This actually sounds really exciting to me. I totally agree that it's horrible for teams, and many suppliers no doubt after just introducing the new engines. Going totally against the cost saving and all that. That said, I think they also noticed that the changes made for last season are simply hurt...

Boring answer would be that shortly after two camps would be formed, It would be pretty easy for me to pick the main series to follow seeing what drivers are where, what teams, management and possible other changes would be set in stone. I also doubt that in the long run both could survive as a majo...

Martin tripping over himself to come up with the excuses for hamilton I wish I spoke another language just so I could see if all media is as biased as the English one. Probably yes, but it is nevertheless annoying to see the obvious "Lewis is the best" BS constantly spouted by the media. The Finnis...

Almost as good setup for tomorrows race as you could realistically hope for tomorrows race for somebody who is neutral on the 2 Merc boys. Williams looks close enough that they can punish if one of the Mercs makes a mistake or got some problem. Like Bottas kind alluded on the press conference, on ra...

I got a feeling Hamitons window to get past Rosberg has closed.

tissot

I can hardly believe Hamilton managed to melt 7 seconds distance. He drove harder than Nico, they are still tyre managing but LH isnt as such he is risking his right rear going You would almost think something like that was the case. They have seemed close on pace this week, with Rosberg looking ev...

Massa goes to wrong pitstop. Thankfully doesn't lose too much time.
Both Williams having one of those days. Though it does look like Massa can still make a great result.

Stupid fail on tires from pireli again made rubber the most important and only center of talk and attention thing...boring race. Whoever tries to push and be fast gets fried rubber... Like said many times, you can blame drivers. Pirelli wanted to bring harder tires, but drivers demanded softer. Mas...

Holy focks.

Bottas race went from great to absolutely horrible. So many weird mistakes.

Hamilton fan?
One of the most interesting races yet this season, because of the tires. Not that I naturally wanted every race to be like this, but this is amazing to watch at the moment.

tissot

They changed because it's a new track surface and feared another race like Russia where the tyres didn't degrade at all. What they weren't banking on were track temperatures well over 50 degrees Drivers demanded, not Pirelli though. Kimi's stop went horrible as well. Some drivers and pitcrews not d...

Drivers can only blame themself. Pirelli wanted to bring harder tires, but drivers demanded softer. Massa being among the most vocal.

What was that with Bottas?
Also, Button comes to pits for second time?
Also what the hell Hamilton?
..what's happening?

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Rat Boy Booooooooooooooooooo and...booooos again :)) He made his bed, now he can "lie" in it Nasty nico booed again haha Rosberg booed on the podium again.

Was Bottas's start the car or his fault? I don't know. I missed that too so not sure if I wasn't paying attention or Sky missed it too They didn't really say much about it or started guessing. I think for that we need to here answer today from Williams or Bottas. Dan and Bottas for me. Dan just kee...

Was a fun race to watch.
As a Finn too bad about that Bottas start, but at least we got a lots of overtakes from him. Also can't complain about Williams getting their max result in a normal race and Massa finally snatching podium place.

tissot

That was amazing race!

tissot

Holy hell. It's like 4 pages of nothing while there's actually race going on.

tissot

Nah, nothing.
If that happened second time, or Hamilton was just about overtaking, then penalty would be in place. Now Alonso raised his hands as he get back to race track and the difference was the same right away.

tissot

I just love Williams and I hope all the success for them. That in mind I would naturally rather see Bottas continuing on Williams, and then down the road if Williams doesn't achieve WDC contender, to jump to Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes. Of course Bottas also needs to keep his current level to deserv...

Alonso was just amazing. At the start when skills were highlighted rather than the car, he shined.
Ricciardo is naturally second one.

As a Finn it's nice to see Kimi getting some success and driving clean race for once this season.

I think F1 is one of the few sports where the more you learn about it, the more enjoyment you get from it. That's the case for every sport there is. One of the many reasons we tend to follow sports that are popular in our own country. People looking at football for the first time might think they j...

So many amazing drives today. Was a quality race of that. Bottas (with some Finn bias in the mix), Alonso (could as well give it to Ricciardo and Alonso) and Hamilton that did all he could. Hamilton's only miss was the miscommunication with Button, but then he also had to drive like a madman to get ...

The home crowd didn't exactly explode with delight at Rosberg's win. Strange, that. German driver in a German car. I wonder how many German's do favor him over other of their drivers? He is half Finn and son of Keke, even has he is certainly more towards Germany. I got a feeling the reaction would ...

What an amazing race. Didn't even have time to waste my time here when the race was going on.
So happy for Bottas and Williams.

I do think F1 moving to pay channels in many countries probably have had the largest impact in Europe. F1 used to be coffee table talk subject back in Häkkinen's time in Finland, but that changed after F1 went to pay channel. Same goes for Red Bull dominance now moving to Mercedes, that is even more...

Bottas already passing Vettel. Should be easy second today.

tissot

Seems like Bottas will be second today.

Hamilton is flying out there.

Really Ham? Hamilton really is not improving the situation with comments like that.
So childish.

That was my first thought as well. Vettel should have lucked out and win this one with both Mercs retiring.

Webber is Vettel's lucky talisman that he needs on 1km radius near the track to win.

This will be the first time Nico beats Hamilton in a straight fast. 1.9 seconds from the team's pit stops decided the outcome actually, particularly the first one, which resulted in Hamilton getting stuck behind Bottas for the whole second stint. Hamilton paid the price for his mistakes in Q3. But ...

Sponsors on their race suits? Maybe we will see them later.

Maybe not as exciting race as some positions made it look to be, but for WDC great result imo and race track was fantastic.

tissot

Yes! Congrats to Bottas for his first podium.

tissot

Could Rosberg actually win it? I didn't honestly at any point this season believe he could win WDC, and still believe Hamilton is slightly faster.

tissot

Alonso is actually catching up Massa. How that happened?
Still seems quite unlikely he could actually pass Massa, even with slightly newer tires.
