    I am a paid up F1TV subscriber and it didn't work - anyone in the same boat? They are probably working from home but if the service isn't delivered there should be compensation. Sounded like a great race.

    Great race from Leclerc in fairness.

    He was very lucky that Perez took evasive action, that overtake could have been a collision and it would have been 100% Leclerc's fault.

    Who said anything about illegal?

    It’s rare that a legal one would go down. I’m going to call it an educated guess.

    If evidence of the paid for stream is posted I’ll retract my post. I have a feeling I won’t have to.

    The poster called him ‘black Jesus’ earlier. Of course the post was reported and no action taken as they’re still here.

    Mods are just as culpable for allowing it.
    Yeah, called him out on that post too. I reported it. Hopefully its gets sorted earlier.

    Anyway, fantastic final few laps. Congrats to Lando, what a final lap. Penalty should stand and he deserved his podium

    The last few laps after the last Safety Car were crazy.

    Nice to see Lando up there. 2020 and 2021 might be write offs, but there's hopefully a lot to look forward to in F1 when the new rules come into fruition in 2022 and we've got these young guys coming into their peak.

    Albon needs to learn from that, regardless of who deems who at fault.
    He had plenty of car under him, he was going to pass Hamilton and who knows what he might have come away with today with a little bit of patience.
    Just because you get your nose in front doesn't mean you are going to get it around the corner - he can ask his teammate all about that.


    Delighted for Lando.


    Lewis will keep the penaltknee.

    The paid stream didn't work for me.

    His nose and most of the rest of his car was well in front. Any reasonable, clean driver would have known not to do what Lewis did, but he's used to the FIA giving him an easy ride so it's no surprise he chose to punt him off. Albon not to blame in the slightest.

    Well that was a great race all things considered, sadly it seems like it will be a Merc procession to both titles, just a case of which driver wins!

    Can’t believe Ferrari, what a ****show for Vettel

    Vettel put himself there. Le Clerc got a result in a Ferrari that may be off the pace but proved to be more reliable than others.

    Wikipedia says fastest lap for Bottas? Thought Norris got it.

    Why do they have the podium all social-distanced out, then they huddle together for a photo afterwards? Seems a bit self defeating. They may as well have used the real podium.

    Wonder how long it will take the British public and media to switch their preference from Lewis to Lando ? He seems a lot more likeable ...

    I watched a lot of his simracing streams during the lockdown and he seems a genuinely nice guy, delighted for him today.

    Delighted with that podium and thrilled for McLaren who have had a horrid time in the last few years.

    Each team has pods of people who can mix only within their pods. They've masks on too which have to be worn if they can't social distance. Masks must be worn anyway when in the race facilities.

    The risk is low, they're all being tested every 5 days etc.

    Seems a totally reasonable sentiment. I acknowledge Lewis is the best driver but can't stand him whinging over the radio.

    Lando seems like a sound guy. Lewis is established so they won't turn against him but they could gravitate towards Lando.

    Hamiltons penalty is a sham


    Coulthard once said the punishment should always fit in with the consequences for the other driver. I think it was when Hamilton was punted off the track by someone who got a 10 second penalty. Will be interesting to see his opinion tonight on CH4 highlights

    The post was made well before the race. You had posted about cleaning up the mess after I reported the post.

    Hamilton gets more vitriol on these parts for feck all and nothing has ever been done about it. This has been going on for years. So yes, in my opinion, you are culpable because you allow everything else be said about him.

    How about you don’t throw a fit at me and deal with the racist post? Some nice priorities there.

    Christ sake, who'd want to be a mod with all you lot, He can't even watch the race without the little babies howling for mummy's attention.

    Racial crap from both sides and demanding immediate modding for minor rubbish, I'd have you all banned from any further race threads.
