He should have been doing that for the last 5 years.

The stewards called both Hamilton and Verstappen after the race and concluded that the Red Bull Racing driver was at fault. As a result, Verstappen received a three-place grid penalty for the Russian GP.

2022 is going to be interesting - George Russell has already said he's not joining Mercedes to be Lewis Hamilton's number 2 driver!

I'm pretty new to F1 (I don't even get to watch the races themselves - long story) but it sure seems to me from what has happened so far this season that Hamilton gets far more benefit of the doubt than any other driver. There is absolutely no question he is a fantastic driver but things do seem to go more his way than against him. I'm just saying...
As to Russell joining Mercedes, I believe it will most definitely be interesting. Isn't Wolf Russell's "manager" or something like that? How will that play into Russell driving for Mercedes while Hamilton is still doing so, all while Mr. Wolf is heading up things... Again, I'm new to F1 but sometimes it seems rather incestuous and confusing at times... I'm very happy for Ricciardo however. I read he basically led the entire race so it's not like he only won because he took advantage of the carnage between Max and Hamilton. Best, PJ

Just watched, after my 2 day on demand delay. Great race. Congratulations to Ricardo, Norris and McClaren. More tomorrow.

Also a lot of respect to Dan's team mate Lando Norris - he has clearly outdriven Ricciardo all this season and to hold back, not challenge him and finish 2nd despite having never won a Grand Prix himself shows amazing control and team dedication. I would have been equally happy if they'd finished Norris-Ricciardo 1-2.

He acted very much like the gentleman drivers of yore. We need more of that kind of driving in this sport.

There are many drivers who wouldn't do that - Vettel did it to Weber and Hamilton did it to Rosberg. I really look forward to Lando's first win - he deserves it!

Bottas has gone public saying that it was his decision to leave Mercedes as they offered him a one year contract, but Alpha Romeo offered him a 4 year contract , and effectively as No.1 driver
Can't find the source now - somewhere on YouTube I think.

Really happy for Riccardo. After many years down, it appears that McLaren is back. Norris is a terrific driver. One wonders if he might move to Mercedes when Lewis retires. Anyway, for now, let's hope the one-two punch of McLaren continues for a while. This season it seems to be that the top upper tier teams are clearly Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren, with Ferrari a distant fourth.

And which is something that I have pointed out to you when you have raised my request in every subsequent race thread since. So why are you still trying to make an issue of it? |

It will be interesting to see if Red Bull has Max take his engine penalty along with the Monza penelty at Sochi, given how hard it is to pass there... |

I think that while Russell may claim that his not "Hamilton's #2" he is going to have to prove that out on the track. I'll bet that he is on a pretty short leash. He also knows that he is there to learn and that, given that Hamilton will probably retire in the next couple of years, he will get his shot. |

Hats off to Norris, who has been one of my favorite drivers to watch this year. And while he out performed Riccardo for most of the year, something has switched on with Daniel since the summer break. Lando's time will come. Good to see McLaren rounding back into form. |
