    Bernie avoids trial by pleading guilty to fraud. Has to pay £653m to HMRC for not declaring a trust fund he had.
    But people are sent to prison for not paying their TV licence. 
    You cannot be sent to prison for not paying your TV license. The only punishment is a fine. You can, however, be jailed for failing to pay a fine.

    Great race today. Hamilton could have been up the road if they hadn’t have screwed his strategy. He’s not out of it yet - he will have the better tyre for a final stint against MV if he two stops

    Don't think that Mercedes needed the offset strategy to win this race.

    Imagine how bad he would be if he wasn't winning every race!

    If I was his engineer, I’d just let the wanker get on with it on his own.

    1 or 2 more would have done it. Still a great drive from Lewis though.

    good race that one.  At least it was competitive.

    Lewis could have won that if they had mirrored Verstappen's stops.

    Or had Lando put up a similar fight against Verstappen, compared to the one vs Hamilton

    They're mates though! I don't think that it would have made a difference though.
    Surely Mercedes should have realised that they had the pace of Red Bull early on in the race and not be scared to fight them.

    Still hoping for that breakthrough Lando win this season but don't think it will happen

    No wonder Red Bull are keeping quiet about Perez's future... They wont want to piss off the natives until next week is well and truly dealt with.

    Actually - Lewis tire delta seems to have gone. He wont have the tire to get this…. Merc lost the race with the stupid non commit at the first stop.

    he May get Norris but not Max

    Blimey that was naughty by Lando - very late but what a battle.

    shame it’s just too late for the win

    Leclerc and Hamilton DSQ, Seargant picks up first point of career as a result, in his home race

    So Mercedes "cheated", if this had been Red Bull there are a fair few on here who would be getting their spleen set to "full vent".

    Unfortunate for Hamilton, seemingly a problem with access to the cars out of "park ferme" on sprint race weekends

    Imagine how many of the other cars were likely illegal. They test 4 (I think?) and 50pc were showing overly worn planks. Probably a fair few got away with it but that’s life. It’s always worked that way with the car tests so nothing new.

    I do hope that’s not why the Merc was so much closer…. But then again they have also improved so much pace wise v Ferrari and Leclerc (who was actually the slower Ferrari) so my hope for an equally competitive field in the next couple of races isn’t totally gone yet.
