That's still the fastest car.

Max should have kept the position as Lulu went wide in that corner four times and Max just once.

FIA says no, do it immediately

Their inconsistency over turn 4 definitely had a hand in the race

It was legal then not legal and they seemingly changed that DURING THE RACE, which is farcicle

But it feels weird as Hamilton had used that same piece of track a lot during the race

With grass and gravel there, Max would have been compromised and slowed. Hamilton could have been back past.

Or Max would have made more of an effort to stay on track, slowed a bit more and tried fighting off Hamilton's better exit.

Overtaking someone with 4 wheels off has always been amore blatant offense than gaining time (potentially) while alone.

In a similar occurence, the line that Max took at Austin to pass Kimi probably gains less than a tenth (even lose time maybe) and would barely be looked at by the stewards, but when it allows you to pass it got penalized immediately.

Is this the first race won by an active racing driver with a knighthood?

That was an awkward podium, what's with the lack of celebrations?

In hindsight, that was bit of a poor choice by Verstappen where he let Hamilton by at the start of the back straight. If he had maybe waited until T13 and let Hamilton pass him on the inside, that would've delayed Hamilton from getting on the power allowing Verstappen to close him to him before the DRS detection point and then slingshot past him into T1.

I was hoping Hamilton would stop again, they should stop creating false hopes on the fans, this is a crime
