Poll: Brazilian Grand Prix 2016, São Paulo - Race 20/21

[holdin09]

Both Max and Lewis were faultless for me and I'd say Max gave the better performance, racing the way it should be.

Lewis didn't have to perform though so who knows how quick he could have went

Great chat between the drivers. Hamilton knows he has done all he can do. Doesn't seem bothered.

Yep, race wins:

9-9 Hamilton / Rosberg

Quali:

11-8

It got an 8 from me, despite the red flags and trundling around behind the safety car for so long, the racing that there was, was brilliant, Lewis drove a masterful race, but by Christ the balls on young max!!! I've lost a lot of respect for him in the last half of the season, but credit is due where credit is due, that was truly spectacular driver out there today.

9 each isn't it, and 1 each for the RB drivers.

That's true, I forgot about this result.

Time for a quick edit.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Nice conversation between the 3 of them Even Lewis was surprised at Max's race haha!

52 wins only behind MS noe, but miles behind MS

Verstappen could be the only one to get near that given a decent dominant car.

Is that the chattiest pre-podium room between LH and NR this season ?

What have you spent the last 3 hours doing

Actually, don't answer that

Easily

Exactly, the only time Hamilton needed to speed up was when Max was behind him and he managed the pace just fine until Max almost crashed.

Rosberg was lucky they messed up the strategy.

Yep, I'm expecting good things from RBR next year, as cars will be even more aero, and engines should close a little more.

That's it then, Rosberg is the 2016 champ. Game over.

He'd have to get a DNF or get a maximum of 4th place at Abu Dhabi, and either of those things happening is very unlikely.

[lunarwolf]

I think someone has pointed out the bigger picture to Lewis.

He's chasing Schumacher now, and I think he will pass him as he has an objective to keep him focused, god knows what inspired Schumacher to keep going!

Yup, basically this.

I don't know if we'll ever see another era like that where one team designates a number one driver and a number two driver contracted to do nothing but help the number one driver to win.

Schumy didn't just have a dominant car, he also had the whole team (including the other driver) working to help him win.
