Might as well give the championship to Rosberg now.

WOW, what the hell have Mercedes done to Hamiltons MGU-H!

 

These were the type of things happening at Mclaren that I think eventually made his mind up to leave.

Let's hope he doesn't do a Lewis and driver in during the race!

I didn't follow the session but if we base that session on times alone - Verstappen has done exactly what he needs to whilst Kyvat has done pretty much the opposite!

I am not into racing that much, used to like Funny Cars when I was younger, but Formula 1 has to be the best!

[MightyJordan]

What a start to the race.

It earns Hamilton the 'Reject of the Race' title, long before the race is over.

Nice driving Rosberg.

New favourite driver. Amazing. 

 

F1 is amazing actually when you have 2 teams very close to the top, loved how all 4 drivers of the leading teams could had won it at some point at the race. Here's hoping Rosberg and Hamilton take each other out for the rest of the season

I cannot believe it today. This is exactly what we want out of F1, this is racing.

What a race that was, Massive congrats to Max, what a way to stamp your name on the side of that Red Bull for good.

 

Unlucky for Ham and Ros, I'd agree with the Stewards decision, since Ros was on the wrong engine mode, which he would have known and been able to feel he shouldn't have moved so sharply as he know someone would be diving up the inside.

But Ham should have backed off a bit sooner when the door started to close.

I sort of agree, but after multiple replays it doesn't seem like there was much that Hamilton could do. I don't think anyone would have expected a driver to move a whole car's width to the right that quickly. Hamilton reacted quickly enough but it was just unlucky he went onto a surface that forced the back out.

Oh yeah, I think Rosberg is more at fault, just not total, maybe 60/40 or 70/30.

It reminded me of that battle in Bahrain where I think Rosberg also forced Hamilton off, luckily there it wasn't grass it was tarmac/concrete.
