Dominant victory for Lewis this evening.
Verstappen totally fu**ed up Riccardio's chance of second by forcing the virtual safety car. Quite what he was doing trundling along for half a lap like that I will never know.
Driver of the day? It has to be Fernando again! Amazing drive and a great effort to get by Massa and Sainz (who was equally brilliant) late on in the race to get 5th place. If he gets penalised for the move on Massa then I despair!
As for Ferrari...why bother?
Came on to post the exact same thing about Alonso. What a drive! I can't believe there was a write up last week on skysports.com questioning his motivation and desire. That radio message when he overtook Sainz was hilarious
. I've only just got round to watching the race so it's good to find out that he didn't get penalised. Hats off to Button too, started in 19th and finishing in the points (9th), very well done.
I felt sorry for Verstappen. Thought it was out of order when the female sky reporter tried to imply that he was at fault for Ricciardo's misfortune in the race. As if it went through his mind that Ricciardo wouldn't be able to pit under a virtual safety car if he didn't make it round to the pits, that is on Red Bull not Verstappen.
