No matter who you support having 2 drivers competing week in week out has certainly benefited the sport. Been the best season in a long time and has already gave us some great racing and controversial moments which is what we want!
Max had a great start too, such a shame
It did look very strange.
Can’t believe Max hasn’t got suspension damage, Norris impact was massive on his rear right.
Really? Was clearly Bottas' fault and there's no need for talking like that.
Norris took out Verstappen. Suppose it was a joke though
No.. much better. Lewis only won because he intentionally took out all of his opponents, remember.
Definitely a mistake by Bottas. Just went to deep before braking.
OK changed my mind, Bottas to blame totally misjudged the situation.
That is racing. Win some and loose some.
But that's not the case at the moment.
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but Hamilton and Bottas drive the exact same car right? Do they intentionally put 1 good and 1 bad driver in all these teams? This start makes it questionable whether Bottas even has a drivers license.
He wouldn't be there if it wasn't for his daddies money.
I think we almost all do. I have Ferrari rather than Leclerc though so 1 still in the game.
Well that is one way to really piss Redbull off. I can't wait for them to start whinging that Bottas took them out on purpose 
It's not a knock on Hamilton, he started P1 which is good and he's had a good start but he's just very lucky Max gets taken out. It's sad really how the season gets decided by two crashes in a row. There's no way they can repair Max's car with all the damage on the right side. You can fix a front wing or something but you can't fix this. Max will be lucky to make top 10.
Gutted. He had made a great start.
Three crashes. Also the puncture.
Norris was a passenger after Bottas rear ended him
You see his onboard? Brilliant stuff.
This is going to be a right random race.
Typical binary mindset.
Hamiton on his way to 8th with ramming Max out with his and co-drivers car. Impeccable tactics
Bottas is just incredibly incompetent
Bottas isn't English mate. Unless you think Lando planned it all. Evil mastermind.
Lewis, Max and Sergio for me.
Le Clerc
Oh boring the sun is coming out, we want more rain
Hope we get a shock podium and Russell does get some disaster hit him so he finally scores points

How can you say he isn't? You actually think his car will be 100% after the red flag? And even if they manage to pull off a miracle repair, he's 13th after he was second when he got taken out. He had a good start and is the victim of Bottas' stupidity. He did nothing wrong. Of course he's unlucky.So you are saying Max is unlucky?
Despite a red flag chance to repair?
As per usual, Lewis Hamilton the stand out lucky bastard!
F1 needs more competition. Would be great if Ferrari can start competing with Red Bull & Mercedes.
No. It just Bottas is not the same quality driver as Lewis/Max, never will be. Many argue Merc should put Russel next to Lewis from next year or should have been this year also.
I know, therefore thinking it was said tongue in cheek
Alright Helmut.
I'd been doing well with Lando + McLaren for 2-3 races now, then with Ferrari looking stronger here I changed to Leclerc + Ferrari. So yeah at least have Ferrari but I will only score driver points from Verstappen if he manages to get back in there.
They’re talking about max getting 2nd. All well and good, but that’s assuming his car is in a decent condition.
Good repairs on Max but he’s going to be without a big part of the floor.
Hamilton cheating within the rules again, by accelerating away from the crash so he didn't get hit.
I completely get that Max is unlucky. But why does that by default make Lewis lucky? He qualified first, he made a great start, which both in combination meant he was ahead and in the best place to avoid collisions. Max is unlucky 100% and to the extent that gives Hamilton a gain in the championship, it benefits Lewis. But there is a reason beyond luck as to why Hamilton came out of that unscathed.
