Just finished watching the 2018 F-1 Japanese Grand Prix which started at 0100 Toronto time!
Hamilton won quite comfortably.
Incidents worth mentioning involved two of the dirty F-1 drivers today - Vettel and Max.
According to race reporters, Vettel made a mistake in one of the corners during the official qualifying, and therefore managed only 9th on the starting grid.
At the start of the Race, Vettel drove quite well and within a few laps, he was already behind Max who was in 3rd. While under pressure from Vettel, Max made a mistake and went off a corner with 4 wheels, rejoined the race and touched Vettel. Max was given a 5" penalty. I would have ordered Max to let Vettel pass as a penalty and if Max refused to follow in 2 laps, then I will enforce a 5" penalty.
Anyway, with the 5" penalty, Vettel was assured of finishing ahead of Max in the next pit stop if not in the race, but Vettel chose to attempt another overtake, touched with Max and dropped to last spot.
Vettel raced back to 5th, but his chance of winning the Drivers' Championship went to zero as a result.
There was no need for Vettel to attempt this overtake, that was a mental mistake. Max was lucky that he was not giving a 2nd penalty by the Stewards, from my perspective, he was blocking Vettel, though not too obvious.
Anyway, it was Hamilton, Bottas, Max, Kimmi, and Vettel in that finishing order.
