Lewis Hamilton won the US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Rival, Sebastian Vettel kept his 2017 F1 Championship hopes alive with 2nd place. Max Verstappen pipped Kimi Raikkonen with a last gasp overtake. But, Kimi was reinstated after Max was found guilty of exceeding track limits. Daniel Ricciardo failed to see the chequered flag while Valtteri Bottas has a forgettable day. Here is how Twitter reacted to the 2017 US GP.
Someone’s Not a Fan
@tedkravitz the driver introduction thing was appalling. Please do not let that become a thing #tedsnotebook #USGP

To Penalise or Not to Penalise
Seeing the replays again, why did Verstappen get a penalty when Vettel & Bottas did the same and got away with it? I don't get it. #F1 #USGP

The line Kimi is aiming at would've meant they touched & crashed. Max avoided that. He already had the inside, no need to cut! #USGP #GoMax pic.twitter.com/ekC5SYH2fE
