That wall would have been a serious hit like that

They are pretty new and 0.7 a lap faster, maybe he thinks he can get a decent lead before he needs to change them.
Because he would be about 12th
nicely done by Lewis, gave Bottas no chance of the overtake.
The softs are working for Lewis, 1.3 seconds in front.
Lewis gets a 5 second time penalty.
and another time penalty , 10 seconds in total , he is not winning this race, not even getting a podium.
only himself to blame, bloody stupid place to do a practise start.
Is that 2 x 5 seconds in the pit, or 2 x 5 seconds added at the end?
But surely same tyre was better so on similar strategy?
Safety cars has to wait for Hammy though don't they?
looks like a one stop race, 10 seconds in his pit it looks like.
Why would Lewis take the 10s in the pits instead of just adding it on at the end?
No, if he pits then the others just take him before the safety car picks him up.
Hamilton gets more penalties than United a season
not sure he can, think he has to take it when he pits.
Top banter from Crofty there 
This sport would be much more interesting without the box - driver communication.
Ah, that would make sense. The way the commentators were talking was as though he had a choice as it wasn’t a stop-go penalty.. surely if he has a choice, you’d just add it on to your race time?
Lewis just has to get on with it, he dropped the bollock.
His team did, they should know the regulations.
Safety car would be a blessing for Lewis right now
I would want to take it in the pit.
I reckon 2nd or 3rd for Lewis at end of this
Lewis pitting.
hards on 10 seconds served, this is now hammertime for Lewis, out in 11th
Unfortunate for him but it's great to see Hamilton back in the thick of it and with a real race ahead of him.
team confirms Lewis had to take the penalty in the pit.
Lewis moaning, he need to be told to STFU and drive.
I think Lewis can still get 3rd, tough but a possibility
Less than 20 laps in and Hamilton takes a 10 second penalty yet comes out infront of Ocon so net third and absolutely destroys the Ferrari down the same straight. That highlights the level of domination and how poor the manufacturer teams of Renault and Ferrari have been.
All that’s happened in this race is a messy Turn 1 and commentators going on about penalties for all manor of reasons
I dont think it be has dull as past years, but your right, there has been a few penalties this race.
Hate that penalty for Ricciardo so much.
Same, how about just design the circuit to punish such errors instead of an instant 5 seconds. Makes no sense when you consider the last race cars were using every corner to run wide.
Here comes the Bottas praise for knocking in an open goal. Please.
Would love a safety car at around lap 40
3rd at worse, might get second.
Continues to be mad how much Max is able to squeeze out if that RB yet cant get close to the Mercs on pace. Hamilton shouldn't be able to get back up third as quick as he did let alone have a chance at 2nd. Literally the only thing stopping the Mercs is tyres and penalties. And even then.. Beating a dead horse I guess.
I was just thinking that, 10 seconds behind with 17 laps
Hamilton is never catching Max on old tyres, he’s been managing them since forever. Take the 3rd, net loss is very little.
Hammy needs a safely car.
