Voted Vettel, he was almost as fast as Kimi until Kimi's wheel came off. (Joke)
Voted Lando "Chuck" Norris, he's top driver!!!

Please, a genuine question, not trying to bait anyone. Lando's pass on Perez in turn 2 towards the end. Opinions? Dive bomb or great move?Lando wonderful under pressure, what a last lap!
Bad move from Lewis, and I will always say that 5 seconds is too little for a penalty.
And... what a race. So much excitement. Even if Merc proved they are 1s faster than everyone on race pace, this is going to be a great season.
And now... let's do it again next week!
I hate penalties. Penalties should only go to the most obvious infractions. This was not one of them. Most likely, a 6 time world champion didn't want this little kid to embarrass him so he took him out. We will never know for sure unless Hamilton admits it. If a serious penalty is issued, they should sit the driver and not give time penalties. Make him come into the pits and watch the race in the corner wearing a dunce cap.I believe the move by Hamilton was a deliberate choice.
It's unfair towards Albon and he gets royally screwed, but from Ham's perspective, it was the best choice to make.
If you look at the feed from Ham's perspective, the point where he needs to let off the throttle to give Albon room, he'd ruin his corner exit. Considering this was just after a safety car ended, he would probably be passed by a few more cars, so the choice from his perspective was understandable.
In my opinion, it was similar to Vettel's penalty in Canada last year. Also 5 seconds, so the penalty given seems consistent to me.
Hamilton in Canada was lucky enough to keep it together on the grass. I don't know if Albon could've avoided the collision by going wide off track.
He left the door wide open, same as Leclerc to Max last year. Lando came from very far back but he made the corner without running wide so I don't see it like dive bomb. For me it is great move.Please, a genuine question, not trying to bait anyone. Lando's pass on Perez in turn 2 towards the end. Opinions? Dive bomb or great move?
I agree. Perez did not defend adequately, probably misjudging whether Lando could make that move properly and deciding he could stay on the racing line instead of needing to defend.He left the door wide open, same as Leclerc to Max last year.

My head said Valtteri, but my heart said Lando - voted for Valtteri for a flawless drive under pressure, but was so happy for Lando. Well done that lad!
I heard a lot of comments saying that Vettel had completely lost the plot, but I honestly think that he was having to over-drive the car in an attempt to keep up, forcing him into unnecessary mistakes.
Hamilton should keep his politics to himself and focus more on his driving
Vettel up to his brilliant old tricks from the last couple of years again, he is a choker big time nowadays. It is pretty obvious why Ferrari didn't offer him a new contract, he is not worth the money they pay him.
He is a good driver, past his prime for F1. He just has to go and do something else. There is a lot of young talent putting pressure on him.I tend to agree. I didn't rate him too much (compared to someone like Alonso for example) when he was dominating in the Red Bull days. I suspected it was the car more than him (pretty much how F1 is though to be honest). It is clear he is not very good at 'mixing it' without making too many errors. I used to hate him in his Red Bull days, but I quite like him now. He isn't obsessed with social media, selfies and ego etc, just a down to earth family man it seems.
