    Mercedes are still amateurs when it comes to strategies.

    They're absolutely rubbish on strategy. Apparently damage on the floor to Ham, but still... they dumped him in traffic that he could have avoided.

    Happy for Nico. Well deserved reward for being a good Mercedes ambassador.

    Going unrecgonised how Massa is KO'ing Bottas this season. Valtteri maybe not the driver we expect him to be.

    Going to take a serious change in form to stop Rosberg now.

    And luck. Rosberg hasn't had a challenge yet. He is driving well but he is having it handed to him so far.

    Rosberg's on a massive run without actually doing anything impressive.

    Not sure about that. Six wins in a row.

    Seb genuinley admires Kimi. Heartwarming to see him go up and reconcile with him like that.

    I really don't think Vettel has anything to apologize for. He had nowhere to go at all.

    All by default really. Hamilton didn't care anymore after winning the title last season and is now having atrocious luck.

    Combine that with being in the most dominant team in history and boom six wins in a row whilst doing nothing, he just has to keep the car on the track.

    He's doing exactly what he needs to. That's all you can do to win a title.

    Hmmm… I'm talking about this year though. Hamilton's race one was over after a poor start, race two a collision and race three an engine change. Admittedly he could have recovered better in race one, but for the most part Nico has just had to drive away in the lead and stay there. For the sake of the championship I hope he starts to have to fight for it a bit soon.

    Im 50:50 to be honest. It stems from Qualifying had they not bottled it there we wouldn't be in this position. I say this as one Ferrari fan to another.
