great race without the Mercedes cars.. would like to see more of these kinda races. this is why i watched F1

That was VERY CLEARLY Rosberg who did not look into the right mirror and went right cutting off Hamlton. Notice the back light of his car- it was loading and Hamilton was clearly faster than Rosberg at that point and would have overtaken him easily.

Niki Lauda just said on German TV that he never saw something like this in his entire life. A few minutes before he had hugged daddy Jos Verstappen who's in tears and still can't believe it.

F1 is under shock, in a positive way.

Niki just said on TV it was Lewis' fault and that Hamilton apologized during the interrnal Mercedes staff meeting after the crash.

Again, thank you Lewis, you genius, for giving us this intense race and incredible result.

Bad luck for Ricciardo in the end though, poor guy.

What an amazing performance, well deserved victory. Looking at the Merc incident, Lewis was alongside so will be interesting to see if anything comes of it, it certainly spiced up the race though.

Pretty much why I haven't watched a race this year after hardly missing any of the past 15 years it just became crap to watch with Merceded in it.

Oh, Hamilton.

Excellent race, by the way.

Well that was good fun. Bad luck for the Mercedes (I think it's 50-50 or maybe 60-40 Hamilton) but excellent for Verstappen. I have to say that it's a little bit sad that such results and close races come from Mercedes crashing out but, it was still great fun. Imagine if it was on a circuit where overtaking was more possible!

Monaco should be interesting now. If Hamilton gets another Reprimand and hence a 10 place penalty...oh dear...

Damn Verstappen you certainly know how to shut the critics up. Anyway it's good to see a non Mercedes podium and even better to see a new great driver rise. It will be intresting to see where this season will end. He broke quite a few records.

So, when is Kvyat getting back his car?

I'll leave this here:

Nobody remotely considered it to be Alonso's fault, and it's exactly the same.
