He took a thump.  High-risk strategy if we has damaged the gear-box….But it was very suspicious how massively he fucked up the turn into that corner....

But I like Leclerc a lot more than I do Max, so I've forgiven him already 

[louisbosco]

Leclerc's a decent driver. shame he couldn't start today. was watching the news updates of his car and nothing wrong with it and boom, right before the start.. 

[louisbosco]

Leclerc on pole due to another red flag. I'm starting to see a trend now 

[motojobobo]

And Quartararo on pole too without red flags to help him! I’m ready to place a bet on the 2021 motogp champion!!

It’s been ages since motogp had a french champ…about time!

[Jcourt]

What an absolutely insane race today - a welcome change after Monaco! Stinks for Max but so happy for Checo and Seb. How about Hamilton’s ‘marathon not a sprint’ comment [emoji23]

[louisbosco]

insane race. last 2 laps were unexpected. sad for Charles but nice to see a refreshed podium. absolutely over the moon to see Vettel back on the podium!!

Hamilton sliding off the track reminds me of sol Campbell's never ending slide tackle against Croatia

What an epic win. Max taking it on to two worldclass drivers from a worldclass team and taking the win because he was the best.  #33 #gomax #keeppushing

[Giles]

It was an epic win, no doubt and I m thrilled for Max.  He raced an impeccable race, in a great car and he deserved the win.  But being British, I'm letting my bias root for Lewis to get an 8th world title…

[bob_z]

This is a very special year, one to cherish in my opinion, two outstanding drivers in comparable cars battling for the world title.

RUSSELL TO MERCEDES

[Giles]

[bob_z]

Magical combination those two, only thing I hope is that Russell won’t be on a leash.

[bob_z]

Omg what just happened today?

Hamilton came out of the pitlane, cold tyres, and squeezed towards Verstappen. Both entered the corner side by side Hamilton had a marginal advantage. Verstappen went in fierce and Hamilton gave no room, both were to blame for colliding; racing incident would be a logical outcome.

Verstappen gets a grid penalty.

At Silverstone Verstappen got chipped away by Hamilton at 300km/h and Hamilton get’s a 10sec penalty which isn’t really a penalty… and only 1 point on his license where Verstappen get’s two today. Where is the consistency?

[Giles]

I 100% agree that there is a lack of consistency, and it does F1 no favours at all.  However, when Whingey-Spice said that he thought it was 50:50 and a racing incident, I knew that he knew that Max was in the wrong 

But that aside, Max did himself no favours at all when he walked away from the crash and did not check whether Lewis was alright when there was still a Red Bull on top of him…..

If both of them don't start being a bit more sensible, there is a real chance that one of them will be dead before season end...

[louisbosco]

there seems to be a trend where Hamilton is never in the wrong no matter how many times he crashes.. and yet some say I have a tin foil hat..

[Giles]

If he was not deemed to be in the wrong at Silverstone, why did he get a penalty?

[bob_z]

I believe when Max climbed out if his car Hamilton tried to carry on his race so he must be okay one could presume, also creating a very dangerous situation for Max, what if the Mercedes got loose while Max was walking beside it?

Furthermore it was Hamilton waving the Union Jack in great joy on Silverstone after hospitalizing Max and not ask about his well being.

Anyway, the heat is on I just hope we don’t have to grieve about somebody… I wouldn’t wanna be in the stewards their shoes even if it were a pair of handmade Wesco’s [emoji57] I mean custom made of course…

[Giles]

Well.  There is your view and my view, but the truth is probably somewhere in between 

[louisbosco]

that penalty was nothing compared to what max got, considering the speed at which both incident occurred..

[Chesson]

All I've got to say on the situation is maFIA.
