Gonna be a shocker of a race this, everyone at the front just increasing the gap to the car behind them

This is a none entity. Although the last time I said that, it turned out to be one of the most eventful races in the second half.

Positions 2-5 all doing near enough identical times but are annoyingly spread out

 

[GoldenToffee]

Don't know.

Ace, let's see.

 

[AndyP94]

Safety car now please

Ok McLaren on hard tyre = back to normal

This has been sensational from both Norris and Verstappen

That penalty’s a joke, they both ran off circuit.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Think it's the correct decision to be honest, that's the advantage of having the inside line, arguement can be made that Norris was a teeny bit ahead in the apex but he's got an unfair advantage out of the corner. Whether that's due to Norris putting him there or not is also debatable I guess but Norris doesn't carry on with the pass if there's not asphalt off the track to do it on.

Wild to have Russell penalized for forcing someone off the track when he himself stays on and then look the other way at the same corner when Max has 4 wheels off the tracks as he forces someone off.

Max did get a warning, but yeah not a pen. Certainly inconsistent in both situations. I'm no fan of Max at all but I think he's in the right here.

Sky sports have it right, just put gravel in there, it won't happen again.

If Lando gives the place back Max gets penalized for forcing him off no? So not sure how he can be right. It’s not really a chicken or egg, the forcing off happens first.

He's ahead at the apex, it's not gentlemanly what Max has done but he's taken the corner by the rules.

Well done Max.

F1 is a joke of a sport now. Give me FormulaE and British Touring Cars over this manipulated show. Max literally drove him off the track like he always does. Constant different rules for Max. Honestly it's so boring.
