Nice win, Lewis. Dumb mistake, Vettel.

Vettel can’t seem to handle the pressure. There was no need for him to try that move on Max when the latter had to serve a penalty.

I dunno. Max tends to close doors unnecessarily. The incident with Max and Kimi was all Max, I can't believe what he said post race that Kimi should've backed off to let him back on the track. The incident with Vettel was avoidable as well, he could've stayed on his line but he turned in a bit towards Seb, my guess was he thought Seb would back off but he had the momentum in the turn.

Good race overall, and pleased Lewis won.

... Did you watch the race? He gave Vettel space and ran wide himself.

I most definitely watched the race.


I suppose my comment is more towards Max's attitude of the incident. He expected Kimi to slow down (or move) so he could re-enter the track, but with the incident with Seb it's all Seb. Can't have it both ways IMO.

Finally back in the States. Still a complete noob when it comes to shooting pictures as this was my first time out with a enthusiast level camera but I did what I can with a 24-105mm/F4 which was the only lens I brought for the whole trip.
