29 or 31?

 

Good job he's not behind by my age!

No "it's my age" not that's my age.

 

DNFs are the way to go, 1 more from Nico and they will be all square with Lewis well ahead.

I'll not try to work the points out this time ha ha.

He would have beaten Rosberg anyway but it obviously works out better for him this way in the points....Like i have said earlier DNF's will depend who wins. Felt sorry for Massa as i think he was within a shout of a podium.

 

P.S....If you remember Lewis had a gear box issue DNF earlier in the season.

[Steve Walker]

Lucky that Rosberg had the failure this time, but what goes around, comes around. The championship is now close enough again that, DNFs not withstanding, they can trade first and second places without the lead getting too big.

I was annoyed with Hamilton in P3. He made sure he got out before Rosberg, and I felt that he was just trying to get his own back by slowing him down. I don't think he ever intended to finish the lap, so aborted. The look on his face to see that he had not only lost pole, but slipped to sixth, was, to me, the look of a man that had seen his plan backfire.

It all worked out for him in the end though, and he drove like a demon to overtake and catch up.

I felt sorry for Massa, and marveled at his reactions to avoid a head on crash with Kimi, which could have been very serious.

Those sort of dirty tactics will happen until the end of the season as there is not a rivalry in the world that all the dirty tricks will be played out. Watch a boxing match and slow it down and you will see it constantly with elbows head butts etc. It will happen a few times before the end of the F1 season. It well maybe down to double points at the last GP

 

Alonso to me is the best driver on the track and has been for years, what he squeezes out of that Ferrari is incredible and the moves to stop Vettel were perfect on older tyres in that race but he just ends up in teams that suddenly drop off but really bad move to Ferrari

 

Mercedes.cars are so good because they are really on the limiter of perfection which can easily blow a seal or melt something. A gearbox issue is what may seperate the winner from the loser.

 

Hamiltons pit crew are bloody useless though they are slower than the minor teams so i am not sure what's going on there?

[Steve Walker]

Mercedes said that with their speed advantage they didn't want to rush pit stops and risk errors - but Rosberg's pit stops are consistently faster...

 

More proof that the FIA are morons;

Is the hand of the poison dwarf visible in this?

[Colin Brett]

Great drive by Lewis today. A few close calls but no doubt he's THE RACER of the present drivers.

[Dave H]

He really has been unlucky. If you take his 3 DNF to Rosbergs 1 he would be infront . That's all it will come down to. I only hope that Williams can get inbetween and make it that one of them is the best driver because the World champion may or may not be the best of the season. Sometimes i wish they could all put them in the same cars but that's impossible. Alonso should have won more championships by now but wrong place right time or visa versa which is the case its pure luck. Schumacher was the best as Ferrari had dominence and Vettel did when Red bull did.

[Steve Walker]

Vettel also had the advantage of a slower teammate. Not sure he'd have done so well with Ricciardo instead of Webber.
