    Max was never going to get away with that. Shame for him they let him get as far as the winners room, shades of Mexico last year.

    It's bullshit though with the amount of corner cutting and running off that was going on in the whole race, then that's the only penalty, just a farce.

    Aye that was rediculous. The edge of the track should be gravel or grass. Not another 20 metres of tarmac.

    Horseshit decision, didn't matter whether 2 wheels or 4 wheels went off track, he was passing Raikkonen anyway. Not to mention the fact Verstappen didn't really have anywhere else to go.

    As boring as the hybrid engines have been, Mercedes have more than dominated the era.

    Massive run off areas are the bane of modern tracks, most of them designed by the same man (Tilke).

    Mercedes will * over the competition this season. Boredom will be the only thing that keeps Hamilton from winning 12+ races.

    Fair * to Ferrari, wouldn't have won were it not for Haas imploding and bringing out the VSC but they made the most of it. Still think it will be Hamilton's year.

    Good to see Alonso finishing 5th after McLaren have finally gotten rid of the shithouse Honda.

    Good result for Ferrari today. Could struggle this season so I'll take it! And I know the powers that be are all about safety but the halos on the front of the car look stupid as * and I know not many drivers were keen on them being installed. It'd certainly annoy the * out of me if I was behind the wheel!

    The tethers that keep the wheels connected to the car make the Halo pointless in most cases.

    Shame you can't properly see the drivers helmets any more, that's normally how you tell them apart.

    True. It’s very difficult to tell drivers apart. Could b doin wi the drivers names on the outside but that would probably take up advertising / sponsor space that teams are reluctant to sacrifice.

    They made a big song and dance about making the numbers on the cars bigger last season. Some improved to be fair, and the Mercedes even included national flags on the sharkfin.
