    I wonder if Lewis should have protected his gearbox a bit more?

    Might get slapped with a penalty too.... Turning in to a rough day over the last couple of laps.

    Merc should have pit and not put the cars in that position.

    If Merc want 1 2 then Lewis needs to get past and put hammer down

    Awesome from Lando on the last lap.

    Heroic drive from Leclerc to get second in that ****box as well.

    So first race 3 different constructors and 3 different PUs!
    Looks like it was cars that were rusty not drivers!

    I don't know. Vettel was still spinning and Grosjean still useless.

    Yes but that's not rusty that's just their current skill level.

    As gutted as I am for Albon, there is something oddly satisfying about a Red Bull double dnf at the Red Bull ring.

    Surprised this didn't happen really, was the car really that marginal that they couldn't risk it.

    Credit to the stewards for sorting the penalty out during the race, and for the TV graphics for being able to focus on the Hamilton-Norris gap effectively, really made the last few laps knowing the penalty and watching Norris smash that last lap.

    Why? I have seen your reasons and I think that is an interpretation but I believe it is more a symbol that a complex statement.
