Absolute class from Lewis there, I have seen certain Germans celebrate like maniacs after a win like that.

You can say a lot about it, but I do like the all or nothing approach from Vettel.. it is still early on in the season, so you can take some risk.
Really that was idiotic from Vettel
He panicked and was desperate.
He should have thought about the championship..... all or nothing approach are for rookies not for 4 times WDC.
Was pathetic really , he was countering Lewis and tried something and missed the brake
And what about Hamilton who managed to ruin his suspersofts losing about 4 seconds when he was ALONE?
For sure when the SC enter the luckiest win.
That doesn't make Vettel s stupidity any better.

Yea SC gave Vettel the luckiest win in Australia and here Lewis got it back... evens stevens

Ah... Bu** hurt? Luck has a strange way of going around.
lol no bu*hurt here, the only that does is you, that's why you have been quiet until now.
It's such a pity they don't offer Internet, even in business class. Stupid people make you wait until you reach the lounge.
Trying to make yourself sound important, you must suffer small man syndrome. Resorting to insults shows your intelligence.

Just watched a reply of the incident.
Max moved entire car width to right in response to rics move, and then he moved again to the left by same amount.

Rules are clear on this, but people keep defending this kind of moves, and as long as they do, max will keep doing it.

So basically, if was punished 2 years ago, today he would end P5. This way he's Pwall.

Before it starts, no need to bash Vettel! He saw a gap and went for it. He probably thought he could stop it, but couldn't. Simple as that. Only hindsight says it would have been better to settle for 2nd and thus the win. Lucky win in Aus, and now Hamilton got it back (shame his team mate got it. Bottas deserved this win 100%).

Red Bull have their hands full fighting each other. Really slowed each other down. Hopefully Things don't widen up much in Spain with the upgrades. This season is so much better than recent years!

Agreed terrible move, he was smart to stay in Bottas slipstream to fend off Hamilton, but no way he could pull that off from that far back, reset and try again with DRS.

Vettel's move was totally unnecessary, he should have waited for next lap....he panicked, he should have thought bout the championship FFS. With DRS in 2 laps it would have been slam dung
And Bottas got the lead only coz of SC ....if not he would have come in 3rd place.
But losing a win like that is painstaking and Lewis knows that and he gave 100% credit to Bottas

Congratz to Lewis, but I will never watch f1 again. The pain is unbearable, 10 laps to go I went out to have some fresh air, I come back and I see Vettel down in fourth.. I hate f1. You can also said that if Seb didnt try to pass Bottas he might be hitting the debri and ending the race, but we will never know. Because that piece of the car was on the main straight, if Seb was leading he would be surely a victim and not Bottas.

Actually, I was wrong. max moved 3 times!
Right, left, and then right again.

Veeery interesting race. Bottas very unlucky so far. Another race win slipped away.
you need to understand one thing, Bottas was only in front because of Safety car. Otherwise he would have been 3 rd at the best. So luck swings both ways

That was strategic. Now British media can use it against Vettel. Hamilton knows that the bias British media reaches all English speaking countries.
