    Wouldn’t be surprised to see Piastri get a penalty there 
    Yeah that was naughty... Plus it would give Hulkenberg a podium at the moment

    No way Piastri is getting away with that

    Probably a +5 but the pace Oscar has it's gonna be irrelevant.

    10-seconds... Thats ridiculous, and pointless given how quick Mclaren are - Should have just been a drive through

    Yeah this is completely irrelevant as a penalty. He can gap 10 sec easily to Lando

    I'd take that penalty as well worth it for fucking Verstappen's race.

    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.

    Verstappen has done all the safety car antics before.

    And did the same thing against Russell which suggests that maybe he’s pushing too hard himself

    RED FLAG THE RACE... Its far too wet to continue

    Unfortunately I think Lewis has this podium in the bag , as much as I want the Hulk curse to end.

    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).

    Hamilton is actually falling away from Hulkenberg

    He cant do it... Can he?

    Surely no need for the Mclarens to come in now?

    Seven seconds, and seven laps to go for Hulk to hold on!!!

    He's surely got to do it

    Verstappen who has spent the last half an hour climbing through the field from 11th to 6th, now moaning on his radio that the car is "undriveable".

    Imagine how Tsunoda feels........

    The stewards will need to be smuggled out of Silverstone if they have to DSQ Hulkenberg for whatever reason

    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.
