Cut the bashing, guys. There are cases for both drivers deserving or not deserving the title this year. Some will say Lewis should have ignored the orders, some will say he shouldn't. Some might cite Monaco where the orders were reversed, probably both sides will use elements of that. Fair enough, ...

Hamilton fans and those who like to see the driver who has clearly been better to win. I say clearly, because when two drivers from different teams contest a title its impossible to know who was really better. Its only when its team mates you can tell and its quite rare. The weaker team mate hasn't...

The commentators on NBC kept saying that in the wet there's more grip off line because the rubber laid down when the track was dry is more slippery than the bare asphalt and that Max's seemingly erratic driving during the safety car periods was him finding the areas where that was the case. How tru...

If Lewis left McLaren because they kept messing things up for him, it's somewhat bizarre that he chose Mercedes when they messed things up even worse for Schumacher that year. I imagine £££ were a big part of the reason Lewis left for Mercedes! Not sure where this line of discussion is heading, but...

I'd give honourable mentions to the following: England’s historic rugby union defeat of the Wallabies, in Australia. Up to this juncture, England had never enjoyed a whitewash over the Australians. It was England's biggest ever points total against the Wallabies and earned them the first 3-0 series ...

Anyone have any theories as to what has happened to Rosberg in the wet this year? Monaco, he really struggled to get proper temperature in the tyres and he seemed to lack confidence in his own abilities. There was vague talk of set-up and car issues, but nothing definitive. Perhaps he just had an e...

He's obviously not as competent in the wet as Hamilton, but i do recall Rosberg showing some decent wet weather skills in GB last year.

Regarding the double yellow flag incident, Hamilton was on course for pole position until yet again he was unable to compete but yet again we will take that as Rosberg beating Hamilton fair and square whilst also abusing safety standards. There will always be convoluted arguments surrounding China,...

Typical brittish tread. We others just don't care jack sh*t what you people call "deserved". Half of Schumacher titles you guys called not deserved. Now it is Hamilton this and Hamilton that.

I can’t vote, but I prefer Clinton. She at least possesses the tact, diplomacy & control that Trump so spectacularly lacks. Hilary is better prepared in terms of detailed, coherent policies too. As for Trump, I find it difficult to reconcile how a man who espouses sexist/racist/insulting views can b...

It's interesting how when Webber continually fluffed his starts at Red Bull he was pilloried for being a terrible driver, yet now it has to be the car. I think this demonstrates how even the best drivers - and I'd certainly include Lewis in that category - can get tripped up by something. The Merce...

There are 8 Mercs on the grid, but this does not in anyway mean they all are being pushed the same. Aero differences will make significant differences to how the engine runs. This is cooling of course, but also the fact that the Merc factory team has the fastest car, it is likely that they get on t...

He should have been excluded from the results so that we wouldn't have to read the Hamiltonatics cry about Hamilton's WDC robbing bad luck and the Undeserving Nico. ;) Much as Nico never misses an opportunity to chuck his car into a gap that was never really there, you never seem to miss one to att...

Well given that Lewis' 2008 championship was very lucky (see what happened to Massa at Hungary and Singapore), I have no complaints. Of course you have no complaints. You know Rosberg is not good enough to win a championship in a straight fight as has been proven the last 2 years, and you are despe...

Gutted for Hamilton, but he never give up. He will come back stronger, as usual. He will be the true champion of 2016 either way it goes. Nah, Ricciardo has been the best driver this year. He was the best driver in 2014 as well. Kubica was the best driver in 2008, and Vettel was the best driver in ...

It seems highly lopsided but there have been strange years like that. In 2011, for example, it seemed Webber had a lot of mechanical problems while Vettel got off scott free. The difference is that this year it's not just the races but also practice and qualifying where all of the engine failures h...

The customer teams are essentially all running their engines at less aggressive settings to prolong the living of parts as every extra part costs them and the return on investment simply isn't there for them. Only Mercedes can run super aggressive tunes at no costs so there is only the two cars to ...

Hamilton was pulling away 0.7 a lap whilst they fought - he had just got into the window that very lap he blew up. One wonders just how hard Hamilton was pushing and what engine mode he had deployed. Did he contribute to the failure? Chris Amon was generally regarded as the unluckiest driver ever i...

Blimey! That was one hell of a rant! Why don’t you channel such fervour & energy into contacting your local broadcaster to get something done about it?

If you go into an F1 broadcast expecting the commentators to tell you much of real value, then you're fooling yourself. Martin Brundle has the experience and some of the technical know-how, but he's showing his age a bit I think. Not that he's too old to be a commentator, not at all, just that I've...

The British media and (more so) social media can be intolerable when it comes to Hamilton. Hamilton I do feel likes to play it up as well.

Luck and reliability hasn't been anywhere near as much of a factor as some people on here claim. Hamilton: - lost 3 points in Bahrain (Bottas) - lost 12 points in China and a net 14 points in Russia.
