.

    Hamilton should of been penalised on the first lap. He wasn't and I thought that the stewards were a tad biased to him. But that final lap controversy leaves a bitter taste for me

    which one Mercedes getting away with it at turn one, or the stewards normal decision on the safety car, Mercedes pit crew lost it by not letting Lewis pit, if they had he would be home and dry

    I'm not a Hamilton fan either but the stewards have had a massive say in that result, Hamilton was by far the best driver in that race. Why should those lapped cars allowed to pass Hamilton when he had got passed them before the safety car came out

    Don't follow F1 but watched this and can only feel sorry for Hamilton, who I dislike as a personality, but he's been shafted here, good and proper.

    Makes no sense to me mate other than the stewards wanted to see a final lap race but Hamilton prior to the crash was so far ahead.

    but then his pit crew decided not to pit for tyres, which gave him that advantage, not thinking there would be a crash but ultimately that pit decision cost them the race

    Seriously strange decision at the end to let the back markers past but maybe Mercedes should've come in for tyres at the safety car to say least give him a chance to fight for the lead if they did lose position

    Never had the chance mate as Hamilton was passing the pits as safety car came out, verstappen didn't deserve to win that race. Drive v drive Hamilton was way ahead

    but they didn't follow the rules on the overtake on lap 1, which would also put red bull up in arms, cant keep all the people happy all the time mate

    Hamilton didn't have the chance mate as he was passing the pits when the safety car came out. Bad luck maybe

    im neutral on this mate, and its been normal practice restarts after the safety car unless wet, even the commentators said it i can see both sides if i was Lewis i would be fuming lets hope he can rise above it and come back fighting next year, hope he doesn't spit his dummy out and do anything foolish he does have a hot temper
