Well that was a really exciting race. Good PR for the neutral viewers instead of a boring Lewis parade.

Seriously, how dumb is it to let Hamilton drive an F1 car while sick in that condition.
A fucking F1 car.
A fucking F1 car.
First point of the season for Williams!

Joy turned to heartbreak for Alfa Romeo hours after the German Grand Prix as the stewards penalised Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi for clutch infringements at the start of the race, knocking them out of the top 10 and promoting four drivers up the order, including Robert Kubica to give Williams their first point of the 2019 campaign.
Raikkonen and Giovinazzi crossed the line seventh and eighth respectively, giving Alfa Romeo their best result of the season. However, soon after the race, the stewards summoned a team representative to discuss an alleged breach of Article 27.1, related to clutch torque application during race starts.
The stewards found the torque in the clutch at the start did not match the torque demand as the driver released the clutch within the specified 70 millisecond maximum period. This time was measured at approximately 300 milliseconds.
They compared this breach to that of a false start with a potential advantage and therefore opted to give both drivers a 10-second stop-and-go penalty, which equates to 30 seconds added to each of their race times.
It means Romain Grosjean moves up to seventh and Kevin Magnussen slots into eighth. World championship leader Lewis Hamilton scores two points in ninth, meaning he extends his points scoring streak to 23 races, while Kubica scores his first point since returning to F1 this season after an eight-year hiatus with 10th.
It’s a fine reward for a Williams team that has endured a dreadful season, lacking the pace to race in the midfield but having appeared to make improvements in recent races courtesy of a series of developments that have shown promise.

Feel good point for Robert, great !!
Alfa is appealing, but that sounds like a Ferrari 2.0 case, unless they do have new material

That was the first grand prix I have ever watched in a bar and the crowd was crazy, was like a footy match. Everyone going wild whenever anything happened. Didn’t like it too much when they cheered the first crash(Perez?), but was nuts when the Hamilton was fucking up.
I'm also not a fan of the loud cheers when someone goes off, as you never know how bad it is, To be fair to the fans in the stands, most of the times when someone goes of really hard, it is kind of quiet because you kind of know/feel if it is a hard crash or not when you are there.
This weekend however with the ice skate ring offs and the Evil Mercedes corporation messing up it in the pits and you heard the Vettel/Max stands in the background it was kind of good fun, but it is a fine line for me.

I chuckled when the crowd reacted to Hamilton's penalty.
