2 unbelievable drivers in the worlds most advanced form of motor sport driving at the limits of the car. The tiniest bit of contact through a high speed corner, how can it possibly be anything other than a non malicious racing incident?

10 sec penalty is ridiculous

Overly cautious opening lap from lewis. He’ll need to pick the pace up if he’s losing 10 seconds to a penalty

I'm surprised Mercedes didn't anticipate this and put Hamilton on to new hard tyres so he could go long.

Might be better to pit early, drop to back in clear air and bang in lap times for a uber-undercut

I can't see it myself. Bottas is faster on paper.

Its a possibility.

Aaah shit

I tell you what, if Leclerc hangs onto this it’ll be well earned. Almost half way…

Mercedes should have pitted Hamilton ... those behind him are faster. Dumb.

Ham lucked into poor pitstops for Norris and Saintz.

Lewis is on the charge big time. The last few laps could be awesome.

Hope lewis doesn't damage his tyres in this push.  Its going to be very close at the end
