    Carlos silly for bringing it back onto the circuit. Should have stayed on the grass with a wheel loose.

    Atrocious Grand Prix is this. What a crap way to end a season.

    We all need to pray that Renault build a competitive PU next season or it will be 5th season in a row where we are watching paint dry :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Oh, and another year of Kimi Raikonnen.

    Stroll had a good battle with the Hass but not an exciting race. I was hoping everyone would run engines at max.

    Maybe they are. Perhaps that’s the problem as you see the true power discrepancies.

    Bit of a boring race. Alonso v Massa was decent, and the back of the pack race looked like it could be interesting, Wehrlein should've let K Mag beat him to the DRS line.

    once you realised Hamilton had lost?


    well, Jasper's happy, and, after sifting through the post poll closure, Eddie seems to have gone for Bottas too.

    Channel 4 seem to be having lots of digs at Ferrari for not talking to them!!!
    I think C4 should be talking to some of the other teams, seems like they just talk to Merc, and Red Bull. OK so I know they are the top teams but I would like to hear from more of the teams.

    I’m always saying what a lovely chap Charlie Whiting is.

    A fairly fitting end to a mediocre season at best. The season had some potential that just never really showed up and just fizzled out by the end.

    Here's hoping that we get an on-track championship fight next season. Next!

    I think they have the same deal next year, it's after that, 2019, that sky have sole rights.

    At first glance Vandoorne seems hardest done by, but Hartley being 4th worst after the fewest GP's says a lot about Renault
