    Verstappen: Yeah but not the race leader like that."

    Kimi still has his sunglasses on during the national anthem, but he takes his hat off, of course.

    He's the only driver in history to ever do that.

  4. 'I wasn't surprised by collision'published at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2018

    Lewis Hamilton, the race winner: "These guys have worked so hard over the past six years, it's been an incredible journey. This is what we've worked for every single day. I've always said it's such an honour to drive for them. We were a sitting duck at one stage. We were having problems with the engine. I just want to thank everyone. The team give me the tools and I do the best I can."

    On the Verstappen/Ocon collision: "I saw it happen and it wasn't something I was surprised by. I saw them racing. They weren't racing for the same position. Max was able to keep going. Max is a 'go get 'em' kind of guy, and every so often, it wipes you."

  5. 'Ocon was such an idiot'published at 18:50 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2018

    Max Verstappen, who was knocked off from the race lead by Ocon, says: "We did everything today. He [Ocon] was such an idiot he gets taken out while he's being lapped.

    I think the race was better than expected for us today. The car worked well. The strategy worked well. I'm happy with second, but we should have won today.

    Kimi Raikkonen, who came third says: "Yeah it was good, not easy but there was some battling so it was fun.

    My tyre [strategy] was good but it was difficult to pass and it took too long, I don’t know."

    Verstappen: I know what to say. I hope I can't find him [Ocon] now in the paddock, because [rest of message bleeped out, so presumably contains monumental levels of swearing].

    Angry Man: That was a stupid move by Ocon but let's be honest, Verstappen has done many stupid and dangerous moves, this was karma.

    Ashraque: I really feel Ocon deserved a grid penalty and stewards should use more discretion since the in race penalty cost him nothing! No wonder Ayrton Senna took matters into his own hands with Irvine.

    Darius Plumdon: Maybe now Max V knows what others drivers had to put up with when racing against the younger Max V of the start of this season & last season .... what goes around, comes around!
