That was the word used time and again, after a controversial incident in which Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel had fallen out, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas had driven back-to-front races to first and second places respectively, and new boy Lance Stroll had finished third, thus becoming F1’s youngest-ever podium star.
