Hamilton showed again to the world what a ruthless driver he is as Senna was in his days. He doesn't care about the other drivers' security and he should have been penalised. I hope this prima donna never win a championship again.

Nice to see three new guys on the podium. Not the usual wan--rs.

So, the rest of the season should be good.

Force India at war.

Sauber at war

The War Of Finland on again

The "respect" between the top two gone.

Hamilton did seem to brake test Vettel, but examination of telemetry seem to show he didn't. Still a dodgy move going through that corner. Vettel's over-reaction was amazing. The guy is clearly beginning to lose it now he's not the top dog.

Saw in my paper this morning that Hamilton has more or less offerred him out. Have to admit the daughter was doing some jobs in her room and said to give her a shout if anything exciting happened. She watched most of the race, especially the red flag break waiting for the punches to fly!!!

As DC said, who saw that top 3 coming, could have made a killing at the bookies on that one......

Number 44 said after the race: "I don't fancy seeing him (Vettel), it might turn into something else (while laughing)...". Honestly I can't stand this guy, he has no class and he's the same kind as Senna...an a..hole. It's only the people of Britain who see number 44 as a saint.

DO NOT make that mistake...! There are plenty of us Brits, even those of us who follow Mercedes; who can't stand Hamilton & his petulant ways.

I'd love to see him square up to Seb, & Seb drop the nut on hi, bloodying that silly nose piercing in the process. Someone in the team should also remind Hamilton that during GP weekends, the clothing he wears with all the sponsors logo's on is part of the job, not so he can flaunt three big gold chains all over them, blocking out half the logos & therefore the sponsors TV exposure!

Isn't two left ear piercings on a man rather girly too??

I watched some of the race yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised how tense it was. The narrowness of that course contributes to it. But those cars still sound like pigs and the appearance of speed just isn't there.

Kimi's car looked liked it was hit with flak while flying over France. We need more of that wheel-to-wheel action.

To be quite honest number 44 should be in a studio recording rap or hip-hop instead of being a driver in F1. He gives a bad image of F1 with all his bling and tatoos. It's unbelievable how the guy changed from when he started where he looked very conservative in terms of looks to becoming a wannabe rapper nowadays...Anyways, if number 44 wanted to fight me, I would not be very scared. What a buffoon.

FIA to 'further examine' Vettel/Hamilton clash: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/3...amilton-clash/.

If they further penalize Vettel, I'm done with this season, I'm not going to watch number 44 being handed a championship by bureaucrats. What Vettel did was wrong, he was punished, move on and let the championship unfold on the race track.

[Roger Allott]

The FIA wouldn't initiate an 'investigation' without Todt having a clear idea that the punishment meted out by the stewards wasn't tough enough.

My feeling is that Vettel is going to get his 3 point penalty doubled to 6 points, bringing his 12 month total up to 12 points, thus giving him an automatic 1 race ban to be applied for Austria. Presumably, it would also clear his race licence of accrued penalties for the next 12 months.

As I understand it, he has 2 points due to come off, so his lawyers will make sure any further punishment or points are added after they do; therefore sparing him from that ban... The FIA aren't stupid enough to ruin what could be their best spectacle for several years; two of the top teams/drivers fighting over the championship. More so with the money that Ferrari alone pump into the sport....
