Let me be the first to reluctantly congratulate Lewis on his 2017 world championship. It's gonna take a miracle for the slightly inferior Ferrari car to make that up with the coming circuits (and possible engine penalties). They maintained the illusion that someone could fight with mercedes till 6 races to the end, not bad...
I don't agree with Sammyg2 on this one, though in general I do agree with his assessment of Verstappen. This time, Vettel moved left to block Max, and since Kimi was to Max's left, where could the kid go ? Vettel did this to himself, and in the process deprived us of watching Alonso fight in the top 3 (before his car inevitably exploded 2 laps before the end ;-)
This trend to jinx off your line to block people at starts should be taken out via the rule book. Senna started it, Schumi perfected it, it's ugly... No line change for the first 200m or something ? In this case justice was served, he jinxed and he paid. I wish it would happen each and everytime someone moves off his line at the start, They might learn from it. I don't like Hamilton but he's driving smarter than Vettel for sure.
