Report him for lying ? Grow up Kido

I don't know where you grew up, but I was taught that lying is actually very immature.
We can call it cultural differences if you think it's ok to defend lying, but I can't respect you for it.

fair enough, enjoy your day.... oh wait, you wont after sebs performance today.

Unlike some people here, I enjoy good races regardless of how my favorite drivers perform.

One disappointing result that can be obtained from this race is that we have a more dominating team than we used to see in the last seasons.

True, but atleast the Drivers are given equal chances, and are allowed to fight

So Mercedes was able to lap 2 seconds faster than the rest.
This really makes you wonder if all Mercedes team get the same power unit.

They all get the same basic PU, but the packaging is up to each team. Mercedes have been working on this car for a LOT longer than its customers, its designed from the ground up for this engine.

Next to races are Chna and Barcelona, things should be a lot closer there.

Ferraris pu worst of all, its the weakest in all areas

Except rai was pulling from both RBs on the straight when they were head on.

rosberg backed off for the last 3-5 laps, that much was clear.

It looked that way to me, too.

Like someone else said, I think he tried a couple of times, and understood Hamilton wasn't going to go out without a fight, and he chose to settle for second rather than risking a DNF.

Still, I think Hamilton's defense was epic!

Massa had a great race, it sucks that the SC ruined it for him and Bottas.

No matter what others may say, Ricciardo beat Vettel fair and square, the latter admitted as much in the post-race interview.

Glad to see Perez on the podium, that should at least temporarily silence his detractors. And it's not like Hulk didn't battle him for it.

I feel for Gutierrez, to be taken out of the race like that, even if he wasn't anywhere near a points finish.

Montezemolo is good at shifting blame, but he is responsible for this Ferrari's mess. I feel for Alonso, he must have all but given up on this team.

And McLaren is the only Mercedes-powered team to DNF.

In fairness a lot of champions were champion in the best car, but not all. The rules and tyres suited vettel, and he had the best car every time. This year they dont and he doesnt, and he isnt even close to winning.

Vettel is a myth. Obvious team bias towards him, unbelievable "bad luck" happening every other race to his teammate, flexi wings, ride hight adjusters, diffusers........and now it's all gone, and he's just another good driver mid pack driver.

4 times world champion *****************************

You do have some issues man. What's wrong?

[Spacepace]

These forums really need to stop being about favorite drivers. I thought this site was called f1techincal

China will be the same with the long straight, Barcelona will be closer but I think Merc proved today just how good their car is dynamically and aerodynamically so I wouldn't expect it to be too much closer.

If Stefano Domincalli was running your team into the ground week by week, you'd probably have some issues too.

I do believe one of Hamilton's engineers said around 5 laps to go that he could start using the overtake button out of corners only when needed.

Sky F1 said it was very possible that the soft tyres went off in the last 3 laps, hence why Rosberg drop litte in those last laps

They're aerodynamically inefficient as well in my opinion. They have reasonable downforce but only with lots of drag.
