I have to say that I was a little disappointed when I read that announcement.  I was hoping for a more exciting season for Ferarri next year.  So two no.1 drivers would have been just the ticket.  Now I'm hoping Rosberg stays at Merc.

I saw the lewis lap was deleyed he was with all 4 wheels out of track havent seen this for long time

[tokeweed]

Another race in the bag by Lewis Hamilton, barring any bad luck (and bad decisions made) during the race of course. 

I feel sorry for Rosberg.  I think it would be better for him to go.  The question is where?  Kimi just signed a new contract, and Daniel Ricciardo doesn't look like he'll be leaving RBR.  Or he could if Merc come calling.  They could swap drivers. 

Azguard, what do you think of a Hamilton - Ricciardo partnership at Merc and a Rosberg - Verstappen partnership at RBR?

i think is hamilton can win british series, not bad luck lewis hamilton can win,
and i hope hamilton luck can win in hombase homeground circuit

[tokeweed]

Hamilton should win this barring any unlucky event or someone crashing into him.  The weather could also be a factor.  The cooler the track, the more advantageous for Redbull.  We could see Max Verstappen winning a race again.

[marioantonini]

Not is possible, Ferrari lose 1,6 second for lap, this is really unacceptable and already Sebastian broke the 3 gear and lose another time 5 position. I think request fired any worker, because last year ferrari win 3 race  , now 0 and redbull 1

[Dux2K]

Man when will we see race full start in rain without safety car

[azguard]

Man when will we see race full start in rain without safety car

safety is how first priority so wont wont see race in rain only behind safety car
also so far no one got penalty on this race but i saw at least 10 in box and max changing race line twice and that is not allowed

I have a bet pending as I bet the winner to be Nico Rosberg (with hamilton not counting toward the race or him being out meaning not counting in this bet). Apparently bet is a win but a message that the team sent Nico Rosberg about to not use the 7th gear or he risked to get the car turned off is in investigation. Now when will the verdict take place and can they add to him - seconds which will result in a loss of my bet ? I hope no but this stewards will do anything to ruin Nico Rosberg already ruined race.

[BitcoinSupremo]

Damn I lost my bet, goodbye 0.12 BTC winning from the gay stewards which decided as follows :

The FIA statement read:

“Having considered the matter extensively, the Stewards determined that the team gave some instructions to the driver that were specifically permitted under Technical Directive 014-16.

“However, the Stewards determined that the team then went further and gave instructions to the driver that were not permitted under the Technical Directive, and were in breach of Article 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, that the driver must drive the car alone and unaided.”

I knew the pigs will do anything to favor Red Bull always always and always. They just hate the Mercedes team and damn I lost a lot today.

has there been any information on the american that is suppose to try and be in F1 in the next few years?

to many errors were made in that race and i didnt see many punishment in pits (first change for all team) max changing racing lane
this race was disaster from start i dont think to get rude or something but the more i think the more i get confused
think that they wanted that lewis wins and nico to get penalty, and for the rest what vettel got 5 sec
i dont know how do now they give penalties

[lrdeoliveira]

frankly I'm very sad about how  became the formula 1. It's not a real race, all strategy and if there's some rain the start is ridicolous whit the safety car. It has become a parade of cars
