    Feck.

    Mercedes powered Mercedes are still slightly more awesome than a Williams Mercedes.

    Crazy race. Well done to the top 3.

    Last second (and do we mean 'second') pass by Bottas takes second from Strol. Live and learn son, live and learn.

    Another example though of why lapped cars should drop to the back of the SC snake. Not unlap themselves. I know it wasnt his fault but he lost a lap.

    Artificial means gave him a podium and cost Stroll. Bad luck but great drive.

    agreed. at the end of the day the pit crew cost him the race. what a ridiculous oversight
    he would have won it and taken over the championship lead too. but Vettel should have they should have also stayed out a bit longer to see if the problem could be fixed or at the very least after the vettel penalty so that vettel does not get a chance to put 2/3 laps in clean air. another oversight. But Vettel should have been black flagged for his actions plain and simple.

    What a bizzare race? Ferrari would be kicking themselves as they have lost out in constructors points to Mercedes. Hamilton would certainly not be very impressed as the team has effectively done a Monaco to him again.

    I have to say, this is the second time that Vettel has behaved in a very unsportmanslike behaviour and got away with it. The stewards were crap this weekend.

    Remember him insulting Charlie Whiting a while back.

    Yeah , baby , first podium for a Canuck in a while !
    Sensible race driving in a nonsensical race .

    Silver , pink , and red cars all had issues , like I predicted , but it didn't all happen on the first lap as I thought it would .

    Nice chase-down at the end , fitting for such a crazy outing .
