Massa has much better pace in the 2nd stint, should impose team order I think, y not let massa try to attack ocon? Wrong strategy!

If massa failed to pass, may give him back the position for his father's money

Congratulations to the Silver Arrows, a great result and a nice Le Mans style photo op for their fans at the end. Contratuations as well to Ferrari for managing to make something out of yesterday's poor showing and getting Vettel on the podium. Sorry to see him lose his WDC at home but they'll bounce back in Singapore, we know that.

Great holding on to what they could by the youngsters Ocon and Stroll, they drove a very mature and controlled race.

Gratzi a tutti!

Lewis stated the obvious. Mercedes PU better than Ferrari PU.

Man, I even had time to sleep a little bit, it was truly a boring a race.

I could expect a 1-2 from Mercedes but not such a great domination. RB was even faster than them which is quite surprising and worrying for Ferrari.

One has to wonder... if Verstappen hadnt ruined his own race... he could have been on that podium for sure.

Very very consistent and good drive by Dan though.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Agreed Carinni, why they didn't at least give Massa a crack... Too conservative. Massa hasn't got the greatest history with regards to overtakes, but at least give him a go. Nothing to lose with 10 to go. But that last lap scrap was amateur hour.

Great win from Lewis and a perfect weekend from Mercedes all round. Big gap to Ferrari even with the engine turned down early, Red Bull were fast but on inverted strategy.

With no penalties you'd have to say vettel would have been 5th. When Horner said they will out score Ferrari in the 2nd half, i didnt take it serious. But now i believe him.

Yup, those Renault-powered RBR's were quicker than Ferrari on a high-speed track like Monza. And RBR is supposed to excel at high-downnforce tracks...
