I'm not sure why Rosberg gets so excited about winning these last races, they're a bit meaningless at this stage surely?

Yeah i cant imagine why anyone would be excited about being a formula 1 driver and winning races. Boggles the mind.

She's quite tasty, probably +3 points for being in engineering/science job.

Now we have to suffer dc on stage, wasn't EJ earlier in the year enough for BBC.

Kimi's enthusiasm on the podium is amazing.

matched only by coulthards.

I don't like how well trained they have ham now. Their PR training has really worked this year.

The radio transcripts will reveal if they did.

The radio messages from Mercedes were not very helpful, very much wanted him to use the primes and made that very clear to the point of probably making him doubt the decision to use the options.

I think they said "looking good" after his pit which was a complete lie.

It doesn't really matter, it just robs us of a battle for first which is something Mercedes don't want and the fans are desperate for.

When was the last time alonso lost on points to a team mate over a season?

Irish_Tom · 29 Nov 2015 at 15:03

At least the tennis was good.

Oh Jesus. Really?!

All the points McLaren have scored this year have been out of luck alone. Trying to turn this into another Button love in makes you look incredibly desperate.

It has been quite a shame to see Mercedes so keen to want Rosberg to win since the championship has been over.

Ah yeah. Kind of like winning a football match in the losers bracket where no one really cares.

We got another 3 months of it

RB got to pay $30 mil a year for engines...

Despite the strategy fiasco today, the fact is it wouldn't even be an issue if Lewis had taken pole yesterday.

For one reason or another, Nico has been dominant in quali for the last six races and by a huge margin yesterday.

I hope Lewis gets his one-lap mojo back for next season.

GodAtum · 29 Nov 2015 at 16:21

As Niko was saying, the BBC have the best sports coverage in the UK, and i hope they continue to show live races.
The female Merc engineer had a wet tshirt on the podium lol.

I actually hope he doesn't, if its another Merc domination out might be there only hope of keeping the title race alive!

Fingers crossed there'll be more competition at the front next season though.

Terminal_Boy · 29 Nov 2015 at 16:28

I do hope at least one other team can challenge Mercedes next year as Toto getting to decide which of his drivers win every race weekend has gotten very boring.

Merlin5 · 29 Nov 2015 at 16:29

I have to say, the coverage on the BBC F1 shows is brilliant. Say what you like about Coulthard and Jordan but they're excellent pundits. I'm particularly impressed with Coulthard, he really knows his stuff and always speaks very well and very clearly to camera. Whether anyone agrees with what Eddy says or not, you have to admit, he keeps it entertaining. Well presented film pieces, seamless segues into the race itself when Croft takes over, plus he's a really good commentator. All in all, BBC have an extremely professional team.
