On the Dutch page of Topgear they mention how hard Vettel screwed Ferrari with his action.
Verstappen and Alonso weren't the real losers in the turn one incident. Ferrari is. Due to Vettel's action Ferrari lost all hopes for the constructor's championship. And the driver's championship will be difficult as well.
And why? Even if Verstappen had won the race, Vettel would have probably been second and getting the lead in the championship again. Vettel couldn't stand if Verstappen would have been first after the first corner. Throwing away both championships.
Mercedes and Hamilton are the real winners because of Vettel's action.
I agree. For every ounce (28 grams) of maturity Hamilton gains, it seems that Vettel loses the same. Impressed at how much faster Hamilton is than Bottas, and how he executes without errors. Ricciardo is usually great at catching lead drivers and he had a good car, but did not make any progress.
