Internet reactions: Hamilton deserved penalty, Verstappen in the wall
- GPblog.com
The first Saudi Arabia Grand Prix is already a classic. Lewis Hamilton avoided multiple penalties before the start of qualifying and Max Verstappen puts his Red Bull Racing into the wall while working on a mega-fast lap. Here's what the internet has to say about it.
Hamilton avoids all penalties

I 100% expect Red Bull to now challenge Lewis Hamilton’s lack of penalties #SaudiGP

Christian Horner running to the stewards now. If verstappen had got pole nothing would have happened but now you can bet your last penny he will be off to lodge an appeal for Hamilton’s non penalties. pic.twitter.com/VnZiO3kgNr

Can’t believe Hamilton didn’t get a penalty either. It’s a joke.

The fact Mazepins life is only worth 25,000 Euros is disgusting. Lewis deserves at least some sort of a penalty.

Look at 2 weeks ago. Where is the consistency FIA?
Every other driver and their mothers would get a penalty for ignoring yellows.
The right to appeal has been extended in the double waved yellow incident with Hamilton. Hmmmmm...

Verstappen almost had his tenth pole position of 2021
A dramatic ending to qualifying for Max

But he's still in charge of this title race #SaudiArabianGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/swCATp0AUS
So unlucky for Max. That was probably the best lap that never was, in F1 history.
