Awesome. Why couldn't he of just said something like 'Jenson is a great driver with lots of experience so if I was in a position of being able to chose my team mate, I would obviously have to consider Jenson, if he was available.'

Job done.

To be honest, I don't think Jenson cares now if he is or isn't on the F1 grid next year. McLaren are treating him appallingly.

So more errors from Lewis and Rosberg cooly takes pole.

Somehow I really think Rosberg is going to do this!

Lewis really needs to be leading this race, not playing catchup. If he has trouble with back markers he can defend from Rosberg if he's in front, he can't do anything but try and keep up if he's running 2nd or worse.

The only consolation is that Rosberg is more usually the one to make mistakes in the race.

"The FIA said the front wings on the cars of both Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel were too flexible."
A word missing from that statement - "again"!

It would have to be a pretty spectacular mistake from Hamilton but I certainly wouldn't rule it out.

Hard luck on Nico.

There's more than just two Mercedes cars racing round. If you choose to just pay attention to the mercs then thats your loss.

After the season we've had (ie a good one) I'm more than happy to see Hamilton just take it home. There's no chance of a wheel to wheel race between the two title contenders to determine the championship, in that case Hamilton would win. (Unless they were fighting for 5th and 6th)

So how do all those "Hamilton fans" (f1_fan ) feel about their negative approach to Hamiltons chances now?

Nico is driving a good race in spite of a failing car. Not much he can do really apart from hang on like grim death.

Hamilton has proved himself to be of world championship quality on more than one occasion and certainly before ever getting in a Merc, not just a fast car out front.

I'm dancing inside.

*woop woop*

Many, many congrats, Lewish.

Fair play to Nico; gracious in defeat in the pen.

The championship went to this year's best driver, as it should.
Well done Hammy
