The absolute worst part is Lewis did NOTHING wrong.

I just got out of amatuer comp school. The first rule of restarts is the lead car controls the pace once the pace car exits. The second rule is to hold the pace steady to the restart point (whether it be a point on the track or green flag waving). It's basic!!!

Seb lost his marbles. The first rule of a yellow flag is get inline and don't dick around. Lives are at risk. And for that he should pay dearly. It's unprecedented. Should be a retroactive DQ and a race ban.

As for an asterisc on Ham if he wins the title it's only his detractors that will say that. We aren't putting an asterisc next to Rosbergs title and look at the crap he got away with.

BTW. I would totally do a shoey. It's so disgusting that it's brilliant.

Haven't made it to the podium yet. But you bring the champagne, and I'll bring the sweaty driving boot.

Careful Sam. He has two boots.

I too think it's unlikely Seb will be DQ'ed from any race, let along two. But I still think that's appropriate.

Pretty pathetic IMHO. I didn't expect a race ban, but the penalty served wasn't adequate.

This sends the wrong message to all drivers.

Last race was a snoozer, save for the last 5 laps or so.

Hoping Silverstone is better.

Last 5 laps were brilliant, though. So glad it finished how it did! If Vettel would have gotten Bottas and Hammy would have gotten Ricciardo I probably would have had a heart attack.
