Good read, I guess I am hard on the guy.

Mexico practise was good lol. Nice giving off about him bumping him at 1 last race still.

You would think he's putting forward a case for points deduction lol.

Yes Hamilton, amazing on the track, **** off it. Sigh. I really wish it wasn't him in that merc.

 

[Wild Thing]

God F1 is in a sorry state, better to not even try to change an engine or take a 50 place grid penalty. I despair

As Bernie said: "Hamilton is a great F1 champion" in terms of promoting the sport around the world via social media, showbiz or whatever.

Like it or not…he's right.

But to my mind F1 shouldn't really need a lot of promoting. If the racing/competition was better it would promote itself, but it's not so it needs people like Hamilton to do it.

 

[lackingBHP]

Hamilton isn't promoting f1 he is promoting Lewis Hamilton Ltd.

Those Mexican gp put girls are amazing.

They need a four hour show all about them.

Dark hair, dark skin, natural curves.

I think my Kerrs is kicking in....

Well now that was super exciting

To me it looked like Lewis wasn't trying. I wonder did he throw nico a bone to get him 2nd in the championship.

Exactually what I told the mate, where was Nicos pace all season.

 

[pablo]

The giveaway was that nico didn't choke when Lewis was gaining on him

Yea thats what I said to the wife, Lewis seemed to speed up then slow down again when he got too close.

 

[svensktoppen]

In fairness Nico did a decent job this time, but yes, hard not to think Merc wanted to secure that second spot in the c-ship. The second tyre stop kind of gave it away...

Vettel in the barrier, that is a rare sight!

And Bottas punting off Kimi, Karma, lol

Other than that - lovely track, boooooooring "race"...

 

[pablo]

Vettel really looked like he was struggling in the car. Defo something up.

Was fancying him for 2nd place too. Think he earned it.

 

[Rover Repair]

I think Lewis really understands Nico frustration and whilst he didn't throw him the race I do think he did his best to ensure either a 1 / 2 victory.

He wasn't to happy about coming in for tyres and withh that safety car maybe he could have done them to the end but then you would have really saw Nico pull away with better set.

Looked like a great track, atmosphere and build up online was great, sadly the lack of competitors ruined it.

But who can compete with the mighty Mercedes now days. Reminds me of the days when your gran could have jumped into a Williams and won a f1 race.

Need more variations to create more chances, eg multiple tyre manufacturers and locked into one brand for 3 races, or drs enabled for any cars instantly more than 2 seconds slower than last lap etc.

I know everyone complained about when Schumacher dominated with Ferrari (and in my eyes those where the best times in my memory likely as watched more races then) but it's the same thing.

Honda need to get their ass in gear and sort this engine, Ferrari need to get these twitchy cars sorted out. Vettle there's no way that was anything other than mechanical issues and Alonso going out the ways they did really bugged me.

1 lap, jesus he must have been raging.

 

[Gambit]

The podium and atmosphere at the end was breathtaking imo - some amazing pictures floating about today of it

Definitely not the usual vettel performance

 

[Crow555]

The ****ing podium hats are starting to get on my wick.

 

[Jonny F]

Last year Mercedes reliability decided the championship, this year Nico was fairly beaten time and time again by Hamilton so he deserved to come out on top.

Really enjoyed that race, was great seeing Mclaren competing in the mid field, even if that was just because of the weather.

I thought that Hamilton had more reliability problems last year.

 

[mrloaf]

I thought that Hamilton had more reliability problems last year.

They traded reliability throughout the year but the last 2 races where it mattered Singapore and Abu Dhabi Rosberg suffered zero points finishes due to failures, just as the championship was head to head - hamilton didn't and maximised points.

Not such a factor this year however, although I feel if Rosberg can finish strong this year and stop letting hamilton unsettle him next year could be a lot closer.
