So, the tyres. On the downside - they robbed us from seeing Hamilton win at home. On the plus side - they stopped us seeing Vettel win.
No they didn't, Vettel's tires were fine.

Vettel would have nearly had a 50 point lead if he didn't break down it would have been championship over alrdy.

That was a drive failure, not tyres.

Eh?
Vettel has a *possible* gearbox fail, nothing to do with tyres.

Basically Hamilton's the best driver ever and would've won every race and Championship had it not been for other drivers finishing ahead of him, weather and non finishes.

Basically, how it works is that the winner of the race gets 25 points. The 2nd place guy gets 18 points. And so on. What that usually means is that the winner has done better than the guy in 2nd place. And so on. Over the course of a season, the guy with the most points wins the championship.

Lol Webber soaking the girls
How would you decide the championship then?
Gap in qualifying clearly. Like that means much.
your hamilton hate is strong.
Just pretend they don't exist till next feb.

His point being directed to those who look only at points to decide the relative merits of a driver - as demonstrated today, they don't tell the whole story of a race weekend and so relying on them as a measure of driver skill is flawed.
Rosberg won today and got 25 points but arguably only because of two equipment failures that afflicted two people who would likely have finished ahead of him, does that make him a better driver than them or merely luckier on the day?
LOL at Webber spraying the girls.
Can't blame him for trying to hose those munters off the podium.
