Honestly though, his luck was unbelievable there. From a lap down, to very likely getting a podium now.

Can they show Norris and Leclerc instead of the battle for fecking 12th?
This seems really unfair for drivers who had lapped other drivers? All that work undone. Surely there's a better way to handle red flags.
Hamilton so incredibly lucky with the timing of the Bottas/Russel crash earlier..
Yeah incredibly lucky but he's done well after that too so kudos to him.
Come on Norris get a podium
Lewis just can't past Leclerc.
Lewis is on for 2nd.
Rules are rules, the lapped can unlap themsleves,

Finally got him. Should make easy work of Norris and get 2nd.
If I were Mclaren I would have tried to keep giving Leclerc DRS even if it meant slowing down, as a better defense vs Hamilton
I'm pretty new to this, but the rules seem super unfair with red flag restarts. Imagine if you are within 10 laps to finish, a minute ahead and because of a red flag, you need to start over again.
Norris is looking good for a podium here.
Behave, very rare does he make a mistake and your holding it against him.
Come on Lando!!
utter rubbish, OK he made a rare mistake, does not deserve point
Jup.. Thats how it works.. You can be incredible lucky or have incredible back luck with red/yellow flags and safety cars... Also in combination with pit strategy..
Battle for fastest lap now
Perez not even on the points. For all of Mercedes feck ups, they can't even take advantage.
He's obviously talking out of his Arseutter rubbish, OK he made a rare mistake, does not deserve point
Hell of a race from Lewis after the restart. Very lucky he didn't have to catch up after being lapped though
Lewis at the moment.
Massive save Lewis/Mercedes today
7 times world champion! Yea he's a lucky chap in all those races.
Incredible luck.. Obviously..
Undeserved? Well no...
Bahrein.. That was immensly unfair and undeserved..
no mention of the others that were gifted ( wrong but your words) a lap, that OK is it.
OK the unlap rule is maybe no right , but FFS apart from one mistake he drove a good race.
I think its you that need to get grip !
IT was, stapps deserved the win though.m
It’s a battle this season and that’s what we wanted.
Great race, again.
Bizarre to see how the rules work out today though, absolute joke.

Just jealousy, ignore
Leclerc could have gotten 2nd of not for that crash
Good race, plenty of incident.
Max was worthy winner took his chance and took it well.
Lewis very good 2nd from 9th after the restart.
Norris excellent drive.

And possibly Lando Norris getting in on the act. He is really showing what a brilliant driver he is.
Another fantastic drive from Leclerc
dear oh dear you sound like one of the bitter haters on all the F1 pages, one mistake, yellow and red flag OK lucky with that, but a difficult track to overtake and he did it 8 times.
He does not make the rules, nobody is pull stings as you say.
Yes it was, but I did expect him to catch Norris. Good to see the Ferrari showing solid improvement.
I think everyone agrees Hamilton was incredibly lucky today (the debate is upon to whether he deserved points or not..)
But what could be an alternative in the rules to limit this kind of luck in the future? There is not much that can be done is there? Not something I can think of at least...

You keep talking out of your Arse. He deserved it IN THIS RACE
boo fecking hoo. Suck it up.
Not everyone.
I don't think he was lucky at all.
He did what he had to do and despite being a 7 times WC, Hamilton doesn't make the rules. He wasn't the only one who was allowed to be unlapped. But he did take full advantage by overtaking so many drivers.
