Sigh.

Well done Lewis - a proper race.
Well yeah. When GP2 is more of a spectacle than F1, do you not figure there's something wrong?

Was certainly eventful. Lewis lucked out with that result. First collision he should have yielded - 2nd was a lock up you could clearly see him steering away from Danny Ric so was unlucky to get the penalty. Unlike Maldonado who never changed steering angle.

Rosberg blaming DR but I agree with Brundle - he tried to shut him out and backfired. DR was already on the rumble strip so had nowhere else to go.

Fantastic win for Ferrari and Seb. I had forgotten how much I love Ferrari until I was screaming at the tv when they had a a 1-2 but turn 3.

Bloody brilliant race.

Great race
Nico does have a point! Lewis could have put far more lock on but that's racing!
Thought the cap chucking incident was brilliant

Its great to see the proper marques doing well. What a race for Lewis to clinch the title, it definitely seemed to be a race of those that have, and those that don't in terms of having the skill to deal with challenging conditions.

To be fair the first corner 'incident' didn't lose him the race, the last safety care didnt help but him choking under the pressure yet again is what really did it. Monza 2014 anyone?

After his episode of hat-tossing petulance, and the public display of sour faced refusal to join in the podium champagne swilling, Rosberg will have to watch how he behaves on track. Any overtly agressive moves towards Lewis will only serve to enforce his 'brat' image that has appeared since the Monaco incident last year.
He will only enhance his image by beating Lewis fair and square on a regular basis.
And I can't see that happening any time soon

You can't really argue with the outcome. Rosberg has had equal access to (in your words) the best machine for two years, and might not even finish 2nd best to Hamilton. So that would seem to cast doubt on the machine being the overwhelming influence your comment would appear to indicate.
Each to their own though.

Give over, that Mercedes is the fastest car on the grid by a country mile. The only person who realistically a chance was Rosberg.

Did you watch the race? The fezza in Vettel's hands was catching the mercs easily at one point

Great last race the best GP I've seen in a while and well Lewis Hamilton flying the flag! The Germans faces at at the end were priceless.
