Most exciting race so far!! Plenty of action for a change and good on Riccardo for winning.
No love lost between Vettel and Hamilton me thinks!!!!

Vettel clearly got brake tested . I'm fed with how all this has become with all the drivers bitching and stewards getting heavy handed get some racing going

They showed a throttle trace that showed he didn't back out of the throttle though and it is the first drivers right to dictate the pace.

I watched it and it certainly looked like Hamilton braked or slowed right down for no reason causing Vettel to run into the back of him, but then Vettel did for what ever reason turn into Hamilton. They are both as bad as each other if you ask me. I think it was great that other drivers got the podium places!

Your right. F1 is a spent force cant believe that Rossi winning at 38 this weekend against the young bucks has not got a thread. Those Moto GP lads make the F1 poofters look very tame.

I thought Stroll did very well handling the restarts etc and bringing it home on the podium after all the criticism he's had. He was on for 5th or 6th without the incident anyway so fair play.

Hamilton vs Vettel was entertaining, telemetry shows hammy didn't do anything he hadn't previously or used the brakes but I'll bet if you look at all the data he lifted and harvested slowing down a bit, like previously, not surprised Vettel did what he did, not as bad as Senna or Schumacher in the past , great for TV

I must admit I used to watch every single one when the likes of Damon Hill were racing (said Hello to him in my local pub twice recently) and this is the first in ages that I stopped work in the garage and watched to the end.

Best race of the year so far, for action anyway.

I really like this track too. The long straight is always going to make for exciting safety car restarts as whoever is in the lead will want to leave it as late as possible to bolt to avoid being overtaken in the slip stream.

There is probably little they can do about it to, if they started earlier in the lap they would just catch the pace car before it had a chance to reach the pit lane
