So last stop and Lewis nowhere near close enough to do anything. Anyone got any wet paint I can watch dry?

EDIT: And what happened to going longer on tyres?

It wasn't a viable strategy. Hamilton wanted an extra stop or a change to soft or something. They offered nothing more than a tweak so I expect he's decides it's not worth it.

That was Crofty being utterly retarded. They pitted early to go long, not quite sure why they did such a short stint on mediums. Made a lot more sense to do another 5-10 laps on that last set of mediums then put on softs to the end. Some very strange strategy from Mercedes, very very strange.

All because Vettel pitted to go onto a three stop then Mercedes threw their tires out of the window in response.

I think that Hamilton may make a couple of comments in the press conference about strategy.

Yeah, while pointing at that lap he did in the last stint that was a second faster than Rosberg.

Rain? Gonna be too late to make it good.

Action? Where?

Max likes that round the outside of turn one manouvre

Vertigo · 15 Nov 2015 at 17:21

Lewis has given up.

Yep. Cleaner and tidier second time around.

lame old race, shame Lewis couldn't stick behind, but you have to tip your hat to rosberg recently, seems to have got his head sorted and racing well

Qualifying well. They haven't raced for a while.

Was that a practice session or actual race?

Vertigo · 15 Nov 2015 at 17:29

Can't wait to see if Rosberg mentions or even makes a deal about securing second in the championship.

As I said, a chimp could come second in a car that dominant and it's nothing to be proud of. Actually, that it's taken him until the penultimate race to do it is shocking really.

DNF's?

F1 racing is sooo boring these days.

As entertainment goes, that race was up there with watching paint dry.

I had it on while I'm pulling up the living room carpet. Pulling up carpet was definitely more exciting!

Default race...

Bit of an underwhelming race, but never mind, at least we're one step closer to this season being over.

Nico wraps up the dead rubber drivers championship with a race to spare, gives him great confidence in defending it in the last 3 races next season
