Really is ridiculous and you just know that Russell is the sort of person who'll see it as a bitter sweet moment, but in a small way makes up for missing out on a podium in Sakhir.
Also great for Williams, was going to be difficult for Alfa Romeo to haul back seven points, but now they've got to try and make up 16.5 which'll be extremely difficult.
Just a shame as would have loved to have seen how he'd have coped in between Verstappen / Hamilton.2 -
Yup thats the result... Race is over0

Just a shame as would have loved to have seen how he'd have coped in between Verstappen / Hamilton.- To be honest, it was great seeing him milk the podium in a way - Its not been a great few years for Williams and who knows when they'll get their next one... Did make me laugh when he started to celebrate ahead of getting his trophy, only for it to have been the Constructors Trophy to Red Bull

Sad thing is that they didn't cancel the race because they needed to declare a race result so that the fans didn't get their money back. Happy that George's qualifying was rewarded but only reason to be satisfied with the farce.4

Could you imagine the complaining and whinging that Christian Horner would have done if it had been Lewis winning and his little brat only 3rd.11

Best result Russell could have hoped for, if the race was run in better he would have finished with less points and no trophy, maybe picking up an 8th or 9th again if he was lucky.3

Latifi in the points too. Great result for Williams but an unsatisfying sham of a “spectacle” for the fans.0

As an outsider looking in, can anyone explain to me how they decided that? A bit of like deciding a football match by who scored the most goals in warm ups..?

Still think, though, that two laps behind a safety car, where overtaking is not allowed, is a terrible way to decide the distribution of points, even if it is only half points (12.5 for 1st, instead of 25, down to 0.5 for 10th, instead of 1point).0 -

I think the rules seem wrong. Maybe they are there for financial, contractual reasons but there was no race yesterday so there shouldn't be any points.0

Ridiculous rule, 2 laps behind the safety car is nowhere near enough for a race to be awarded any points, surely the threshold should be at least quarter distance1

Lewis really didnt have a good day yesterday going by his Radio message
You'll have to click on it to hear0 -

Bottas at AlfaGeorge to MercedesDe Vries also to Alfa apparently, which would surprise me as Alfa have the ties with Ferrari and that would be 2 Mercedes "family" drivers.
Albon to Williams0 -
