Hammy's 50th win today. One short of Alain.

Alonso should have gotten a penalty but didn't.
Sad for those that retired. I think all three could have been in the points." Lady - I'm in an awful dilemma.
Moe - Yeah, I never cared much for these foreign cars either."

No I didn't mean that at all. By "win ugly", I meant grinding it out with dull, workmanlike 2nd or 3rd places instead of going all out to win every race. It doesn't matter if it isn't pretty, all that matters is it's effective.
Like playing the "route 1" long ball game in soccer. When Arsenal were winning lots of trophies in the 90s, they didn't give a hoot about opposing fans chanting "boring, boring Arsenal." I imagine Rosberg will be similarly unperturbed by accusations that he didn't deserve to win if he lifts the championship trophy.

I'm a little surprised Alonso didn't get penalised, we've seen penalties for less recently. I wonder if it would've been treated differently if someone like Verstappen or Kvyat had done the same thing.

Poor old Kimi, boned by Ferrari again. No-one else in the entire field thought it was a good idea to put on the supersoft tyres in the middle of the race. Seems like he got switched to a 3-stop strategy because he was in Vettel's way.

I wish they'd get rid of the tire rules an let them run the race without a pit stop if they wish. When I first started following Formula 1, pit stops were a rare thing.
This is my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking
