I think it might be Hulkenberg who will take the drive.

 

 

Ahh gutted for Perez who's had a strong start to the season. Must say I did not expect any driver to miss a race through isolating!

 

Hulkemberg to drive and score a podium would literally make the entire season worthwhile.

Naaaaah I don’t want Hulks first podium to be overcast by the inevitable protest by Renault and subsequently stripped from him when the cars are judged illegal. That would just be cruel.

 

 

 

Hell yes to Sepang. The last track Hilke should have designed tbh.

poor Perez and sure it's gonna be more than 1 race he's gonna miss

hope Gutierrez replaces him

 

EDIT: just read Hulkemberg is the replacement if he passes the Corona test

Yep he's gonna miss both Silverstone races.

 

Confirmed to be Hulk. Jumping straight back into the second fastest car on the grid. As they say, when one door closes... another one opens.

Hulkenberg is a reliable choice (would've preferred Alonso but I guess that was never likely).

 

He should do a decent if unspectacular job

Russell gets a five-place grid penalty and three penalty points. Stewards not happy he was not told by team to abort lap

Crazy race, those last 5 minutes!!!!!

 

Bad luck for Bottas and also Sanz

and crazy that if Verstappen would have won if he hadn't changed tyres to do the fastest lap

I was hoping Verstappen would have won the race when Hamilton's tyres punctured towards the end just to have someone else win for a change. Bottas was very unlucky to finish in 11th after being in the top 2 for almost the whole race. At least the Mercedes 1-2 has been broken up today.

Well we definitely found out how many laps the hard tires can do! :o

 

Lewis Hamilton is 30 points ahead in the Drivers standings now, might as well engrave his name on the trophy now!

Lewis is definitely the luckiest driver I've ever seen

Gutted for Nico - hopefully he gets another shot

My word WHAT an ending! Heart was in my mouth for those last 3 laps & nearly lost it when Lewis' tyre gave out.

 

Yep Red Bull made a big error there. Is the 1 extra point for fastest lap really all that worth it when they knew the other Merc had a puncture so Lewis would have been vulnerable? Possibly could have happened to Max too so we'll never know there.

 

Sheer bad luck for Bottas, not only because his tyre gave up 2 laps before Lewis but because he just missed the pit lane entry too.

 

With softer compound tyres next week think it's safe to say everyone will be 2 stopping at least.

 

Oh and yeah how gutting for the Hulk, something like that just HAD to happen didn't it :(

 

 

Lewis is definitely the luckiest driver I've ever seen

 

Never forget Malaysia 2016 ;)

Kvyat pushed a camera guy in a not very professional way :/

 

There's a long history of drivers doing that :lol: I remember Kimi pushing one to the ground once.

He was unlucky that day, but it's so notable because it's such a rarity for him. Only 3 retirements due to mechanical failures in the last 5 years is ridiculously good fortune even allowing for Mercedes' excellence.

I remember Kimi Raikkonen pushing a marshal in Bahrain 2004.

Those last 3 laps were crazy on Sunday, gutted for Sainz Jr who looked on course for another great result.

 

 

The FIA have upheld Renault’s protest over the Racing Point brake ducts and fined the team as well, as deducting them 15 points. The drivers will keep their Points.
