What a race!

Was bummed that Daniel out. Holy smokes those last five laps were awesome for Leclerc and Lando fans (me included!).

Lewis and Perez with hefty penalties with Lewis' costing the podium and Lando with the lightning lap at the checkered flag to cement his first podium for McLaren. Exciting!

Great unpredictable ending. Too bad for Racing Point. They had things going until.........and Red Bull to come up empty handed in a track that they were destined to take podium. Yuck.

found the race entertaining, will all the ups and downs, surprised that ferrari made 2nd place, vettel doing what he always does, hamilton maybe given his notice by bottas, stepping it up a level and trying to get the upper hand....

a bit tired of all the racing penalties in general hamliton/albon flip a coin either way, always thought it was the person who was passing had to take responsibility.... Neither backed off and that what happens

Once the car has passed, you cannot ignore it is there - Hamilton's trajectory would have put him past the left hand red & white curb and onto the green (despite team orders to avoid all curbing) which left zero room, and his LF tire bumped Albon's RR - so he can hardly claim he did not see the Red Bull. He was focused on one thing and one thing only - to the detriment of the other cars around him.

As for Red Bull - there's always this weekend!!!

Styrian GP or Austria round 2 this weekend!

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/15...box-fixes-fail

Valtteri Bottas reckons he and Lewis Hamilton will have to drive more cautiously in Formula 1's Styrian race if updates in practice do not solve Mercedes' gearbox problems.

After Mercedes was hampered by a build-up of electrical noise - stemming from vibration caused by the Red Bull Ring's kerbs - threatening the chances of its cars finishing last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, the team explained the issue was a "complex problem" with no quick fix that would reoccur if the W11 was run in the same arrangement as the season opener.

It is understood that Mercedes will bring new parts to its 2020 challenger to try and fix the issue, as well as understand it further using additional data, which will be collected during Friday's running.

When asked by Autosport if he and Hamilton will have to avoid the kerbs from the off in the Styrian GP during the pre-event press conference, Bottas said: "[I'm] pretty confident the team has tried to do things to fix it already for this weekend.

"Obviously it's limited in the regulations how much you can do and how much you can't when it's about gearboxes.

"But they've localised the issue. I have full trust that we're going to fix it, just when is the question.
