    Given Vettel can't get 2nd... I hope he gets a penalty that puts him back near Hamilton somewhere so we can see those two fight it out :D

    No reason for Vettel to hit Hamilton there.

    Max was to aggressive there he helped cause that. Can't see anyone getting a penalty though.

    Dunno... he'd already jiggered his wing with Verstappen. Oooooooooo controversy! :D

    Shame there's no penalty, no sending Vettel back into Hamilton :(

    Oh well, lets see if Vettel can get near the podium.

    Can someone explain how vettel didn't get penalised? It's obvious it's his fault again...

    Because then the WDC would be over and guaranteed fewer eyes at the next race. Also, Ferrari have always got unfair advantage and stewards turn the other way because they're Ferrari and bring more money into the sport.

    Hamilton unlikely to get points with a damaged car.

    So, can Vettel get the finish he needs?

    Are we looking at 2007 all over again!?

    Vettel so far has been a bit lucky to escape penalties on two separate occasions. For the good of the race/championship stewarding?

    Could do with a safety car to spice it all up towards the end.

    In car shot of Vettel turning into Hamilton is pretty damning. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that was not an accident but a desperate move. Gamble paid off... Could have been worse for Vettel.

    Vettel creeping towards the top 5 here. Going to have shagged Ultras come the end though if he's pushing it.

    So the race is for Vettel to get 2nd or Hamilton to get 9th.... Thrilling

    Surely Hamilton can manage 9th now. Looking much more racey.
