Not parking the Mercedes medical car in the P1 slot was negative craic.

You must have heard him wrong.

Looks like Lewis had the break magic switched on by accident or something

What was Hamilton referring to there? On the wrong setting?

Itssoeasy

Sounds like Lewis didn’t turn on(or off) something to do with the brakes prior to the restart.

Perez seems to be getting a lot of love from the Red Bull hierarchy

Looks like Lewis made a mistake on the restart. His brakes were practically on fire.

Great result for young Mick finishing ahead of the reigning (and a 7 time) world champion :pac:

Larbre34

That magic button will make for a nice little technical investigation.

flazio

Nice timing of Lewis walking behind Pierre

Fingers crossed he’s turned a corner now. Delighted for him.

Well that was a race

Why did Perez stop on track? Potential penalty for next race?

Charlie-Bravo

Red Bull delighted they have a driver to cover them when stuff happens.

That was great fun, can we have a two lap race at every event?

Gives me extra hope for the sprint races!

No penalty, the race was over. There was an issue with his car and they told him to pull over and stop.

Looks like they were VERY close to a car failure

I guess the team aren't allowed tell Lewis to turn off the magic because it was a formation lap for a standing restart?

So making up lies about someone is fine but calling it out needs to be ‘given up’.

Got it.

Said as much in his interview there.

And to think that Perez was almost out of a seat near the end of last season. How things can change just like that.

namloc1980

Great to see the teams being so happy with the podium and not the usual polite round of applause when Hamilton and Bottas are up there.

Lawlesz

Gutted for Max, Monaco and here was the 2 tracks RB were supposed to leave Mercedes for dust, so in terms of the championship they have missed a trick.

Delighted for Checo, he's doing exactly what he was brought there to do - a safe pair of hands to pick up the scraps.

Vettel also, things seem to be clicking for him after a miserable year unwanted and disrespected at Ferrari.

Gasly also deserved every bit of that. Thriving outside of that RB environment, looked strong all weekend and showed big balls in that final battle to come back at Le Clerc.

This track definitely throws up excitement whatever you might say about it

Fair play to Max for joining in the celebrations despite his bad luck!

TheDoctor

Here Max pretend to drink this can of Red Bull while you have to wear a mask

I would say he feels massive relief looking at the final standings!

On to France next zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bottas must be in danger of losing his seat mid season. Confidence must be shot and he has probably already been told his contract wont be renewed.

Feels kind of cruel zooming in on Max while the play the Mexican anthem for Checo
