(SPOILER) That is the best "dry" track racing I've seen all year. Great track. All the BS about the rumble strips was no issue. Great win for LH. Qualifying was great and exciting and the race was as well. Well done Button... even if only 6th.

I agree. Rosberg preferred to have neither of the silver cars win than for Hamilton to beat him. He clearly tried to block Hamilton's pass on the last lap and pushed him off the turn - to his own peril.

It was a very exciting race. All the way through the field.

FWIIW: Rosberg lost points with me as a fan. Although I am still hoping that he wins the Championship this year. With that stated: I have to state that I am impressed with how much Hamilton has "matured" over the last five years. I guess that he would have well served if he had Verstapen's Father coach him while he was coming up IMO.

When I saw Rosberg run Hamilton off course on that turn (on purpose, I don't care what the team says about bad brakes) and then have his car start to fall apart, I started YELLING at the TV "That's what you get!!"

Versteppen may well be the next legend in the making in formula one.

Rosberg probably needs to move on after this season, championship or not. He put his ambitions above the owner's and the team's best interests.

Finally got to watch the race.
I tried to aviod the news but got a teaser about Mercedes possibly enforcing team rules, so I knew it was coming.
I was glad Lewis won as I think Nico has caused the last two crashes.
Along that line it wouldn't have broken my heart if Nico didn't finish.

I wonder this as well. Lots of young guys coming up making the next wave of F1 "stars" pretty interesting. Stoffel Vandoorne is the one that intrigues me. His one fill in for Alonso showed some really impressive driving. The other one that I'm curious to see is Pascal Wehrlein. He has shown very well.

The one that I'm miffed by is Hulkenberg. After the LeMans victory last year, he's tapered off and isn't in any of the "silly season" talk
