Should Verstappen keep his win?
Matt Wright: Canada and Austria incidents can not be compared. Max was overtaking and held a line as the car with the advantage, Seb made a mistake and blocked the car with the advantage.
Josh Maynard: Lots of talk yesterday about a contract break clause for max if he didn't win a race. All the other drivers (Bottas) are safe in their seats now.
Petert1401: Hmmm...I haven't seen the video yet but from the commentary it sounds like a slam-dunk penalty. You can't force someone who is already alongside off the track. This one should, deservedly, go to Charles.
Ian Butler: The longer it takes - the more worried I get.

To be fair, Verstappen completed it this time last year.

Get yourselves comfortable. We're going to be here a while as we wait for the stewards' decision. We're not going anywhere.
Yesterday we went an hour and a half into overtime as we waited for the news on Lewis Hamilton. As soon as we know, you'll know.

Yes. Yes it can (stewards' decision pending).
'It was a bit more difficult than we expected'published at 15:51 British Summer Time 30 June 2019
Valtteri Bottas, who came third and was first to finish from the Silver Arrows says: "I think we made a good start of it - it was a bit more difficult than we expected especially with the overheating of the engine we had to manage the temperature but we got some good points.
"We were up there on pure race pace - there were not much difference, but while managing temperatures we had to drop back."

'It's a shame'published at 15:50 British Summer Time 30 June 2019
Charles Leclerc, who finished second, his highest ever finish, says: "Overall the race was good.
On the incident that is being investigated, Leclerc says: "I had a bit more degradation than he had. I will let the stewards decide but for me it was clear I was on the outside, he didn't leave space, we touched and I went wide and it's a shame."

The Austrian Grand Prix winner for the second year running, Max Verstappen says: "Wow after that start I thought the race was over but we kept pushing hard and I got a flat spot on my tyre. After the pit stop were flying and we had the pace to make the pass.

Dave Butler: If that is a penalty I will never watch F1 again
Ian Jones: If that gets penalised I give up
Tim Williamson: outstanding race by Max. Please dont let the stewards ruin this. Its racing!!! A nice tonic after last weeks bore-fest
Josh Earl: not the easiest race for Lewis or Mercedes. Comfortable championship lead going into his home Grand Prix next though, no greater motivation to get back to winning ways.

A huge cheer from thousands of Dutch fans. Max Verstappen is greeted like a hero, wearing a huge smile on his face. Will he still be smiling later? We wait. But first, the national anthems.

I would not like to be the stewards right now.
McLaren are celebratingpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 30 June 2019
A great day for McLaren. Lando Norris matches his best ever result by coming sixth and Carlos Sainz, who started 19th, gets an incredible eighth. What a drive from him.

I feel nerves in the pit of my stomach. With all the history we've had on penalties in the last few races...

A monstrous drive from Verstappen, he forced his rival off the road, but Leclerc should have never given me chance to, this is not the same as Vettel's penalty.

Philip West: That is why Verstappen is a world champion of the future. An epic recovery, and a superbly ruthless overtaking move as well!
Lady T: I bow to Charles & Max....what a race
David Jarvis: Absolutely brilliant race this. Formula 1 is boring at times but days like this make following the sport worth it
Under investigationpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 30 June 2019
But wait. It's not all confirmed just yet. We have an investigation involving that Verstappen pass on Leclerc.
The race winner was decided in the stewards' room in Canada. It will be again here.

Verstappen has deserved this one he has driven absolutely beautifully, and he's driven the wheels of his Red Bull.
