Poll: United States Grand Prix 2017, Austin - Race 17/20

[RSR]

Driver of the day.... Verstappen for me.

Followed by Hamilton and Ocon.

I'd agree with that.

 

[spudbynight]

OK - 5th place in any of the remaining races wins Lewis the title.

 

[Finners]

Some good overtakes today, but that last one from verstappen was illegal imo.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen under investigation - leaving the track and gaining an advantage.

 

[Flibster]

5 Second penalty for Verstappen.

Bloody hell, that was quick from the stewards there...

 

[RJC]

5 second penalty - damn

 

[CSMonkeh]

What was that race control message?? Ch4 just cut to ads?

Edit: NM unlucky son
Bit of a sour taste for non-supporting Ferraris. They weren’t exactly the ethical team either today.

 

[utajoker]

thats a joke, drivers have been cutting them corners all day without a word being said.

 

[Jono8]

Ah man really? Didn't look like he cut it that much.

 

[Bazzards]

i thought it was only 4 wheels off track that was the issue?

 

[englishpremier]

Lewis driver of the day. Max was good but in a fast car (as we saw with Ricciardo) in a slow field. Lewis did everything right, including destroying Vettel.

 

[Flibster]

15:41 - RCM - TURN 17 INCIDENT INVOLVING CAR 33 (VER) UNDER INVESTIGATION - LEAVING THE TRACK AND GAINING AN ADVANTAGE
15:42 - RCM - 5 SECOND TIME PENALTY FOR CAR 33 (VER) - LEAVING THE TRACK AND GAINING AN ADVANTAGE

 

[Flibster]

Looking forward to this conversation when Raikkonen turns up.

 

[RSR]

I wonder if they get boo'ed now....

 

[Mr Jack]

Wtf. Why?

 

[Bazzards]

always smiling Raikkonen.

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

Disappointing for Max

 

[Big Spender]

Oooh that was awkward that moment in the drivers room

 

[Flibster]

Wtf. Why?

Cut the corner at turn 17.

All that effort and an extra pit stop from Vettel and he still ends up in second (courtesy of Kimi). An interesting gamble from Red Bull to pull Verstappen in for that extra pit stop and new tyres. The knock on effect of Vettel having to copy him made for some excitement at the end there, and a podium (5 second penalty excepted).
