Some of the comments on here are off the scale If Verstapen had pulled a stunt like that this place would have erupted. I know most on here hate the bloke but blimey.

Because Verstappen has history of being a little shit?
Suspect if any other driver started pulling the stunts, and playing the whingy radio messages that he comes up with, they'd become just as unpopular.

You’re right of course. But to be fair, that is because he and Red Bull have form for dirty tricks. For what it’s worth, I think it was a pretty poor move from Piastri and it doesn’t make him look good. Penalty deserved. Not a fan of Zak Brown pleading that it wasn’t as bad as it looked either. Of course he has to do that, but it’s laughable.
What was interesting about this though was that Verstappen showed once again that he can still be the petulant child that he was when he was 18. Lost his head, immediately lost control of his car and as a result lost any influence he had on this race. If he’d stayed calm he may have stayed in 2nd, (effectively leading).
Dont get this Hulkenberg thing. Surely having Hamilton (an Englishman) on the podium is better.
Also re re 10 sec penalty. I think it should be served asap....at least within the next few laps. Shouldn't be down to the team / driver to manipulate when it's taken.

Hamilton has 7 world championships.
Hulkenberg has just scored his first podium in 239 races.
Its one for the underdog, I think we can let him have this one.

Hulkenberg is like some Non-League team getting to the Semi-Finals of the FA Cup.
As for the penalty, its a ten second penalty, its not a stop / go, or drive thru, as then McLaren would have been forced to serve it within an "X" number of laps...
I agree with you though, as they had the pace, and they were just able to gap to the rest of the field. Although they equally took the risk of leaving it, as had there been an SC around the pit stop when he served it, he'd have dropped back massively.

Give Hulkenberg his podium

He cant do it... Can he?
He's surely got to do it
Imagine how Tsunoda feels........
