Agreed. Absolutely devastated. Be good to see Bottas not in that Mercedes next year

It is but I think Bottas is a great No2, Lewis won't want a competitive team mate..

What a brilliant showing from Alonso and Hamilton, proper class racing!

Got to love a Hamilton moan when things don't go his way...What a shocking call from Mercedes!
Pretty sure that eff up was entirely Hamiltons call.

I feel Hamilton is on the downhill from his prime, albeit only just. Letting him have his way on his team mate wouldn't be the right call right now.
Then again, can't say Russell has been that awe inspiring this weekend.

That was one of the best races that I've ever seen - and I've seen quite a few!!

Debatable, I'd say Alonso's defending was questionable.

Agreed, defiantly so. Did well to hide what a boring circuit it is from racing/spectating point of view, not entirely though ;)

Well yea, if that had been Monaco, both of them would have been in the wall. So yea, doesn't matter to me which driver it was, my feeling was that Alonso's defense was slightly too hard. He definitely moved under braking at least once for example.

If HAM had pitted first on the 2nd formation lap then he would have been stuck behind all the other pitting cars because the Merc pit box is first.

I think BOT has guaranteed his Merc seat for 2022 by taking out BOTH Red Bulls on the first corner!

Brilliant drive from Valterri!

I don't have Sky so listen to the commentary - can't wait for the C4 highlights this evening. I thought Vettel would get past Ocon with overtake assistant

Vettel called to the Stewards because he was wearing a rainbow "Same love" t-shirt during the national anthem.

We race as one - The absolute irony.
