Lando Norris had strong words for critics of his first-lap move on team mate Oscar Piastri:

"If you fault me for just going on the inside and putting my car on the inside of a big gap then I think you shouldn’t be in Formula 1."

'Everyone around the circuit has stopped what they're doing, they've got to a barrier, they've got to a seat, because they know that this is going to get very interesting...'

And then the race director red flags and abandons the race.

The stewards said Hamilton did not go below the minimum time limit (i.e. did not drive too fast) but also they would have liked him to slow down more.

Surely the conclusion to draw from that is the minimum time limit should be raised?
