    Yeah, nice to see Ferrari not implying team orders. Could bite them at the end of the season though.
    Delighted for Max. Gutted for Danny. Championship all tightened up again. Good race and a surprising amount of overtaking and action for Austria. Didn't expect that. :)

    Same engine as the race winner, I guess this season it's the car that's GP2. Alonso's not going to want another year of this.

    Weird how the same tyres behaved so differently on different cars, even within the same team. Verstappen and Ricciardo got the same tyres at the same time, yet Ricciardo’s failed on him. I think Pirelli have got some ‘splainin’ to do.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Max was out in clean air, Danny cooked them getting past Kimi. That's your prize for driving hard in modern F1, sh!t aero and tyres punish anything but track position.

    Great race, thought the ferraris would catch max at the end but not to be.
    3rd for seb with a DNF for lewis is still a good result though, actually better than a win with lewis second.

    I was hoping for a double Honda points with about 20 laps to go. I am equally as pleased with the double Sauber points finish. Good drive by both there drivers.

    Didnt care much for Alonso recovering for some point. Next weekend will probably see Force India over take them. Good run from them (force India) today and Haas. Bad for Hulk, and awful pit stop for sainz .

    Really thought that was one of the best starts to a race but not just at the front but the whole field. Everyone was clean and making moves.

    Bit of unreliability and tyres stuff makes for a decent race.

    The only way that is going to happen is with a miracle or a big pile up the beginning of one of the next races and him being one of the few cars left in the race. I think Singapore is Williams best hope of scoring some more points now. Thats where Williams should be looking to now.

    Peace and long life.

    Great for the Red bull family, as there were 30000 people from Holland cheering for verstappen at the track. With own seating area and camping place.

    Maybe they might get lucky in Russia with all the fans that will be supporting him. Might help him do well.

    I quite like it. It suits the background of Ben Edwards introduction pieces.

    Hamilton complaining when should be getting on with it was just childish.
    And the saying sorry was worse.

    Through no fault of his own his race got completely thrown away. (even before the retirement) he has a right to be upset.

    it was a decent race, with drama spread out through most of the race.
