    It's really 50/50, but I assume British tv will make it differently so.

    The thing is, Hamilton was leading the race so he can back up the pack as much as he wants when the safety car is preparing to go in. But he slammed on the brakes right out of a somewhat blind corner, and really didn't give Vettel a chance to avoid slamming the car's nose into the back of Hamilton. It's a really dickish move, and with a guy like Hamilton it's hard to know whether or not he was doing it deliberately, because he's the type of person to do that.

    On the other hand, Vettel was really close on Hamilton which caused him to get brakechecked in the first place. At the same time, he shouldn't have flown off the handle and smacked tyre-to-tyre with Hamilton in anger, which is a really dangerous move to do in any case and could have ended up disasterous if Hamilton had braked or sped up (Vettel smacking into Ham's sidepod instead of clanging the tyres, which would cause a massive pile up with the grid so bunched up.).

    Ultimately, I feel that Hamilton got off easy and should've gotten penalized. At the same time, Vettel deserves the punishment too. And karma being karma, Hamilton's head rest popping loose pretty much had the same effect as a penalty.

     

    Lewis Hamilton did not brakecheck Vettel nor did he decelerate or lift off the gas. Telemetry data that the stewards checked showed that he did nothing wrong and that he had done the exact same during the previous restart. Vettel was too keen to get on the gas to stop Perez getting the run on him like he did after the previous safety car. I think Vettel got off lightly for doing something so blatantly dangerous whilst the safety car was out on track.

    I always thought Victarion was just being used more as a device to get the Dragonbinder to Dany. He'll probably die foolishly like Quentyn; he'll blow the horn in an attempt to tame a dragon and end up dying much like Cragorn (the one who blew it at the Kingsmoot) did. Dany will then have possession of the horn and be able to use it to fully tame Drogon and her other dragons.

    He was in the first two trailers. In the first one he was shown, albeit in a long shot facing down a lancer outside Meeren in what I guess, well am sure, is him taking Strong Belwas' place in how those events unfold.

    The same scene is then in the second and shows a brief (probably a second or less) close up of him throwing something.
