    Did Stroll lift at the end? Bottas must've gotten the tow of the century; I don't even think he had DRS.

    I don't think he lifted - I think something happened to his car.

    I would like to see the Monday morning headline as, "Hamilton got banged from behind!"

    It's customer fuel cut mode, passive activation when works is approaching.

    F1 is starting to look like Indycar from mid 1990s sense Ecclestone is gone. I predicted this. Safety car GP. Order Hamilton to come in to fix head rest, Vettel only 10 seconds when for that he did is clear DQ? Force Ricciardo to do the stupid shoe thing on the podium. This is no racing.

    The track is crap. Very difficult to clear anything thus safety car. FIA will need to address penalties. Shoey thing is disgusting. Very wise for Bottas to avoid it.

    I kind of agree with you guys there. The first time he did it, it was spontaneous and awesome. The 2nd time, when he did it in Malaysia, it was a crowd-pleaser. Now it's played out, IMO.

    In the mean time the British telecasting company aka Sky Sports - with all their pro-british driver rants, and pro-hamilton rants - all the Sky journo jokers are in full swing with anti-Vettel rants!

    First off what a race. I assumed Baku was going to be garbage, so I was waiting for the replay trying to avoid spoilers but accidentally saw something about VET being penalized and safety cars everywhere, so I couldn't wait to get it started.

    This sort of pissed me off because the world feed cameras were on RIC as he was crossing the line, but like 2 turns before the finish straight they were displaying the gap times and BOT was about 1 second behind Stroll, and I'm thinking surely Bottas can catch Stroll on the long straight and it will be a good finish for P2 and P3. But no. Not even the NBC guys knew what was going on. Leigh Diffey was going on and on about Ricardo winning, when he was leading by like 10 seconds and the real race was for P2-P5, and then they were like "Did Bottas pass Stroll???"

    The NBC guys have gotten way better over the past couple years, but that was terrible. I can't stand the Sky Sports or BBC broadcasts. David Croft literally says "ROUND THE OUTSIDE" in every freaking corner

    Shoey is still funny and its Danny Rics thing, I see no reason for him to stop doing it.

    Force India needs to get their sh** together. Vettel is a moron for side swiping Hamiltion, but Hamilton is also a tool so I sort of don't care

    I get that they're British and he's the "hometown hero," but isn't there some rule of journalistic ethics that at least requires you to ATTEMPT to get a quote from the other side? Total blackout of Vettel's side of the story. Crickets---as usual.

    On a related note, part of me wants to give F1 drivers shock treatment every time they say the word "obviously."

    Case in point as to why there's so much Hamazon hate around here: The sanctimonious "He's a multi world champion and I hope the kids don't try to emulate his behavior and blah blah blah." C'mon dude. Get off your high horse.

    LOL. Hamilton is a world class driver, he is also a disingenuous tool. He is arguably the best driver in the field but the "everyone is out to get me" shtick is played out. He is the Lebron of F1

    A report telling me what the telemetry says is of lesser value; especially from the FIA; and especially when my eyes saw something different.

    I have no problem with what Vettel did. With all the artificial gimmicks out on track, these days, it was a treat to see something genuine.

    With sports being so polished, its nice to see something real.

    I really enjoyed them employing an actual safety car. Made it all so much more interesting.

    Hamplifier is Senna's biggest fan. I wonder how he feels about what Senna did to Prost at Suzuka 1990 (72034823094 more dangerous than what happened yesterday) vs. Vettel's tap in Baku.

    Agreed, almost. I still think Alonso is a better all-around driver, but the rest of the comment is spot on.

    i wasn't that big of a deal to make it look like attempted murder, we never saw if vettel actually turned, or he let go of the wheel to gesticulate at LH. And all the brits seem to forget when LH rammed Raikkonen at the end of the pit lane in 2008...

    On the other hand, the collision seemingly had quite an affect on Vettels short term memory.

    +2 Agreed.

    FIA with their decision makings and giving out penalties are a joke.

    Not as amazing as the ability to willfully ignore context in the rush to express faux outrage.

    Stewards confirmed no brake check, you can keep ignoring that i guess. Vettel will likely get additional penalty, the twit deserves it.
