It's do-able if his car can be fixed but it's a big ask.
That is what you get for being an underrated driver...
Wait for him to shamelessly celebrate the win, if he gets it, while Max car is seriously injured.
I don’t think the drama is done here by the way. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another incident at the restart
Alpha Tauri Honda engine sounds so good onboard, I love it.
If Max's car stays in one piece we could be in for one of the greatest drives ever I reckon.
Personally can't wait to see the bill for RB for 2 cars this time.
Agreed. With how much work they’re still putting in on it with 2 minutes until restart, that’s indicate that it’s not in great shape
Wasn't Norris that was at fault.
Perez reporting that the crash has also written off his engine. Expensive month for Red Bull.
That’s a Mad Max car entry now, it may be evil handling.
The pictures from Latifi's car of him gently pootling around the inside of the corner and taking about 15 places while everybody else bins it 
What kind of penalty can Bottas realistically get? I know it was a mistake and not intentional but he does deserve something hefty if you ask me.
Could Bottas get a penalty for the next race ?
Nico on about points and a pen.
In all seriousness, do actually feel for Max, it had the makings of a classic race.
Can he get a podium, it's going to be hard for him.
Lewis made a good start, that for me was the reason he missed getting hit, Max also with a good start.

Perez car is already in hospital. Hamilton better stand in silence if he wins!
I personally would love to see Bottas run around celebrating John Terry CL final style if Mercedes win the race!
Of course Hamilton being on pole and getting away well is the best he can do to avoid the whole incident. But I'd say it's lucky that the only guy that could even threaten his win here today is one of the affected.
Ralf Schumacher talking about a grid penalty for the next race.
Here we go. Enjoy!
I don't think Max can get into a podium place, it's going to be very hard considering all that damage and the short turnaround time.
Yeah driving away from the accident was so unsportsmanlike!
Yes, I can accept today as unlucky for Max. You said Lewis is lucky, which is not the case. But Max said himself about the Red Bull and Mercedes being much faster than the rest of the field so these setbacks don't impact them as much.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.
Qualify first and have a good start = better chance to avoid trouble on lap 1.
They cant fully repair Maxes' car with that damage.
Rosberg has a guess that the damage is going to cost him half a second a lap. If he's close its not looking good.
Plus he would need to take most of the field without getting in anymore accidents. I think its too much but if the car holds up I expect some solid points from him still.
Wonder if anyone goes on slicks right out the bat
It’s so dry now. Get on the softs!
That racing line will dry up super quickly. Imagine cars will be in quick.
Race for the lead is going to be non existent but mid pack should be good, lots of cars where they wouldn't usually be.
Now a standing start. An advantage for Max.
Maybe he is lucky.
Maybe he is lucky.
He wasn't first in Silverstone and got lucky after a collision of his own making. Whether he's directly involved or not is irrelevant when he's blatantly the main beneficiary in terms of the race.
Not even done 2 corners and it's already the most exciting race of the season
This is hilarious
I think mercedes fecked up there
What are Mercedes doing?
This is too funny
only on starting grid.Absolutely
Plenty coming in for slicks
Lewis stays on inters, starts the race on his own , yiu could not make this up

Properly interesting start here. Hamilton literally racing on his own.
