except Hmailton, natch
Is it cos he is blik 😉
Top job by Jenson, Hamilton actually drove pretty well to end up with 4th place after those cock ups. Shame Vettel couldn't have finished a bit further down for the sake of the championship.
DiResta had a good drive too.
Harsh penalty - Di resta would have had to go onto the grass if Lewis had sat still.
Fair play to Lewis, definitely trying not to come across as a knobber in interviews these days!
Penalty was justified imo. A stationary car gives the approaching driver the ability to choose where to go, a moving target does not
Great response by Hamilton and he deserved better from the race. Good result anyway and well done Mclaren
Hey stoner where were you last week? Don't tell me, you were probably headbutting the wall in dispair as he won the race!
Hamilton sounded very diplomatic after the race, but unconvincing about the radios and who made the call.
For me Hamilton will go down in history with the likes of Villeneuve (Gilles!) - able to get a car that isn't performing into places where it shouldn't be. Exiting, dangerous at times and you never quite know what is going to happen.
And to me Vettel is more of a Prost - fantastic when everything falls into place. But rather dull to watch on the track, and unable to hustle a car that isn't perfect. He'll probably win way, way more titles and races than Hamilton though - but I know who I'd pay to watch.
Hamilton's penalty was fair IMO. He was facing the oncoming traffic when he booted it round and had he stayed put, Di Resta would have had plenty of space on the tarmac.
Amazed they didn't bring the SC out for the Holy Renault of Antioch and its debris. And then towing it up the pit lane exit with Vettel on his way out?
The race does make you reflect on how much of the close (as in wheel-to-wheel) racing in F1 - and I'm talking about the whole 30 years I've been watching it - has been between whichever two drivers were in McLarens.
Wasn't the filming/editing shit though? Kept missing overtakes at the front then spent an age following that battle for p. 10. Useless.
I am glad that Lewis don't get on with his dad so well these days cos we don't have to see the bloke's shiny face all the bloody time.
I mean, you can't trust a bloke with such a shiny face really, can you? How can his face be that shiny in the first place? My face has never bin that shiny except for that time when I accidentally covered it with bathroom silicone sealant and waterproofed my head.
Don't really need a waterproof head to be honest though. It was a complete and utter waste of time.
If Hamilton had spun the other way it wouldn't have been so bad. But when a car spins towards you you give it extra room like Di Resta had to do (unlike the 2 before him who could stay on the track).
I thought Hamiltons "I didn't see him" was very lame and typical of todays too quick to say sorry and not mean it culture. Stark contrast to the days of Prost and Senna when a driver would not try to hide his single-mindedness. Makes my skin crawl when he does the whole thanking the team thing when he wins a race. Smarmy git. Good win Button 🙂
Ham can't win, can he? He spun the car nicely, but DiResta made a huge show of going on the grass to avoid him, despite being 15ft away. Button was on the other side, about 6" away, with no drama.
That's why he's a winner, I suppose.
Makes my skin crawl when he does the whole thanking the team thing...
Yeah, none of the others do that, do they?
Watch the AMA Supercross and then talk to me about the thanking after.
Yeah i'm just super stoked to put my Makita Suzuki back up here on the box, just wanna give a shout out to Thor, parts unlimited, my mechanic, everyone at the team, monster energy, my girlfriend, the guys who drive the rigs to the races and above all, this one was for the good lord Jesus Christ, man he's got some power.
Just watching it now. What's going on with that vomiting dog picture behind the podium - it's got six legs FFS.

What is the significance of the "six-legged dog" in the Eni symbol?
The official interpretation, given by the Eni Press Office in the 50s, is that the six legs of this imaginary animal was the sum of a car's four wheels and the two legs of its driver. A kind of modern centaur and an assurance that this mode of transport would reach its best performance through a symbiosis between man and machine.
I see. Thankyou.
