    Not surprised. He had it in the bag and messed it up. Gutting for him but these things happen.

    Lewis’s hair though...

    Great drive from him. Weird to see Leclerc struggling badly like that, but a learning curve for him. Sauber ballsed up bringing him in for Inters.

    Sad mate - it's not a penalty - keep grasping.

    Mercedes International Assistance (no penalty again)?
    Team orders (only negative when Ferrari enforce them)?

    Any thoughts?

    It's a team sport and a team 1-2 with an inferior car is all that matters - to risk that in tricky conditions by letting them race is absurd.

    No rules broken at this race... so that point is irrelevant.

    My thoughts are Raikkonen was asked to give up his place and do a swap to let Vettel through.

    Bottas was asked not to attack Hamilton to ensure a 1-2.

    Both team orders but the intent is quite different.

    Annoyed that both drivers are muddling along this championship having barely actually raced each other.

    Bit of a shambles for the spectators.

    Kimi deserved a lot more. Ferrari screwing him over and over.

    Not sad, just tabling the facts - as someone who races. These were the race director instruction - standard safety rules.

    Nothing between the Mercedes and Ferrari. Ferrari do screw over Kimi to often though.

    Ferrari have pulled ahead car wise is the common opinion at the moment.

    Also relating to the rules... None were broken as confirmed by ex f1 racers Rosberg and Di resta .. I'd have thought they'd know more than an amateur racer tbh.
