Great job Leclerc, he had some questionable moments but I don't think he went too far today so it's a well deserved victory.
It was harsh for Stroll to get worse because he wasnt cause the accident at first place.Vettel absolutely got what he deserved, but my point is that Stroll did the same thing yet didn't get as harsh of a penalty. So I don't see how the stewards are favoring Ferrari over other teams with that in mind.
How does that make sense? Stroll got clipped first so that allows him to do the same stupid thing to someone else immediately afterwards with a lesser punishment?It was harsh for Stroll to get worse because he wasnt cause the accident at first place.
If it was the other way about you can guarantee comments would be complete opposite in here.So many salty statements. Leclerec didn't do much wrong. I was surprised he even got a warning for that instance. He had the inside line and that was not a place to overtake. Lewis went for it so what was Leclerec supposed to do - slow down and allow Lewis an easy pass because he is a Brit?

How about not move under braking? Got nothing to do with who he’s racing against, he got a black and white flag so he clearly did wrong he was just fortunate to get away without penalty.So many salty statements.

Vettel got a 10 sec stop&go while Stroll only got a drivethrough, so Vettel was the one who got the worse penalty. Stroll got back on the track in an unsafe way forcing Gasly off the track, just like Seb did to him, and how they got off the track in the first place has nothing to do with that.It was harsh for Stroll to get worse because he wasnt cause the accident at first place.
So Hamilton made a move last season, so he should be able to stick it every time he attempts it?How about not move under braking? Got nothing to do with who he’s racing against, he got a black and white flag so he clearly did wrong he was just fortunate to get away without penalty.
I guess we ignore the bit where Hamilton made the exact same move on Vettel there last year, it is an overtaking place but not when you get squeezed.
My take is Vettel rejoined when Stroll just right beside him, Stroll rejoined when Gasly was 2 turns away but with race speed anyway so Stroll cant predict that happened.How does that make sense? Stroll got clipped first so that allows him to do the same stupid thing to someone else immediately afterwards with a lesser punishment?
Unless Stroll is blind, he would have seen Gasly would be up to him when he was rejoining.My take is Vettel rejoined when Stroll just right beside him, Stroll rejoined when Gasly was 2 turns away but with race speed anyway so Stroll cant predict that happened.
He could felt that Gasly on the brake like he did with Vettel, who knows anyway.Unless Stroll is blind, he would have seen Gasly would be up to him when he was rejoining.
Of course not but he was pushed off the track, you can’t deny that. It’s a risky move for sure, Leclerc could have kept it by giving the space though.So Hamilton made a move last season, so he should be able to stick it every time he attempts it?
As for the black and white flag, if you believe that was the right call then why say he was lucky? Stewards saw the incident and felt that it was risky but not worthy of a punishment, basically he is right on the edge but not over it. If he was then he would have been penalized. You guys are funny that way. You say the stewards warning him shows that it was tight but then qtn the stewards saying it was not fair enough? Can't have it both way now, can you?
I disagree. Hamilton went for a move when it was very difficult to pull off with a very fast car in front and on braking with very little space on the outside. Fair play trying as he is a world class driver but I don't see how Leclerec defending him actually was wrong.Of course not but he was pushed off the track, you can’t deny that.

Where did I say I believe it’s the right call? I haven’t even seen a black and white flag used in years, usually it’s a 5 second penalty. When someone has a big accident because of moving in the braking zone, which lets be honest has come back onto the scene with Max and Charles, then people will see why it’s dangerous.
He’s not been his best since Danny pasted him at Red Bull. Let’s be honest Kimi wasn’t a real challenge at Ferrari, Leclerc has shown his talent level.On a day when Ferrari wins at Monza and the headlines are all for Leclerc, I’m forced to ask: what’s happening to Vettel? Seriously, how and why does he look like he’s on a rapid decline?
The issue is moving under braking, if someone is alongside you, it’s so dangerous to do it. I think it was too much but it’s in the past now.I disagree.

You coule argue it was unfair but I feel if you try something a risky overtake there are chances that you may get squeezed out. It was not even as bad as Max had done to Leclerec and the stewards didn't even warn Max then, so it's funny people complaining that Leclerec was lucky to not get a pen for this incident.
Lewis will want to get Sch's record for WC wins , then I think he will call it a day.The list of future WCs is increasing.
Max, Leclerc, Norris, Stroll.
Tbf, I can see Lewis continue to race for many years yet. All depends on him. He's boss-man.
He was winning the title race last year and had a golden opportunity to extend it but binned it at his home race and that destroyed him. Hasn't been able to stop making errors since. Now Leclerc has come into Ferrari and is doing what Ricciardo did at Red Bull, he knows last year was his last chance to win at Ferrari, Lewis and Leclerc will see to that.On a day when Ferrari wins at Monza and the headlines are all for Leclerc, I’m forced to ask: what’s happening to Vettel?

Think Lewis will match Schumacher WDC and race win record next season. Good time retire to just before the 2021 rule change ?Lewis will want to get Sch's record for WC wins , then I think he will call it a day.
Win the 8th and he will retire. 2021 rule change wont make Merc any weaker.Think Lewis will match Schumacher WDC and race win record next season. Good time retire to just before the 2021 rule change ?
It was a really enjoyable race between Charles and Lewis, lap after lap.Vettel's case was so obvious for everyone to see. Leclerc might be on grey area for some. Second later he pushed Hamilton Leclerc will get punished no doubt. It just like Max of the earlier year.

I think that it was initially down to the fact that Hamilton was too good and simply relentless followed by the pace and skill of Leclerc.On a day when Ferrari wins at Monza and the headlines are all for Leclerc, I’m forced to ask: what’s happening to Vettel? Seriously, how and why does he look like he’s on a rapid decline?
Vettel now in 5th place which in a Ferrari isn't good enough.Leclerc overtaken Vettel in the WDC. Ouch
