I thought Red Flags were only to help Hamilton
They are. They waited with it long enough so that the immediate rivals would start from behind, if they didn't retire. Typical stewards' aid.

How can anyone support driver in a car 3s a lap faster then everyone else
Some people like to support winners, some others like to support the underdogs.
Are you implying Mercedes-Benz fans are not from the BAR days!? :shock: What else is a BAR-Supertec driven by Villeneuve if not an underdog? :)

Alonso might have misjudged his car positioning by an inch, whilst in dirty air from Sainz on tyres whose performance changed corner by corner. It's just one of those things that happen if the racing is really close.

Seems like Bottas had a deal to save his place at the team and I won't be surprised if he stays back now. This is the closet a driver can come to Nelson Piquet performance of 2008. :)
Did you watch on Sky how Chandok said this was not intentional and the sound glitched. :shock:

At least Verstappen recovered a point. I mean he basically took out the 3 cars that can trouble Mercedes, Lando can split the Mercedes on pure merit, Verstappen ditto(he's the fastest with a fully functional car), and Perez can trouble Mercedes well.

The most comical part of all this is Grosjean got a 50,000 euro fine, and 1 race suspension for his 2012 crash at Spa, but Bottas gets a 5 place grid penalty. I guess that's fair, no fines, no penalty points, just 5 place grid penalty.

Oh well, with his excellent passing skills he should be able to finish where he starts.

Hamilton turning the tables on Verstappen the way he did with Vettel 3 years ago.

Despite having a car that was a country mile ahead and his wingman having removed the competitors, finishing 3rd is like losing.

Defending against Lewis is illegal now?
Nice trolling.

He went over to Hamilton's side at turn 4 to squeeze him and they rubbed wheels.

If you don't know, that corner is a left hander, and he went right to run Hamilton out of road. If not for Hamilton's vigilance, his race would've ended there. Both illegal and dirty from Alonso.
Do you by any chance have any onboard images to show they rubbed wheels?. I would hate it if we are simply working from a conclusion you have made without viewing the evidence.
It was visible on the tracking shot from outside. There was a puff of smoke as they touched.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

If I say NO, will it stop you :mrgreen:

Yes, in fact I encourage it, you can use humor to turn around the way you feel when someone insults you.

AMAZING race!!!

Two more laps and that would have been Hamilton’s. Alonso deserves almost as much credit as Ocon there.

It’s always beautiful to have a first time winner. The podium will be fun!
Alonso was more than a pitstop ahead of Hammi. If he would have pitted then, we would have had 2 Alpines on the podium.

If not for Alonso's staunch (and illegal at the end there) defense, Ocon wouldn't have won. He played the perfect rear gunner.

Gutted for Hamilton, but I suspect he would've snatched +14 points with his eyes closed against Max, had he been offered it at the start of the day. He really needed 2 or 3 laps tops to win there in the end.

The atacking driver needs to think about a move he is making. You cant stick your nose where you decide you want to and expect that driver infront will look at you at the mirror while going full speed into a corner. We saw what happened at the last race. Next time he should be less on the radio and think more about how to come trough...Overall he had more than a second per lap faster car.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

I'm sure Verstappen is celebrating even as you typed this...

I'm implying many fans support them because they are dominant. They're like the Golden State Warriors.
