I don’t see it as a great achivement. Cars won’t challenge a merc or a Ferrari whilst coming through the field, they know it’s pointless as the two are so much quicker.. they might fight a little but in the end they give up, Martin Brundle even said as much during this race.

I couldn’t agree more. I’m a fan of Lewis and admit he’s a bit of a knob of the track. Its what separates him and Seb from the rest. Why there the most hated on here and in F1. Winners and 2 all time greats.
He did in Austria two races ago.
The lucky british won't get unlucky again. The title is for him to lose.
Get yourself together man.
At the moment, the Ferrari is the quicker car, and also looks more reliable this season.
In a scenario where there's no driver mistakes for the rest of the season, chances are Seb will take the title.
Crashing when you have the race in the bag won't help your chances though.
I miss the day when Schumi gave 30 seconds to everyone. Now everything is just a fecking struggle.
Sums up Lewis's race perfect.
Sneaky cnut! Why?
I don't like him anymore after he said we cheated 2 weeks ago.
Said in the heat of the moment and he apologised after same as Lewis, hardly sneaky, said somthing when angry and then regretted it, we have all done it.
Fecking lucky macluckerson stole our double victory.
Shoutout to Toro Rosso putting Gasly on full wets because it was raining in one corner .
.17 points is absolutely nothing. 1 crash or engine failure and 17 points is gone. You need more than a 50 point gap for a 'title race over' I reckon.

Yeah wtf were they thinking? I know it was a gamble but still...
An absolute shocker from Vettel today. If he don't win the title this year it won't be because of a lack of luck, it will be purely down to driver's mistakes. I've had an inkling suspicion that Hamilton just won't make the same kind of mistakes as him over the course of a season.
Today, Paul Ricard and Baku could be significant. Everyone's going to get their fair share of poorly timed safety cars, getting hit every now and again (Lewis in Britain, Vettel in China) and a couple of strategic errors, but you need to keep your nose clean if you want to win titles. Which Lewis is doing.
This thread never disappoints.
Not just here but elsewhere is always beautiful after a race like this. Various Ferrari fans have already found a penalty Raikkonen got for crossing the entry white line, ignoring the fact that the penalty notice specifically states that it was as a result of the event notes at Baku which had an ultra-high speed pit entry, meaning all drivers were specifically told for that race they must enter the pits if they had all four wheels over the line, something they obviously weren't told here.
Edit: Might be completely wrong!

I absolutely live for the salt towards Hamilton a few people in here produce
You announced it over a month ago then Vettel went about 20 points in the lead. You have less perspective than a teenager who announces his parents "have ruined his life" for taking his Playstation off him
Lewis and Merc have been called to the stewards. Explain the pit entry situation. Looks like he’ll get punished. 5 second penalty maybe?
He won't get punished.
Might be. Taken a long time for the stewards to look at it, might mean it's just going to be a reprimand or something. Who knows.
The only good thing is that Hungary is gonna be very hot so no fecking rain expected. Ferrari will feck it up though.
Looked like he came back after the bollard if that means anything.
It does, otherwise he'd get the same penalty as Kimi got in Baku 2016 (10 seconds). Basically means no-one has a sodding clue, no real precedent that can be applied. Think if it's a code violation then it will more likely be a reprimand but I didn't even think it was going to be investigated so it will probably be a disqualification!
There's always an element of luck but there's no doubt that Hamilton has also proved his driving skill time and time again. Especially in wet or changeable conditions.
Those days were terrible for f1. So boring.
Hamilton also crossed the white line when trying to enter the box. He won't get penalized though.
Hamilton leaves the stewards' room
Yes, he's been in there all this time.
Over one hour since the time of his summons, Lewis Hamilton has, we are told, left the stewards' room.
Still no indication of an outcome - or when it may be received

Hamilton has said that the verdict will be out soon but he keeps his win. Might be a reprimand/fine or might be nothing.
Still nothing official but Lewis Hamilton out of stewards and tells media the win 'won't be taken away'. He's smiling and reflecting on 'intense day'
Getting ready for the salty comments if true.

I think Mercedes should get their tactical act together soon. They have been generally shocking this year and its causing a lot of problems.
Here's the official reasoning and confirmation that Hamilton receives a reprimand - but only a reprimand.
His German GP victory and 17-point championship lead stands.

Glad it's confirmed. Won't stop the anger from Ferrari fans but whatever.
No problem. He won't get stripped of the win.
I am calm. The title is already over.
For the sixth time this year.
I repeat: no chance to see Hamilton lose a 17-point lead.
Apart from the time he already did so this season.
