    ...and there is the fk up....the sport has lost it! Totally inconsistent, and rules that insight drivers to blatantly cheat! I'm disgusted in this sport.

    On a brighter note, that moment between Seb and Ricciardo was pretty cool.

    Charlie is a disgrace! He has lost control of this sport.

    Wtf are you lot on? I'm out, because it seems that Vettel syndrome is a real thing and it's spreading. I don't want the lurgies.

    It was rumoured that Charlie was planning to give up the role a few months back, this may be the straw that broke the camels back.

    Charlie has been playing favourites for a while, though actually who pulls the strings? If the WDC goes to Abu Dhabi the advertising revenues will stay high

    yep. the realisation that getting back to the top seems a long way away.

    stewards were a joke today. two identical incidents, different results.

    HOWEVER, READ THIS TO ALL MOANERS. It made no difference to the result. Hamilton's penalty would have been a 5 sec time penalty, so he still would have won.

    so quit whining bitches!

    its all about the money no doubt.

    the racing has generally been poor, so they need a season final decider to make people carry on watching.

    Well at least thanks to Seb we have something to discuss! Without that little outburst it'd just be a two page thread with "That was ****" as the only comment.

    This calendar is way too long, drivers getting very irate with each other. Just feeds into the hands of the media who pedal **** stories.

    Sky full throttle against Seb now, in their niche.

    I was hoping it would be a good race, but there wasn't much going on anywhere, it's too hard to overtake anywhere other than the DRS straight, altering the final corner has ruined it as a race track imo.

    In my eyes Max and Lewis are both in the wrong today. Both should have been punished not just the one after the GP finished. Inconsistency, bias and corrupt decisions. The FIA has a lot to answer for.

    the last one, I'm not sure if he was defending against Danny or attacking the inside of Max, a bit reminiscent of the "Massa incident" at Canada in '14, without the spectacular crash ofc.
