Vettel can’t see what he did wrong. No wonder he keeps making the same mistakes.

Someone needs to get Vettel and Verstappen in the room and explain the meaning of "didn't leave my any space", then make them write a 1500 word essay on why they were stupid.
The focus is the 2nd apex, not the first. It's a race not a procession and on the first lap the racing line is less relevant. Of course if you're experience of racing, track driving or just driving stems from an Xbox controller, you will have no idea about such things....
It was racing and it seems the blokes who raced such things don't hold Hamilton to blame....neither did the ones making the judgement. Racing

All of it. Plus Poland.

What a race compared to some of the others we've had this year.
Can't remember the last time we had wheel to wheel racing for that many laps.

Baku was different. I can see why you are comparing them though. Superficially, it looks similar, but the difference was the corner type. Hamilton was setting up for the next corner to get the position, whereas, in the left hander at Baku, it was a clear mistake from Bottas, he whacked the kerb, expecting to be squeezed, and ended up bumping the kerb to understeer into Kimi.
In both cases, no one was penalised though, right, so its fairly consistent right?

fairly consistent with the silver arrows getting no penalties

Good race but bad for my fantasy f1 team

Really good race. Ferrari keep finding new ways not to win at Monza. Vettel choked again, and understeered right off the apex into Hamilton and got precisely what he deserved - saved the stewards a job if the outcome had been different. Poor tyre management from Ferrari, I felt for Kimi but Hamilton + Mercedes is faster than Kimi + Ferrari.
Vettel’s in complete denial in the post-race interviews. He’s learned nothing from his challenges of last year.
Love the Mercedes formation driving at the end, rubbing it in.

Haha, I come here for your posts. Never change!

I'm still awaiting a rebuttal based on the evidence being wrong. Instead Stig goes off on a straw man about Baku...

After watching the onboard Vettel should be getting done for the rejoin. He's driving against the traffic with 10+ cars heading at him.
You've got that wrong I'm afraid. They should have let Vettel rejoin, dangerous passing like that
the last few times vettel has spun on the opening lap i think he has done a dangerous turn around.
Nothing comes of it though, and still no more on the dangerous pit release, not even a replay?
Great race with cars actually able to follow and pass and occasionally repass. Amazing that when you take all the downforce off them meaning the air coming off them is so much cleaner. Good to see Williams bag another point and another strong race from Racing Point 
Wasn't surprised we didn't see the unsafe Vettel release (may be repaid at some point) or a VSC when Riccardio broke down.
Hamilton had the measure of Kimi all day, would have been interesting to see how it panned out if Vettel settled in behind him as the Mercs clearly had a fair bit of race pace with Bottas able to put in some good laps right at the end of the first stint considering the age of the tyres.
