Verstappen penalised after causing another crash and British Mclarens took first and second places. Australian Ricciiardo took first place with Briton Lando Norris was second and remarkably Bottas, starting from last took third place.

I have to say that if, as reported, Verstappen walked away from the incident with his car on top of Hamilton's without checking if Hamilton was ok then the guy is a 24 carat shit.

Revenge by Verstappen or Hamilton at it again by pulling out of the pit Lane in front of a car travelling at 225mph?

Verstappen attempted to squeeze past Hamilton at the right-left chicane, but ran off the track and on to the kerbs.

"You need two people to make that work and I feel I was squeezed out of it. When racing each other, these things can happen, unfortunately."

Hmm. If someone pulls out right in front of me on the road then it isn’t my fault.

At 0.39 Verstappen comments “That’s what you get when you don’t leave the space.”
At 1:03 the commentator actually says that “Max hasn’t done anything wrong there”

You believed the stewards last time and this time you don't? OK believe what suits your case and so will I.

Regardless of where the blame lies, you don't leave a crash with your car on top of another driver and walk off.
Lost a lot of my respect.

I don't think there was much danger although you never know with petrol fumes and hot engines.

I'd not disagree with that after viewing the incident last night.

You have to feel sorry for the UK's Llando Norris after yesterdays race. He was badly let down by his team for not calling him in for a change of tyres in the rain when he was way far enough in front of Verstappen to take either first or second place.
Verstappen ran in second after starting from the back because of a change of engine. He must now be a big danger to Hamilton for the rest of the season with his brand new engine. One would think that Hamilton will soon need a change of engine too and will need to do something similar to keep up his challenge for the top spot.

This is F1 but it applies to many sports (especially football)
Why do the authorities ignore any principles when large amounts of cash are involved?
Disgusting.
Just like the upcoming world cup.
But hey let's keep taking the knee for a druggie

He’s not refused to race though!
Why should he? It would mean giving up on his chance of another championship that he has worked for all season. Nobody else has refused to race either. Along with all the others it's his job.
