    Total bore fest.

    Hamilton started well and won with as little effort as possible and Rosberg never challenged.

    I too thought there was little in the way of outstanding performances. I will vote for Fred. Alonso was very good today.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    Räikkönen for sure. Solid drive and strategy by Ferrari, even though he couldn't get by Max the Swerve.

    A lot of solid drives today really, and it's hard for me to pick a driver of the race. Sure the race could have been more exciting, but tracks without many passing opportunities often create races like this. And more than a few good moves regardless, and some solid defending.

    I'm still on the fence about that first move by Max that ended up damaging Kimi's wing, but for the most part he showed he won't crack under pressure and knows how to make the car wide without pushing the rule too far.

    Why? For a remarkable display of calm.

    I think that he should have just sworn a streak across the sky. Being given a penalty when quite obviously the car had a problem and was demonstrably unsafe, is utterly ludicrous.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    If everyone on the track start to drive like that, there would regular crashes on race weekends. Waiting to defend at the last moment after the attacking driver has made a move is asking for someone to crash into him. The Raikonnen crash into Verstapenn was completely unavoidable. In certain circumstances, it could have been much worst. And there was the double change of directions, which is simply not how it is done. I don't think that is great defending or driving. It is not much different to Rosberg's defensive move at Spain that caused the Mercedes wipe out.

    The rule of thumb has always been one move is defending your position and two moves is blocking. That is the way it should be enforced. I saw two moves.

    It was at the very edge of being allowable , but the first move was deemed a defensive move , and the second , his move to take his line , which , while fully ahead , was his right .

    Kimi misjudged it .

    Once you have made the first move you don't get a second.

    It appears in the video that Kimi actually got caught out by Max's deceleration into the corner!
    May the forza be with you
