Rosberg throwing a wee strop isn't going to help his chances going forward...

Superb stuff from Lewis, and the STR boys too!

In all honesty, Rosberg deserved to win this race. He had every bit of advantage he had, first the 10s and then the better pit strategy, erased by the safety cars. He would not have won the championship, but we must remain fair and if he did not have bad luck would have won this race.

Hamilton not being very classy throwing the 2nd place cap at Rosberg... That just screams ratchet.

He may well have won if he hadn't screwed up and went off, which is his problem, he seems to have a habit of making mistakes when Lewis puts him under pressure.

Just like Lewis handed the win to him at Monaco don't you think. What goes around...

Toto Wolff had a smug, just after Rosberg made a mistake at the end of the race, allowing Hamilton to win the race.

All the while, it appears that Hamilton is the preferred driver for Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda. Sigh. :?

Gene Haas was interviewed by Sky yesterday and said he was excited to see how Ferrari got on as the engine this week would to all intents and purposes be the one starting 2016.
They had "reliabilty" upgrades, but they still have 4 tokens to spend in next 3 races and they know on what to spend it (according to their engine lead).

But anyway, I don't think engine was a problem today. Ferrari hung there (in dry) better then anywhere else this season and Merc was giving full beans at the end of the race.

He would have if he hadn't thrown it away.

Great race! Super performances by a lot of drivers: Vettel, Verstappen, Rosberg, Hamilton, Sainz, Button, Perez, Rossi

Looked more like Hamilton trying to give him it, since he threw it to him, landing in his lap. Nico throwing it at Lewis' head appeared somewhat more classless to me anyway.

Cracking race! Congratulations to Hamilton and his 3rd WDC. All of them (Ros, Ham and Vet) had their opportunities to win this one. I was surprised Vet couldn't make it to the end on the primes, and Ros showed again that he really needs to lift his game to be at the top at the end of the season. A simple error but I think it was a telling one given the race situation. Ultimately though I think it would only have prolonged the inevitable.

The hat incident was a bit petulant from both IMO. We all know that hat had a big '2nd' on the side, Lewis knew it and Rosberg bit. Paddy Lowe looked less than impressed by Nico's reaction.

Well done Lewis Hamilton - World Divers' Champion 2015. =D>
