[@jw8599]

When Kimi was out and we all saw the crying kid, the german reporter said "If I could find this boy, I would give him a signed Kimi cap". Later you saw the kid cheering when Sebastian got in front of Hamilton after the pitstop. And then nearly at the end you saw a replay of the start again, (first I didn't know why), then you saw the kid crying and after that him in Kimis arms with a cap. It was a very heartwarming moment to see this gesture of Kimi and Ferrari. These are the moments why I like F1. Kimi driver of the day!

[@NicolasSoto19]

In my opinion, this is for now the best race of the season so far, alot of things happend, alot of race incidents, overtakes, a battle for the win from start to finish, and a kid that had a very interesting day, first crying when Raikkonen had to retire from the race and then having the oportunity to really be with Kimi and watching his smile and then a picture with Kimi Raikkonen, I smile alot every time I watch that part. Wonderful race :D

[@HarryVerolme]

Overtake of the year: Vettel on Bottas. Driver of the day: Wehrlein

[@BloodDerg]

Harry Verolme I guess more voted just for Vettel just because they are fans of him instead of making a neutral decision. Wehrlein has a really shit car but managed his best ever finish in F1. I voted for him because of that.

[@cameroncrowley1226]

I voted for Wehrlein cause he held off Sainz for 25+ laps, all whilst gaining a gap over the Haas cars, AND lapping faster than Hulkenberg near the end of the race.

[@jraybay]

Harry Verolme Overtake of the year, 5 races into the season, good one.

[@-BuddyGuy]

Did you even watch the race? Bottas was holding him up in a critical part of the race. Vettel tried a conventional overtake the previous lap but Bottas made a defensive move which was close to the edge in terms of breaking the 2 defensive moves rule. The commentators predicted a dummy on the next lap, and presumably Bottas predicted that too. Vettel decided to force the issue in an all or nothing move instead of risking sitting behind Bottas after an illegal double defense move whining pointlessly to race control as Hamilton caught up. What happened in Martin Brundle's voice at that moment is what happened in Bottas' brain and where he could have completely closed the door on the grass, he bought the second dummy and by the time he knew what was happening Vettel already had the inside and it was too late for Bottas to close the gap, or enter wide in the typical racing line and try some kind of an undercut. The execution was incredibly risky for Vettel as he was violently maneuvering the car and touching the grass, however the tactic guaranteed a pass on Bottas, who was forced to neither pick the inside nor the outside for the corner and thus couldn't defend on entry or exit. Really smart, ballsy racing and the most exciting and aggressive move I've seen in a long time in F1.

Summary of the race: - Bottas lacks that killer instinct to fight for position with Hamilton. - Perez deserves a better car - Ferrari screwed up big time in strategy with Vettel today - Alonso has another sad weekend - Stroll and Palmer are slowly waving themselves goodbye from F1 after this season if they keep under performing. - Best moment of the race: Kimi with the kid!

Ciaron Smith 100% on the part with Kimi but he always has bad luck... if you see the start he was ahead of bottas. On Alonso... maybe overrated but to takes that piece of shit car to P7 take fucking skill... look as his dum team mate. Verstapen is overrated.

[@ciaronsmith4995]

Yo the McLaren is a good chassis. Just because Vandoorne is awful doesn't make Alonso's lap GOOD. Its objective see.

[@sjoseph001]

From the aerial view going into turn 1 at the start, I can't really say that Bottas carries any blame for bumping into Raikonen. If anything, it was Raikkonen that turned in on Bottas. Having said that, Verstappen was trying to go through on the outside of turn 1, making that three abreast, which is asking for a bit too much.

[@markhermens1174]

Verstappen gave Kimi enough space to make it happen, but Kimi turned in too much.

So is nobody gonna mention how ridiculous it is that Vettel is DotD? I mean sure, his overtake on Bottas is probably the best overtake of the season so far, but he didn't really do much considering that he started 2nd and finished 2nd. Meanwhile, Wehrlein started 15th and finished 8th. Kvyat started 19th and finished 9th. Not worth mentioning?
