"Lewis don't do that again, you silly boy"

"8 HOUR PENALTY VERSTAPPEN!"

That's a quip that I have seen in various forms

Abu Dhabi is going to be mental.

If they are level on points, then I can easily see Verstappen punting Hamilton off at T1

This has been crazy. How strong is that Mercedes by the way? It’s had contact twice but Hamilton’s pace is still tremendous.

[Mackie The Staggie]

I don't know if what we hear is the full story or not, but from what we've seen this race and in previous races....Massi is out of his depth here.

Race direction has been poor, and while this would be a great episode for Netflix's documentary, it's a poor reflection on the sport.

Aye the cars seem built like tanks compared to back in the day when any contact was liable to cause a retirement.

Will Max even be able to take out the Merc in the last race?

I have faith that Bottas will produce one parting shot, and get it right up Hamilton by t-boning him

[IainMorton]

…and breathe.

That was fucking mental. What a race. 

[Mark Connolly]

"Max has to think about his driving standards"

Lewis, the ultimate racer, instead of driving down the massive gap left by a slower car, drove straight into the back of it.

[IainMorton]

Might need a steward in a hi vis to keep them apart on the podium

[Mark Connolly]

Well that's a great time for the feed to go down

Did Verstappen get told to give the place back and a five second penalty for the same incident? If so has that happened before?

[Sarto Mutiny]

They're definitely crashing in Abu Dhabi, aren't they?

[doulikefish]

Looking at the overhead again.

Hamilton had plenty of room to go by Max on the left.Then the onboard shows Max looking in his mirrors waiting for Hamilton to pass then when Hamilton is about to hit the back of his car he tries to swerve out of the way gets hit then boots it.

Anybody that's ever been rear ended will have known that feeling 

[Mackie The Staggie]

I was too young to fully understand the impact of this moment at the time......wonder if I'll see one in a weeks time.

[Benjamin_Nevis]

The commentary here is an utter embarrassment [emoji23]

[senorsoupe]

So, All Max needs is for Lewis not to finish the last race.  There is zero precedent of this scenario resulting in foul play, never

Max walking off the podium.

What a child.
