Was a laugh, now a farce. Watching it on delay and still only on lap 29.

There was some good racing when it was underway. Verstappen was outstanding.

I am no Verstappen fan but credit were credit is due, that was some truly magnificent driving there.

Still on replay with nine laps or time limited to go, but Verstappen is reminding me of Senna, I think he could have the most natural ability out there.

He is picking them off like flies despite having to make an extra stop.

He does have Extreme Wets on.

Front runners were all on the same extreme wets, although Verstappens were newer. His earlier save was epic :shock: :thumbsup

Was a perfect highlights programme. And the closing credits tune was a throwback to early 80s funk. Sweet.

if they had not called him in for inters, he would have finished 2nd.

Yes, it gave us a great spectacle to watch him come though the field, but they should have just left the inters alone.

The heavens are certainly aligning for Rosberg. That will make Lauda happy his desire for Rosberg to win this year has been very evident.

Nico was very lucky to get away with his half spin. Will need to wait and see if he wins the championship, but can't help but think that it will be a slightly hollow win as it's clear that Lewis is the better driver, just that Lewis seems to have had all the the team's bad luck this year.

Max was mega! What a talent! How many championships will he be winning in the future?

Apart from the red flags / safety cars, you have to love a wet race. Proves to be a real leveler of talent. I'm really not of a fan of meddling with the regulations, but would be happy to see sprinklers at a few tracks throughout the year. 8) :lol:

From the BBC, not they are biased of course: :)

But for now, Hamilton will doubtless be revelling in his superiority. Adding up the gaps he built over Rosberg in this staccato race that veered between tedium and extreme drama, it comes to 36 seconds in total. Or half a second a lap on average. His real advantage was possibly even bigger than that, at least if we are to judge by the 18.5-second lead he established in the 15 racing laps before the final safety car period.

That's hardly bias, he was simply in a class of his own, zero mistakes.

Yes max is good, but he still made mistakes.

Rosburg was luck, never really got challenged.
