Don't understand how that was Norris' fault. Perez put himself in that situation and drove into a closing gap with nowhere to go

And quality from Hamilton over the radio.
He's an absolute gentleman, I don't understand why there's so much hate against him.

And he's right about Lando.

Aye, Perez shoved his nose into a gap that was always going to close.

Can we please sack or revamp the stewards decision making. At least have a current or recent F1 driver making it. It’s way too political and inconsistent. Yes I cheer for NOR but for god sake how many stewards decisions have been totally wrong!

Derek Warwick is on the stewards panel this weekend. Very disappointed with the decision.

Didn't Horner say to sky commentary it was a racing incident?!

FOM desperately trying to insert any sort of drama in the race with Verstappen’s tyre messages.

Yeah that’s why I said current or recent f1 driver on purpose. I’m sorry but some of these dinosaurs just lose touch with the sport. It’s an utterly wrong decision and someone should revamp it. I also don’t like the fact teams have contact with the FIA in race etc. Racing shouldn’t EVER be political

Yeah, but doesn't mean his team weren't on the radio to Masi. Horner said "we saw it last year with Alex" and last year they screamed for weeks about how Hamilton needed that penalty. So if its the same as that, it must mean they wanted Lando penalised this time.

You see a LOT worse stuff go completely unpunished race after race. Really poor decision.

Next race you’ll see something similar or worse go unpunished. Yet again it’s the lack of consistency.
