    Feel bad for Max, Ocon should have known better than to get involved like that with the race leader. It was a great race all the same

    Convenient that Ocon is a contracted Mercedes driver and a Mercedes wins the race.

    I would blame the Red Bull driver. He was careless in cutting back in too sharply. The argument that Ocon should just have meekly moved aside for the race leader is nonsense. He was entitled to race hard and unlap himself.

    He mightn't have a seat next year but secured his 2020 Merc seat. The bus stop of Bottas replaced by the bumper car of Ocon :pac:

    disgracefull penalty for ocon. he was entitled to be where he was. he was well along side max. max slammed the door closed.
    its 100% maxs fault.

    Ocon wasn't in a race with Max
    Max was on racing line

    Hamilton gave Verstappen some sound advice there

    Maybe he will take it onboard

    With this logic races got more interesting. Just remove blue flags and let everyone race no matter how many laps behind :pac:

    Wasn't it Ocon who just pulled over and let Hamilton through in Monaco this year.

    Absolute nonsense. He's entitled to unlap himself, not cause a collision with the bloody race leader.

    practically off the track. come off it. its you that is making fool of your self.
    the point at which max turns in on ocon only ocons front right is touching the line. the rest of the car is on track

    He can unlap himself but, Max was ahead going into the corner, he has the right to be where he was and Ocon just drove straight into him. It was Ocon's responsibility to back out of the corner and not cause the collision.

    Likewise if it was Hamilton getting spun I would say the opinions of some would be completely switched.

    Am I hearing this correctly? Horner is condoning Max shoving Ocon? Saying he was lucky thats all he got? Seriously?!

    no he hasnt. ocon was ahead off the straight and ahead entering the 1st corner by a good half car length. max can say he didnt know he was there. as they take the turn and line up for the next turn max is a nose ahead. he then cuts across ocon
