Great result for the championship sure, but let's not act that was some fantastic drive, circumstances were in his favour.
Exactly, the rest is something you´ve created in your head i think.

I think looking at it again, Vettel was moving left on the track (look at the rubber lines) stroll was moving right and they touched.

Stroll is a rookie, should give these guys more room
It is a left turn :)
He was moving left on the track. The track goes left yes, but he was moving closer to the left edge than the right. You can see on the rubber lines Simba

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Did he really got rekt?
The mercedes was clearly the third fastest car today and he came home with 2nd place.
If that´s your definition of getting rekt im a little bit confused.
The fastest car had to come up through the grid let's overlook that...
Nobody is overlooking that. But the third fastest car still managed to secure 2nd place.
For Mercedes this is almost as good as a win.
They extended both championships in a race where they were not even close to be the fastest car.

"but they got rekt" yea if you´re delusional.
I think the worrying aspect is how quick that Ferrari is and how bad the Mercedes is when it fails to hit its operating window....
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

Slow speed accident ripping off a rear wheel? That can only happen if one is turning left and the other turning right.

Always find the gap then use it.

I think if it continues in Japan Mercedes should start to worry. If Mercedes works the tires better in Japan (also with harder compounds? and cooler conditions) then i don´t think Mercedes has anything to worry about.

Yeah like I said, both at fault, and Vettel should be above that.

"Gubu" is the word for that final collision.
Grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented.

Well done to Max and Red Bull! Also impressive Ricci still got so much pace with that floor having damage.

Damage control from Mercedes and Ferrari should look in the mirros when they loose the WDC.
Everybody is a Ferrari fan.

Vettel was behind, it's his job not to crash in to the car in front when overtaking, Stroll wouldn't have known where Vettel was and what he was doing until it was too late.
Stroll hit Vettel, not the other way around. Vettel was a half a car in front when Stroll hit him. Stroll just did not turn left in a left hand corner.
It's not under racing conditions, so overtaking rules don't apply. Cars always go off the racing line on the cool down, there's no need to close someone down that fast and close the door. It was just silly.

Just look at the video Silent Storm put up. You don't get it do you?
