Did they just toss a coin and decide the starting 1-2-3?

[PGNarain]

It's getting too much to watch and Max really needs to act more mature and not try to pull of overtakes like that which can get him penalized or worse, end up in a crash.

Bad, bad luck agin for Perez, standing by the side of the track he looked absolutely shell shocked. I guess the Constructers Championship is now almost decided in favor of Mercedes!

On a side note, why no comment from the stewards about Bottas holding back the field during the first red flag when Hamilton pitted?

EDIT: After the 3rd restart - Max, yes, that's the way to do it and let's win it now!

[Chetan_Rao]

Max nailed the braking on this restart, medium tires making the difference.

Hamilton covered off the wrong line.

[iamahunter]

Oh man another yellow flag!!

I doubt if they will complete the entire 50 laps.

Edit 01

Oh man! Alonso, he's the man for calling out the safety car, there is visible debri on the track.

Looking at the track, that looks dangerous.

Edit again

Another VSC

[anandmv]

This seems to be the track the drivers are going to use to settle all their scores. Nice.

[Surprise]

Looks like a matter of few laps before Hamilton picks up Ver. Very interesting -

[Chetan_Rao]

Terrific track to drive on a hot lap, but rather dangerous from a safety perspective under racing conditions.

If you arrive at an incident a few second behind, you're practically a passenger with nowhere to go, you'll either crash into a stalled car or run over debris and/or have an incident of your own avoiding it.

Might need a reprofile next year.

[iamahunter]

Man o man, Max had no need to give back that track position.
And the 5 second penalty was seriously unnecessary!

Either ways, that Mercedes is so well built!

I saw a bad winner today, 2nd time after Silverstone.


I also feel that the commentators are too biased, Hamilton was warned by FIA for his driving standards(for pushing Max out of the track twice) but the commentators speak about Max's driving standards, quite strange!


Edit
Did Hotstar go numb while the question to Max about the giving place thing?

WOW!! The light show and the drones!! Amazing!

[mayankk]

What a drive, again , from the champ. Man, he's just a sponge under pressure, isn't he?
That move by Max the second time to let Lewis by at that spot, that was the best strategic piece of driving by Max. The rest was just a cranky, spoilt and entitled brat, almost. Rbr, the team, of vettel's days was a competitor. This one is just a classless act.

But man oh man!! Lewis was in a different mindspace altogether!
Bottas needs to take a bow, what a way to snatch a podium! But he should have been able to do so sooner. Gutted for ocon in that regard.

Ps: the camera people are useless here, or probably not that well versed to pan properly. The strangely fast movements just added so much unnecessary "excitement"!! I got stomach cramps, with all that was happening!!

[H0RSEPOWER]

What an exciting race it was! So many incidents, super fast track, overtakes, re-overtakes, strategy errors, recovering from errors, winning with broken wing, last moment snatching of podium. And making the backdrop of the last race of the season with the top two contenders tied with same points! This race had all the recipe to savour for an F1 enthusiast!

[SideView]

Hotstar messed up right at the interview

Was a fun race to watch, not because of overtake but all the tactics.

There was clearly miscommunication by the
FIA in asking Max to hand over the position back.

And was Verstappen penalized twice for the same infraction? He handed over his position back on restart, then got served a 5 second penalty as well?

How much could it have mattered by race end is anybody's guess

I called it What a race !! Both Max and Lewis tied up on the points ! Gutted for Ocon, could have been another great podium ! I just couldn't understand why Max was so much off the pace in last 4 laps, what happened to his car ?
Anyway, this season is getting crazier by each race, hoping to see more drama in the final race

[krishnakumar]

I believe they had to cut the audio because the incident is still under investigation? The commentators did mention something about it!

Also what do you guys think? Did Max brake test Hamilton or not?

[aim120]

Max actions are there for the world to see. He is fast but a really dirty driver. Even if he had not let Lewis pass. Max tires are well past its expiry date and Lewis would have still passed him, since even with damaged wing Lewis was pulling away.

More drama with no audio, during interviews.
