Rosberg looking good for this surprise win if he can get to the end..... drama
Hamilton will not be a happy bunny right now. :\\ :p
Where is Baggy, Taz and co today.
so another slow pit stop for hamilton....pathetic
Wow 2 stops and Hamilton has been shafted by his strategy.... interesting stuff
Hamilton will punch someone after this race :D
Waaaaaaaaaaaaa, why is he on softer tyres than me?
For all their ability of building a fast car, it's surprising that Mercedes can't get their drivers to switch positions correctly.
and on a slower tyre :\\Quote:

The lap times are much higher than I expected. I would have thought they'd be lapping in the low 1.08s. Maybe that's because of the low temperatures?
It is looking like a staged win at the mo, boo Mercedes.
Hulkenberg starts 2nd running 17th +1 Lap..... what a pathetic effort all round.
Not a good day for the HulkQuote:

Wehrlein in P11 - it would be fantastic for him to get a point!
I think Hamilton's got this in the bag.
This is interesting. Ham in DRS zone with 2 laps to go
If Mercedes were staging anything, it was a Hamilton win. They broke their usual rule of pitting the leading driver first, to give him the opportunity to undercut Rosberg. Bad luck with the slowish stop plus Hamilton's mistake on the out lap meant it didn't come off.Quote:

Hamilton supreme!! What a finish!!
WTF was that. Rosberg fucked Hamilton. What a load of shit.
Could Lewis' overtake or the crash between Nico and him have taken place under yellow flags? It looked like the Force India was a few corners after that corner, but I'm not sure.
That last lap wow.
Hamilton passes Rosberg, Rosberg hits Hamilton, Rosberg then loses front wing, Hamilton then passes Rosberg under yellows of Perez crash, Rosberg then passed by Verstappen & Raikkonen, Werhelin scores a point & If Hamilton gets in trouble for passing under yellows then Verstappen wins
who knows, but it was crazy fantastic action.
what a finish
About 3 cars, Lewis & two backmarkers passed an ailing Rosberg into a corner with yellows. How will that end?
Rosberg will be in the bosses office after that one lol.
I'm not convinced that the corner where Lewis and Nico touched was under yellows, are you sure about that? If that's the case, Lewis is almost certainly getting a penalty. Verstappen and Räikkönen shouldn't be getting one, though, because Nico had an obvious problem, so it was legitimate for them to pass him.Quote:

Where is our resident imbecile DJ telling us Hamilton is to blame for this collision?
I'm sure Bagwan and DJ will see something absolutely nobody else has lol. Expect the discussion :pQuote:

He is trying to figure out how Vettel was the best driver in history today too. That takes time:pQuote:

FLIPPIN 'ECK what 'appened there then?
Rosberg and Hamilton collide? Is Bagwan going to start a thread blaming Hamilton or shall I open it first? Lol
And Wehrlein is 10th?!!
This comment was also on the bbc site.
"Adeel Ejaz: Absolute disgrace by Mercedes both pits for Lewis Hamilton messed up and nailed both for Rosberg!"
Fair enough then. :)Quote:
