so why didn’t bottas?I do find it pretty funny how hysterical the commentaries were about Lewis catching Leclerc at a second a lap.
He's in a car that's a second a lap quicker, no shit.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
That's a reach. Each team has two drivers because it's a team sport.
You race against the other teams see. Bottas wasn't going to catch LeClerc nor compete for the drivers championship. Lewis getting through allowed Merc to get a 1-3 rather than a 2-3, and also keep themselves in the drivers championship race.
That Merc is way ahead of Ferrari in terms of pace. Quality would have been him beating Max on the track instead of taking him out.
That was a brilliant drive by Lewis to be fair.
I'm a racing fan. If you want overtakes to stop then you deserve to happily watch a procession.
You saw 2 other overtakes from Hamilton on that exact same corner.
So obviously a racing incident.
Perez threw his race just to take one point off Lewis. Talk about team orders.
Epic final stint.
Another great weekend for McLaren, they would have been pushing for a podium if it wasn’t for the long pit stop.
Because as Merc fans have said for months.... He's fecking garbage
Hamilton’s skill is better than I thought if he can purposely take out a rival while not damaging his own car. People spent years wanting competitive racing, then complain when they get it.
Max needs to learn from that. He had a 30 point lead and the faster car. I don’t think this version of Hamilton puts his car in a position where he potentially loses 25 points if the roles are reversed.
Max will still win the championship and fair play to him. The RB is the better car. However this makes the next few races interesting again. UNtil max builds up a 30 point buffer again.
Unlucky leclerc.
Unlucky leclerc.
Well I am neither a fan of Max nor Lewis. However to say he deserved to win the race on the back of quality driving after taking out his championship rival in a corner and taking a slap on the wrist as penalty is what I think most people would be talking about. However as Hamilton fans I can imagine you being elated as that helps him in the championship.Tears are particularly salty, Pauldy, tears are particularly salty.
Maybe he can try that stunt every race now, seeing that he has the car to beat everyone else comfortably and a 10 sec penalty won't hurt him much.
No, not at all. He and the British fans simply know no shame. He can look forward to the reception at Zandvoort.
No crowd surfing for Lewis today.
so not all just the car then? can’t have it both ways.
Did netflix filming this weekend? cant wait to hear what those in paddock say about this race.
Sainz could not get past Riccardo on much fresher tyres, by that account how was Leclerc so far ahead of Norris? It's absolutely insane to compare two drivers like that. One main reason was Bottas had pitted like 9 laps before Leclerc and that obviously made a difference.
Difference being, Lewis cocked that up himself when this wasn't Max's fault but Lewis fecking up again at his expense.Max got a touch of luck at Singapore, with Lewis fecking it up. He should be top of the points table had he not made that mistake.
Come on Lewis!
So he made up the 10 seconds? Wow. Impressive.
Championship well and truly on.
Championship well and truly on.
Yes, try reading my post again, through the tears.
I can fully understand why Max fans are upset.
But come on some of the comments are just embarrassing, cheat, took out and rigged.
Sometimes his thread is worst than a match day thread

Really good race by Riccardo to 5th
Max fanboys are the worst when their boy wonder doesn't win by 20 seconds every race.
And yet they ask why the fans on this forum not support the England national team
I mean given the way the season is going Max will still win, this just makes it a little bit more interesting
Oh it's 100% worse. You had someone calling him a rat earlier FFS.
So he didn't take out Max? Was the whole thing a dream?
why do people come on to a british lewis hamilton forum and then moan about him the whole time? maybe don’t support a british team if you can’t support a british driver.
Anyone know if you can buy that Mercedes cap - it’s class
Ermmmmm this isnt a British Lewis Hamilton forum.
Anyway Im a Hamilton fan and even I said earlier it was his fault. Good win though, onto the next race
The purple one? It's gash
Sad day for F1 really. That 10 second penatly was a joke and the win proved it. If Max can't race next weekend, then that's another 15-20 points in the bag. Classless.
eh? sainz was stuck in the dirty air, ferrari were clearly faster than mclaren today.
Leclerc was in clean air all race until the last 3 laps and Norris couldn’t keep up with the pace today.
Bottas has no excuses, Hamilton caught him with ease and left him for dust.
Mate, it's a rimaldo post
Glad to see it, been a poor season from him so nice to see a weekend where he's closer to Norris throughout, hope it's a sign of things to come.
For me though it is a problem in the sport.
Of course we all want to watch racing, thats what we're here for.
In my opinion though, this incident was the fault of Lewis, and I don't think it was on purpose, but in my opinion, Max was ahead and had the right to the line he choses at this point.
Now the fact that Hamilton takes him out, and catches up 25 valuable points in the process for me doesn't really sit right with the sport. Not saying I know what could be done
but that could be a championship ending incident for Max and he wasn't at fault.I didn't know we were in britishlewishamiltonforum.com
You also had somebody saying that if Hamilton wasn't black he'd be accepted...
Lewis offered Tom Cruise what looked like a flannel but got pied. Can't blame him really.
