Lewis Hamiton+Needing 8 engines=Tainted title for Nico.

Hamiltons engine exploding in Malaysia HAS directly handed the title to Rosberg that now cannot even be debated because Hamilton HAS out scored his team mate and has won the last 3 races since and STILL Rosberg can win the title with a 3rd.

Indeed, both Ferraris wrecked, basically. I am still amazed Vettel didn't wreck a second time. Watching him skate around was worth the price of admission.

Did ANY driver ever sound happy on Inters? Was pit lane getting a deal on Inters? :P

Seems like he has listened to the criticism the last races. Or does it just seem that way since he didn't have to defend himself today?
He really was flying out there, so close to crashing out quite a few times but didn't. Amazing performance indeed =D>
- So was Rosberg once and no one fainted ;-) Different reactions to the same event are symptomatic,
. Very nice drive but overtaking cars +2 s slower in no grip wet (Merc and RB in the different league) doesn't deserve this overreaction, "schooled" - hardly, not after the spin when Rosberg was avoiding any wheel-to wheel. Pitting for intermediates and SC affected the race in different direction.
- Ferrari (car) surprisingly slow.
Can someone translate this for me please?

I'm a fan of Mad Max, but today i must say he is a better wet weather driver than most on the grid apart from maybe Lewis and Hulk. The redbull is definitely the better chassis on the grid under braking, traction, and cornering in the wet, but Max walked around Ricciardo in the same car, on only 2 laps younger tyres. Amazing race from him, and he will be fighting for the championship next year.
Max has schooled Nico the whole year, it kinds of put perspective on how deserving Nico is of the WDC. Every race i can expect max to overtake Nico, Nico is that much less of a race than Max and Daniel. I was thoroughly entertained today.
Lucky Nico again avoided being beating by both redbulls for the third race in a row.

Comfortable win for Lewis, the merc wasnt better in the wet today, but i feel he would have easily managed going toe to toe with the redbulls.
Great drives from Nasr, Hulk, Perez, Fernando and even Ocon. A Special mention for Vettel as the ferrari is showing to be a wild bronco, its very hard to control. Vettel was fighting the car the whole race.

Finally, Hamilton will basically cement his legend even further with this win, and possible future wins and poles in the next couple years. I don't think he will have as many wins as Shumacher, but he will surpass him in poles and possibly other little stats.
For Sure!!

Whats the difference between Vettel and the turbine in his car? After the race the turbo stops whinning!

The Mercedes was quicker...Hamilton pulled away from Max after Max passed Rosberg. Hamilton was cruising at the front and still left Rosberg behind.

Both Hamilton and Max are good rain drivers.
I hope they can battle it out one race.

Yet Rosberg is going to win a title purely on the back of Hamiltons engine failures. The fact that Hamilton has managed to take it to the last race is damning for Rosberg.

That's obvious. Unless there is a person who is watching and doesn't see that. In which case their eyes are clearly painted on.

Hamilton is normally very good in the rain but if the RedBull was faster than the Mercedes, Hamilton must have driving sensationally to pull away from Max.

The Mercedes was probably as good as the RedBull and Hamilton was probably quicker than Max.

Well yes, but, a world championship isn't about who's the fastest driver, it's about who has the most points in a season (and a few years in the past after deducting your worst results).

The driver with the most points is the worthy champion. Ingredients almost every year what it takes are good driving, a good car and a bit of luck.

So far Hamilton had an unlucky year and Rosberg a lucky.

Worthy?

It's actually damning that Rosberg hasn't sown it up already. He has been in by far the best car with a team mate who has had to race with one hand tied behind his back due to his team's inability to give him a reliable car whilst Rosberg's car has been almost bullet proof.
You could use many words to describe Rosberg's title but worthy will never be one of them.

If Rosberg does win, it will be just like his fathers championship luck, not skill.
