Oh yeah, he's utterly brilliant but he relies on other drivers basically dodging his aggressive moves, and when someone doesn't, there's no action against him.

The inconsistency is infuriating and makes a mockery of the sport.

Flabbergasted that Verstappen seems to have gotten away with multiple incidents.

Really does seem at times like Hamilton is on the rough end of a lot of stewards' decisions. I can understand his penalty, but how others got away with it is more confusing. #F1 #MexicoGP

Saw 8 police officers drop into Costa before. They said basically no one turned up to the supposed march 😂. Shame that a bit of rain and wind has prevented the uniting of the kingdom.

Yeah, he's had a cracking race. Navigated the chaos perfectly and has been rock solid since.

That's really harsh on Lewis. If Max doesn't get at least 10 seconds now, and Leclerc at least 5 seconds as well, it doesn't seem fair. #F1 #MexicoGP

He'll likely get a penalty, but it seems a little harsh as it came directly from Max bumping him off the circuit. #F1 #MexicoGP

Cracking Grand Prix so far. Hamilton refusing to be bullied by Verstappen. #F1 #MexicoGP

Chaotic start to the Grand Prix! Surely Leclerc should be giving that position back to Hamilton? #F1 #MexicoGP

Fair enough. I don't think we can complain too much about this one though, unlike some of the home performances. I think it's OK to play this way on certain occasions, and this was one of those.

I'm sure set pieces were always going to be central, but I suspect the weather had an impact. Harder to control the ball in tight situations so harder to play an intricate passing game? Maybe I'm looking for excuses but this one felt more excusable.

Unbelievable result that is. Wasn't pretty but in these conditions, against tough opposition who were unbeaten at home, that's a really solid performance.

Would happily go into the trenches with these lads. #COYS

Where's that bench boost when you need it... #FPL

I've got Sarr benched as well as Van de Ven. Pleasure and pain (but mostly pleasure).

On an occasion like this, in these conditions, it's more understandable though, isn't it?

I wouldn't want to watch it every game, but this one feels a little different.

Feel like an elite striker would lift that over Pickford there. #COYS

I think we've definitely done something different today, but I need someone who notices the detail of these things to tell me exactly what it is. Almost felt like Kudus and Johnson were playing the same position at times.

Starting to feel bad for Simons. Almost everything is going horribly wrong for him at the moment. #COYS

Goodison was always the moaniest ground, so it's nice to see the tradition is being kept alive at the Hill Dickinson.

Alternates between grumbling and "if you know you're history..." depending on the scoreline.

Fair play to the ref. Would've been easy for him to bottle that in front of a hostile home crowd, but by the letter of the law, it's the right decision. #COYS

Ndiaye is impeding the keeper there, but I don't expect it to be overturned. It is Spurs, after all.

Left Van de Ven on my #FPL bench this week. You're welcome, lads.
