The fall-out from another crazy Azerbaijan Grand Prix continues to cause consternation. And after all of the Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo talk, we have another, more familiar, blame game to play between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel... It's lights out for Tuesday morning!

MUST READ

If you thought the Red Bulls were petty, you haven't seen anything yet!

Hamilton, of course, won in Baku, but his post-race sulk because he wasn't actually the best even extended into a moan at Vettel.

The rivals' behaviou under the safety car last year - you know, Seb banging wheels on purpose and all that - was far from exemplary, but Hamilton thinks the German might have repeated the trick this year...

Baku once again treated us to a crazy race, but can you believe Liberty Media are considering sitching it next year?!

The message from GP Fans is clear. Keep Baku and keep the madness!

Elsewhere, Niki Lauda took one look at the Verstappen-Ricciardo pot and immediately reached for the biggest spoon he could find, beer glasses, mugs and anything F1 can flog with 'shoey' on it will soon be available to buy and Red Bull have taken the first step to ruining all hopes of winning a race in 2019 agreeing an engine deal with Honda.
