Looks like no podium for Alonso.

Oooh... first one.

Race control - Gasly lap deleted - track limits turn 2 lap 41

Tsunoda having a decent one today. Get Lawson in that other seat immediately.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Incident involving Bottas noted - Pit lane infringement

 

[Stumble Bum]

Well the race was good up until Hamilton retirement and Virtual safety car, since then it's been a procession.

Well, it's nice to have a different winner but overall it hasn't been great. Shame that the one time Max has a DNF the other teams aren't as closely matched as in previous races.

 

[Flibster]

Big accident for Russell

 

[Flibster]

VSC Deployed

 

[Flibster]

Russell radio - I'm ok

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Whoa! That's the race over

 

[Journey]

That was a big smash

 

[Stu999]

George WTF. Has to be a red flag surely?

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Medical car deployed

 

[Journey]

Should have been red flagged, no safe way past that car in all honesty, no way for him to get out of the car.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Double points for Haas!

 

[Murray]

Insane to VSC that and not just red flag it and say it won't be restarted.

 

[Flibster]

Wasn't as big a accident as it looked initially.
