    Podium interviews should be interesting.

    The onboard shot from Vettel shows how much oversteer he was fighting. He was not in control of the car, driving on grass will do that.

    If it was the opposite way the abuse Lewis would get would be brutal

    Is he seriously not gonna take his spot on the podium? Regardless of you’re opinion of the penalty that’s a bit classless... going up to the race director no doubt to moan.

    Oh FFS, we always complain drivers have "no character", and when one shows some, he's a "petulant loser", just because it's the "wrong one" showing he's not a "yes man".

    Also, Lewins and Mercedes going to cry to the stewards for a penalty are no problem...

    Absolute right move by Vettel in boycotting the podium. And contrary to the silly comment above, he was well measured and respectful on his final radio message. Kudos to him.

    Precisely. The whole system of non-appealable penalties while teams are allowed to protest / point out "things" and apply pressure it the highest magnitude of idiocy.

    A better choice would have been to tell Seb to let Lewis pass and give him the place, and then let them race until the end.

    Why not penalise after the race if they felt it necessary?

    Regardless of your opinion on the penalty there's enough there to warrant an appeal about it.

    Rule is unsafe return to track, doesn't matter if Vettel meant it or not. Nothing in the rule about it having to be deliberate. Penalty seemed fair enough imo

    Neither driver involved is my cup of tea, poor, petulant losers and winners, and I'd have liked if they both failed to finish.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Actually not a bad shout would have kept the bite in the race.

    Lads Montreal Isn’t like other tracks like silver stone where there is loads of run off areas. Where was vettel supposed to go ? Crash into the wall and then take Hamilton out ?

    Less likely to boo "Mercedes".

    I find it funny that after the race has been the most exciting thing all season!

    She enjoyed herself up there which was nice to see regardless of the reasons.

    I just heard about this and seen it. What was Vettel supposed to do? Crash?
    Absolutely insane decision.
    If he tried to stay off the racing line he might have spun around and taken both himself and Hamilton out.
    This isn't a big wide track.

    It all boils down to Seb making a mistake. I don't think he had anywhere to go but if you make a mistake it can cost you a place and that's what happened. Very very disappointing to see another Merc win but I have lost all sympathy after his petulance.

    All the professional racing drivers turned pundits on Sky agree, did not deserve a penalty.

    Clearly, some people think he should've just crashed in the barrier he avoided inside the chicane...

    I want to think Merc crying wasn't a factor and it's sheer incompetence from the side of the judges.
