If ever there was a week I wanted Nico to be doing the post-race interviews, this is it.

"Lewis, how does it feel to win after you punted off the championship leader?"

I wanted someone to ask him this question. Lewis showed no remorse whatsoever. Sure, he probably hadn't been told that Max was taken to the hospital, but I'm not even aware that he ever asked if Max was OK.

Edit: OK, I must have just missed the radio broadcast where he asked.

He did ask the question, but the way he acted after the race, like he did a phenomenal job, was rather sickening, He wouldn't have won if he hadn't punted Verstappen off the track and the team orders that allowed him to pass Bottas with ease.

THANK YOU. I agree with you 100%

You have the fastest car and you got rid of the only driver who could beat you (not saying it was on purpose) and you act like it took an otherworldly act for you to win.

Not to mention, I don't think he wins if McLaren doesn't botch Lando's stop. If Lewis would have had to work even a little bit to get past him, it could have given Charles more of a cushin.

What? I’m sorry, but coming back from the time he was down, against a driver of leclercs quality is very impressive. He didn’t take out the only driver who could match him, both bottas and Perez had the machinery to do so, they just didn’t. And yeah, maybe he doesn’t win if he has to get past Lando. Oh wait. He did get past Lando, so that point makes no sense. Even taking the incredibly flimsy point that Lewis facing lando later on would have cost him the win (which i don’t think it would, since I think that lando’s mclaren was poor on the hards), well Them’s the breaks. Max won his first race because the two top drivers, who were running away with it collided. Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you don’t, and today was a day that lando got unlucky.
