    Great race from start to finish.

    Vet did a superb job taking the lead and holding off Bot for the entire race.

    Kimi once again Sunday driving until Ham caught him when he probably woke up for at least 5 whole minutes. Potentially his most intense day of work all year.

    Superb racing from Ham and Ricci with loads of great over takes throughout the grid.

    Nice tussle between Alo and Massa - hard and fair all race long.

    And finally - another true to form disaster from Stroll. Utterly useless and surely the worst driver of this century? I know Gorsjean is close to his level of incompetence but his performance today was just exceptionally bad.

    We can liquidize him but that may be a little extreme

    Nothing heroic about passing mostly slow cars and with DRS at that.....

    I don't think Grosjean is bad really, he just whinges a lot and seems incapable of comprehending many things. Though he does suck in the way that he can't get his head round the brakes.

    But yes Stroll is absolutely useless.

    Kimi on the podium looks like he's attending a funeral.

    He's a fast guy, not amazing but pretty fast.

    I seem to remember a lot of support of people here wanting him at Ferrari not long ago, lol.

    Must say now we're on the subject, I'm impressed with Sainz's performance compared to Hulkenberg.

    Sorry but this guy has some MENTAL ISSUES. He needs a psychological coach or something.

    Great race by Seb and Kimi! Well done by Felipe and Alonso bringing their cars home in the points above where the cars deserved to finish. Disappointing race by Bottas, best car on the grid and not much fight in him. Hamilton had a nice drive, but had to continue the Nigel Mansell drama queen routine. Glad that Massa and Rubens got to be on the podium, Massa has to be one of the classiest guys on the grid. Hoping the Scuderia can take it to the silver arrows next year and bring the WDC and WCC back where they belong. Forza Ferrari!

    What Ruebens should be saying to Stroll:

    "Massa is faster than you. Massa is faster than you!"

    The top 4 drivers not counting him could have done the same with his car.

    Passng the podium finishers would have been the tough part.

    No Brazilian flag for Felipe? That was kind of strange at the end of the race, and especially at home. Lots of times someone hands Seb a Ferrari or German flag or Ham, a British flag, during the cool down lap.

    Guy with the best job in the world:

    The guy who gets to select the Microphone girls at the Brazilian GP. :)

    And... he's doing a great job. Keep him around another year.

    Well, he did have a huge advantage, by being able to set his aero specifically for race day, with lower downforce than the cars who were set for qualifying weather.

    The story is how well Kimi was able to out-drive him in sector 2.
    With more downforce, the Ferraris simply out-handled the Mercs, even though Merc still has the big horsepower.

    And it's a bit of a condemnation of Tilke tracks: Brazil lets the handling package shine, where power rules the newer venues.

    Absolutely and I never wanted him in Ferrari, mind you. I've always hated his excessive whinging and sense of entitlement

    Alonso can whine and still drive fast. Grosjean cannot.

    The NBC guys got one thing today --- you have to be really careful when you tell Grosjean information. It screws up his driving.
