Maldonado leaving the pits with the wheel gun still attached was good for LULZ.

If it's hard to go to the end for Alonso with his tires, it will be MUCH harder for Vettel

Same for ricciardo

The red bulls are simply ensuring both podiums places.

Even when there is a good hope to finish second, bad luck has to fuck everything up

Yet another great run for Hamilton.  He has made some really great drives this year.  He deserves this championship for sure.



Good showing from RBR.  It was good to see Vettel perform well today.

Yep, if he wins he will have earned this one. Although the ball gargling by the commentators is really beyond old.



Sort of amazing how everyone is starting to catch up to Merc. The double points in the last race is becoming more and more important looks like. Singapore is always kind of an aberration but everyone seems to be rapidly improving. These last few races are going to be very wild.

I`m wondering how long before they get tired of these "POWER UNITS" and go back to a real engine. They made Formula E and that`s where they belong. I also don`t understand why only the trailing cars cars can open the DRS when within the 1 second space, but the car they are trying to pass can`t open theirs

DRS is made to assist faster cars trying to pass slower cars because people got tired of seeing cars get stuck behind cars that were 2-3 seconds a lap slower. If it were active on the slower car it would defeat the purpose.

According to some RBR played that game to keep Alonso behind Riciarrdo.  Because Ric was close to Vettel he was able to deploy DRS but he was really using it defensively to hold off Alonso.

Totally within the rules and just shows how Ferrari blew their strategy call.

I called it during the race,

Ferrari didn't blew it this time, but got screwed by the safety car. Alonso had done the undercut on Vettel and was going to end 2nd without the safety car.

I'm not a big Hamilton fan, but that was a hell of a drive, and absolutely dead-perfect pit strategy by Mercedes after the extended safety car.

Hamilton built up just the gap he needed, and went into to change tires on the exact lap his worn super softs were costing him time.  And then blew Seb's doors off when he came came back out.
