Nicely done!!!

In front of Leclerc and Perez, even with the 5 second penalty… Fantastic!

Incredible driving by Norris. It's just that he might lose a podium with that penalty. Still possible though.

--- hell, lost a podium to a shitty penalty. Lando deserved a reward for today. Completely different class compared to the rest of the midfield.

Very disappointed with that decision.
Bottas is in front on merit, penalty is almost meaningless.

Ferraris have both yet to pit.

I am speechless. F off FIA. He didn't even touch him and Perez wasn't even in front. That desicion was scandalous.
I don't agree with it, but its not scandalous.
The rule states you leave space and he didn't. Its more important that you do with Gravel.

Again, I dont agree with the decision, but he didn't leave space so he left himself open to the penalty.

Ric is one stopping.
You can't leave space when you are driving and turning with a formula 1 car. Only if Norris braked harder. But he is on the racing line and he is clearly in front of Perez. The word scandalous of course is a bit exaggerating...
This.

Lando was amazing today. He was 1 second faster than the rest of the midfield. He should be proud of the pace he showed today, regardless of the result.

Dont count Lando out yet. He can chase Bottas and try to get back that 3rd place.

You can but you lose the position, which is why I agree with you. Perez hadn't earned that position and should back out.

I’m afraid that on pace, the podium might be too hard… But his pace is still a good second faster than the midfield

RIC race critical now. If he can clear GAS then he’s looking good

He's hanging on to Bottas, but not expecting any progress. If he can sit there the rest of the race that's a great achievement. The focus is now on Daniel, this is going to be a tight battle with Perez and Leclerc.

I don’t agree with that, Norris had a good couple of seconds to Bottas, without the penalty, he would have came out of the pits in front of Bottas and if he managed to keep Hamilton behind, he should have been able to keep Bottas behind also

We are looking strong for 4th and 5th.

All that focus on Lando but a stunning race from Daniel so far.

Lando has probably been pushed off track more times than anyone in the last 2 years. During starts, while trying to overtake etc. I can’t remember any of those cases earning a penalty. Really disappointed.

Daniel needs to make the move on Gasly soon, because Perez is coming… But, Gasly is with DRS with RAI

Yes true, I didn't see his stop and my brain went straight to 5 secs added on.
