    Deffo seems to be in gear change. Too much torque and this one looked similar to last week. Decent 1st gear then slow down and lose ground in 2nd or 3rd.

    Rosberg's screwed now. Mclaren assured he was not going to get by. He's done.

    This race will confirm the championship I think.

    Dunno. Watching Rosberg onboard in Hungary last week, the car just lurched as soon as a dropped the clutch. At that point the start was blown. Want to see on board again today.

    Wonder if Hamilton is using 1/3rd of his engine or 1/4.

    Rosberg just push verstappen off. Was virtually stopped though.... so.... prob lost time on the pit stop pushing.

    Aggressive finally.

    For me it's a step too far again. Running him out of road on the exit is one thing but to push him out by being practically straight at the corner is to far.

    Have to admit I have not seen it , but IMHO some of these drivers would not last 5 minutes 10 years ago .

    Total bull.. that's a total disgrace. It's a good pass. If Hamilton did it then it would be called genius.

    If verstappen did it.. genius...

    I consider this kindergarten now. Total rubbish

    On the line for Rosberg, minor penalty or nothing would have been acceptable. Just one of those that splits opinion.

    I didn't have a major problem with it, but it's a move thats not paying off for him, so he might want to reconsider it.

    The stewards have all the data so I guess they were able to determine Nico did push Max off the track by choice.

    Missed first half, unblocking loo!!!!! I assume I didn't miss much?
