Great win. Lewis has really matured as a driver. Many were gobsmacked when he left Mclaren but look at where they are now. Its always said that a top driver is in the right team at the right time. Alonso keeps getting it wrong.

Rosberg showed his true colours yet again. No amount of press and PR training can stop the truth coming out.

When Lewis first moved to Mercedes I bought into popular opinion that the team were more on Nicos side but its the opposite. Lauda doesnt make any bones about whose corner he is in - think that comes from respect for the better driver & racer.

On BBC Gossip section today: "Mercedes may be playing down the dispute between their drivers but Nico Rosberg still wants clarity from Lewis Hamilton on their first corner scrap at the US Grand Prix."

Rosberg really gets on my nerves - whining little bit#h. Get over it and drive better/faster. He was hung out to dry on the outside of a corner on a wet track. When has he ever done Lewis any favours?

I see the Beeb have just pulled out three years early

Didnt top gear make 150mill a year for the bbc?

tbh i was expecting them to pull out when the current contract ended. I don't know why they hit F1 when the viewing figures were better than the tennis and golf combined.

Channel 4

I;ve just switched to sky so can see all the races live on sky f1 now anyway

It will be interesting what Channel 4 with do with the coverage, I can't see Sky having it much longer if we have another season like 2015.

It makes me laugh when the BBC bangs on about cost cutting. If perhaps they go in the digital age and allowed people outside of the UK to purchase a subscription to access iPlayer content then I'm sure they'd make a fair bit of extra cash.

I think it goes to show how much F1 costs the BBC, and also how much they don't give a damn about retaining it. Sad really.

I wonder just how many other sports there are where you could cut away for 5 minutes of adverts only to come back and find nothing much has changed? It would be impossible in MotoGP, and wouldn't work too well even in cricket.

It illustrates the processional nature of F1. I admire the great skills of the drivers, especially at circuits like Monaco, but for the most part no actual racing is involved. I watch it on BBC because it's free, but I won't pay for it.
