The fact that Hamilton AND Verstappen both finished the race (and did so in 1th and 2nd twenty seconds ahead of everyone else) is beyond belief. They switched positions 8 times during the race, made contact at least 3 times and were running on a track best described as an "obstacle course".

The only issue I probably had was why did max get a penalty for going off track here when he didn't get one in Brazil? It's just Inconsistent and frustrating. And the fact Mercedes only learned about Max letting him by at the last second was weird and probably caused the incident.
