Live how Ham got the penalty and was like, eeh, I'll make that up.

I hate how you can completely destroy another driver's race and be practically unaffected.

I've said that for a while. Penalties for contact imo should start at 30 seconds, depending on the severity of the contact, and the immediate result. I think we'd see a lot less of this stupidity, and a stronger commitment to cleaner racing.

Oh 30 second pit. I’m in!

They need to bring back the drive through and stop and go penalties.

Merc has Williams by the short and curlies too. Can they make sure Albon is at least 5 seconds back too?

I think Hamilton didn’t expect Piastri to be there anymore.

Coulthard immediately said that it was Hamilton’s fault, but also that a more experienced driver would have recognized the place was lost and avoid the incident.
