Looking good for Hamilton. His overtake on Rosberg had them both thinking back to Spa I would guess

Starting to see the true racers who can win without coaching from the pit wall.

True racers? I don't recall Alonso, Ricciardo or Vettel winning?

I can't stand Hamilton, so nothing he does is going to impress me - very disappointed in Rosberg since he could have wiped Hamilton out as he forced his way through on the inside!

You didn't see them in a silver arrow either. I'm not a Hamilton fan boy. I don't particularly like Rosberg. But I'd rather Rosberg win over Hamilton. Listen to Rosberg's after race commentary. He couldn't get into a "rhythm". IE... couldn't get my race engineers to tell me what Hamilton was doing.

That's a bit unfair. For the first part of the race Rosberg had the measure of Hamilton, and was pulling away if anything. Then after the pitstop for some reason it changed and Hamilton seemed to be able to catch and pass his teammate quite easily.

I thought Hamilton would walk this one, but after Saturday it looked like Rosberg had gained the upper hand and maybe it was all going to turn around again for the last few races. But no. The only way Rosberg is going to win now is if Hamilton has a mechanical failure, as Hamilton now can afford to be second for the final two races and still take the championship.

did anyone count how many times Coulthard said 'wheel to wheel racing' and 'slap in the face' on the BBC commentary?

I ran out of our fingers and toes and stopped counting in the end...

It's getting a little embarassing for Nico now... he can only win when Hamilton breaks down. 2 races to go... I wander how much Ernie might throw Mercedes for someone to leave a spark plug out of Hamiltons car in Brazil for that all important final race shoot out

Of course, if Hamilton takes 2nd at Brazil, he can pretty much coast around the final race with it in the bag as they are so far ahead of the rest...
