Surely they’ll have to revert that penalty? No way that was a 5s when Hamilton was into that corner with full lock the entire corner?!

Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

What a race! This one is sure to get us nice and lubed up for the rest of the season! Congrats to Bottas for a flawless run and LANDO! Hope this one is the first of his many podiums to come!

Wow, Mercedes messed that up big time. Great drive by Norris to get his podium and Leclerc to get a podium in that car.

It's such a rubbish penalty it's not even funny. They could have at least thought about how that corner is entirely downhill and would force cars to go to the outside naturally.

Brazil 2019 was the last one. Incidentally caused by Hamilton getting a penalty too :mrgreen:

Hilarious! Mercedes refuse to take the free pitstop and then let their lead driver (who played a blinder) back his title rival into the pack!

On top of that, we now know that you can't just take the racing line out of a corner, even if you are ahead and on the inside going into it. Ferrari really should protest last year's result. Will Norris get a penalty for being behind Perez and punting him? How long until we know all the claims and counter-claims are put in? How long until we know the actual podium?
