    A worthy statistic that will soon be forgotten by the Rosberg fans.

    Just so happy Vettel didn't win a single race this year, and Championship for that matter! But I'm also down with Lewis Hamilton winning his second championship.

    Alonso said to Sky something along the lines "I'm joining a long term relationship with a new project looking to challenge the Mercedes power unit."

    Can't get much more obvious than that, can it?

    I have heard the same. The only thing for certain I know of is their injection system will finally be 500bar which Bosch and Mercedes developed. Such a high level of fuel atomization will yield even more torque and in sure they other things up their sleeves too.

    Except Massa already got 14 laps out of options when the car was full of fuel.

    15 laps at the end with light fuel would be fairly easy --- even pushing the first ten.

    Yes, they'd have been worn at the end, but so would Ham's primes.
    And Merc would be screaming for Ham to not do something stupid.

    I can't take another season like this! That said, MB are and always have been my team so I cannot be too upset. Honda will have those hands full with Williams but neither will touch MB is my guess.

    FA on camera with SKY saying he is looking for new results. He mentioned Massa leaving Ferrari last year and FA saw him on the podium today. He said that is what he is looking for.

    He just mentioned he should be joining a project to challenge Mercedes. No idea at all who that is lol! :)

    SKY speculating on the paddock show after the FA interview that FA is part of the 'who will be the team mate' decision. They think he is trying to have some control of that - FA is. After today how can Mclaren not take JB.

    F-pilot celebrate it. Its F1 history and they have made the effort. I do think they should allow or be more open to competition and allow some thaw of the engine freeze. I do understand why they dont of course.

    Last year they outsmarted themselves going for aero advantage over powertrain. Let's hope that the new braintrust gets their priorities right.
    Too many times you get screwed by fighting the previous war.

    It's not sour grapes; I happen to prefer Rosberg.

    I'd like to see someone figure out what the points would have been if they hadn't been doubled for this race.....

    Yes. Let's hope that they made no difference and that the whole thing will be forgotten.

    Bottas took advantage of that. Would have been 6th instead of 4th

    Prince Harry has to be very PR, that's what is expected from him.
    I just speak my mind. You have an issue with that?

    Congrats to Hamilton on a great race and a brilliant season!

    Just wanted to comment on this - :confused: it WAS publicized and well known throughout the season. Not just Hamilton, both drivers ignored orders to adjust engine modes - it was Rosberg in Bahrain, not Hamilton - but that was publicly discussed by Wolff and Mercedes on a few occasions. Here's a James Allen article from June 2 where this was mentioned, for just one example: Hamilton makes up with Rosberg ? long term fix or elastoplast? | James Allen on F1 ? The official James Allen website on F1

    Yes it's mind boggling to me to say the least...

    So I'll use someone else's mind...>

    A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But some would mudwrestle their own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn...;)
