I think Bottas had reallly lost that place and tried to get a bit too punchy on the brakes.... either way it was an ugly incident for two such experienced drivers.... very silly and ruined both their races.

Kimi did nothing wrong IMO, Bottas was a bit optimistic/clumsy over the kerb.

[Dr Z]

Clumsy Bottas

[TheInternet]

Can Bottas go to the end / pray for safety car?

[London424]

Procession time. Wait till pit stops.

[Speed_Demon]

Chances of an Alonso top 10?

Think he can get there personally. Finish though? Well we never know!

Yeah the replay showed Bottas had room but just clouted the kerb really heavily and lost control. IMO he really isn't the best wheel to wheel anyway and I wonder if the pressure of knowing he needs great results just is getting to him because it seemed like he had really lost that corner and got a bit desperate.

Bottas making 10+ seconds a lap on Grosjean.

Probably more bottas fault but I thought it was still a cross your fingers and hope by kimi

Saintz has really blotted his book the last few races. Should have seen that from a mile off

[l354uge]

It's either grosjean or magnussen upset every weekend..

[Blayney]

Grosjean has had crap brakes all season. What's up with that?

[ajprice]

Perez driving a wide Force India again

[ClockworkCupcake]

Good scrap between Verstappen and Perez. But the track is so narrow!

Edit. Until Verstappen got a power loss.

[Speed_Demon]

I don't particularly rate Palmer, but how is he supposed to prove himself when they are giving him so little in the way of reliability?

[l354uge]

Max keeps getting terrible engines, ruins raced for us

[ajprice]

Verstappen's conked out .

[London424]

Safety car...here we go.

[l354uge]

Safety car, good news for mclaren..

[ClockworkCupcake]

SC out for recovery of Kyvat's car.

In years gone by they'd have just left it there.
