Lewis Hamilton must be pissed with Niki Lauda for two reasons - first, Lauda blamed Hamilton for the Mercedes collision and second, the Austrian called Verstappen the 'talent of the century.'
Verstappen's maiden race victory on his Red Bull debut gives us plenty to cheer about. We heard the Dutch national anthem on the F1 podium for the first time ever.
The 'Civil War' that broke out on track between the Mercedes drivers - who was to blame? We give you our view, but we wonder if the Lauda-Hamilton bromance has actually come to a premature end.

Christian Horner has labelled Verstappen as the 'future' of Red Bull - will they now chase the F1's 'youngest world champion' record? And where does this leave Ricciardo?
We find amusement in Fernando Alonso's lack of power, Kimi Raikkonen racing against both generations of Verstappens and Sebastian Vettel's cranky rants.
Also, is Red Bull Ferrari's Young drivers' program?
