Cracking race! Felt sorry for Bottas. RB drivers fucked up big time, Christian Horner is seriously pissed off in the interview. Good result for Hamilton, Kimi and Perez.

RedBull threw away valuable points today, Max and Daniel were to interested in their own grudge match and should have just been happy to finish one behind the other. Also felt sorry for Bottas, what a bummer to pick up a puncture! Great race with plenty of excitement!

Poor old Bottas. He'd played a long game ready for a late safety car. When it happened he was beautifully prepared, and was on course to take the lead in the championship, and it was snatched away from the poor bloke.

Lewis didn't look too happy on the podium. He won, but he knew it was luck, not skill or the best car that pit him there, and he can't rely on luck for the next 16 races.

If Ricciardo knows what's good for him he'll re-sign with Red Bull right quick, because any potential employers won't be impressed by what he did today.

Good to see Force India and Sauber putting on a show today. They're used to adversity, so when things aren't perfect for the big teams the others are used to it and just forge on.

the after race interviews were just as interesting as the race as lewis admitted he was not on form and felt for bottas, but seeing the interview with christian horner you knew the shit was hitting the fan for their drivers, and wtf was roman doing to hit the wall on safety car lap, looked like he was texting lol

I just tuned in by chance and stayed watching what must be one of the best F1 races in a long time. Normally not bothered with F1 as its mostly boring imo, but this race was exciting!

Was a good watch, agree the post race interviews/verdicts showed more than usual, well done to Red Bull and Mercedes for being honest with their views. Ferrari's media is just woeful, without Vettel they wouldn't have any.
