    Rubbish call that - there wasn't a lot Vettel could do when coming back on the track.

    Should be backing Hamilton into Leclerc for a while. Really wish I hadn't bothered with this race.

    Absolute joke, rejoined the track with no grip, what he supposed to do, jam on the brakes and slide to the wall or have Hamilton smash him. Vettel is right they're stealing the race from them, he's got no chance now. Hamilton is gaining each lap now, any option to back into LeClerc?

    Race was enjoyable with drivers going hard at it. However, winner of the race has been decided off track by men in shirts....shocker for F1 brand!

    That is a joke F1 is over, even the pro Hamilton Sky guys are saying it is a joke

    Yep, that's the worst decision in years, probably since that time Montoya got a penalty for being driven into by Schumacher. Or maybe the penalty Alonso got for being on track at Monza same time as a Ferrari.

    I've turned it off. F1 has become a complete joke. Might try a race again in a year or two.

    The point is he was out of control coming back on track and blocked Ham because of it, tough to take but it's the rules

    He’s got a friend who is a big vettel fan and apparently he’s going apoplectic.

    I mean, for a super-Hamilton fanboy like BRUNDLE to say...no other words needed.

    My Virgin Media box tripped out just after it was given and looking at the reaction on the BBC commentary then they must have been watching a totally different race to me where they are framing it as Vettel putting Lewis Hamilton in danger through a reckless piece of driving and huge error going into the corner.

    If it's a case of a driver going into the wall or trying to avoid it, and we're going to punish people if they don't rgo into the wall then there is something seriously wrong somewhere. You should not be punished for trying to avoid that or correct a skid. Deliberate dangerous driving should be, something like that shouldn't be.

    If it was the other way around, I'm sure they would have exactly the same opinion :rolleyes:

    Vettel cooling off on pace - are his tyres going off or what?

    How he responded to that penalty is the ultimate test of Vettel's mettle I think. A top driver should keep the emotion out of it, do your job of driving to get the 5 seconds and let the lads on the pitwall argue your case. He shouted on the radio, lost a ton of time and (as it stands now) is looking at risk to falling to third

    Frankly, bullsh1t of the highest order. We've seen and heard every driver being angry about idiotic penalties.

    Poor decision there buuuut.....

    ......delighted with the €20 I put on Hamilton now.

    Great race overall. Even without the penalty this would have gone to the wire which is what we want as race fans.

    Vettels interview should be interesting.

    Aye sure just make a 5 second gap to the guy behind you in the faster car.

    That is the point why it's wrong, he needs to be in control to be deemed to re enter the track unsafely

    Vettel was coming back off the grass and we’ve all watched enough f1 races the Cars don’t react normally coming from grass back onto the track. If vettel went off on a tarmac area and came back onto the track then fair enough,

    Apart from the penalty, it lost him the race.

    I'm sad for F1. Total disgrace

    Driver of the day for me was Stroll, drove the alternate strategy really well and a strong points finish.
