    That was close - great drive by Lewis. Hopefully this isn't just first race jitters by Mercedes and it is this close for the rest of the season.

    Awesome by Lewis. Showing everyone why he is the GOAT. Wonder what the Lewis haters will say now?

    He wasn't even close to being near the track limits. He looked a full car width off it

    Don't see how they could appeal it

    First race I’ve watched start to finish in about 20 years. Been a convert again from watching F1 drive to survive on Netflix. Fantastic stuff today. Hope it’s the start of a great battle between Max and Lewis this year.

    Fair play to Mercedes & Hamilton, was a class race. But they should have been called about going wide on turn 4 far earlier.

    Bit more patience from Max would have surely seen him take the lead on the straight the next lap. Great race from loads of drivers. Hamilton showing his class. Max unlucky. Excited to see how Perez does for the rest of the year to make the constructors a fight.

    At least Bottas got the fastest lap despite that utter fiasco by the pit crew again (never seems to happen to Lewis).

    How much of an overall advantage did Lewis gain in the earlier part of the race by, as he admitted himself, consistently going off the track? He got away with it again.

    Fair play to Tsunoda. One to watch for the future.

    Good race and but red bull left that one behind, impressive stuff from perez and norris with a solid drive too.

    Atleast it looks like red bull have plenty to challenge Mercedes with this year.

    Great race! Fair play to Hamilton. Max should have passed him at the end of the first straight instead.

    Horner questions everything. Don’t see there being an issue though as they were told about it during the race and then they stopped.

    If it was the other way around Hamilton would have made a clean pass and won the race. Verstappen is quality but still a bit to learn. More composure needed.

    Once again, Hamilton getting the lucky/ marginal calls with stewards today . Some things never change .

    He wasn’t saying there is no track limits when verstappen overtook him .

    That's terrible for Max, abiding by the rules all race. And as it was said earlier, Lewis cheating until he was told to stop. That's racing!

    What a cracking fight between Alonso, Vettel and Sainz that was

    My favourite battle of the race!

    Oh I so didn’t want Hamilton to win there just to make it exciting. But, oh my, that final few laps had me screaming at the tv.

    But they use their hatred to cloud their judgement of his driving ability.

    The excuses on this forum everytime he wins. "Oh he is in the best car, he gets special treatment, Max in the same car would destroy him blah blah". RB have a very good car this year maybe a slight advantage on merc. 10 lap older tires and still Max couldnt beat him. So whats the excuses now guys?

    He cheated during the race , maybe ? (Turn 4 which gives good car position off the bend )
