We don't know how the race would have unfold if the accidents of the beginning of the race would have not happened. Those accidents put out of play at least seven drivers so the total number of drivers finishing the race today was about fifteen and in fifteen drivers for sure Lewis Hamilton has won a lot going from penultimate spot to the third place. Perfect performance but helped by luck. Same with Alonso, he was lucky enough because Felipe Massa was so slow and by the time he let Bottas pass Alonso was 1.5 seconds away for just 2 laps and he kept it for 2 laps. I think Mclaren have improved but if you compare it to other teams their engine is lacking big time here.

Yeah, because he's a beast and he drives for the best team. I mean he finishes in podium positions for most of his races, how sick is that!

finally this week I saw the Ferrari competitive. Unfortunately Verstappen ruined Raikkonen and Vettel 's race .Excellent race for Hamilton and Alonso but I am convinced that both Ferrari could get on the podium this week.
 I'm confident for the next GP of Italy at Monza.

I say it again lewis and fernando play great on this race
They use right moment and believe that alonso would be better if he had better engine

[smho_16]

Next race is Monza and there will be no history at all at this race, I declare Mercedes as the winner of this race too since its a power hungry circuit where you run for more than 65% of the track in full throttle. Every other team can do very little to not let this happen. Its a sure bet, Mercedes to win this race although the odd will be very low since Mercedes has almost won all of the races so far.

during mclaren can't competitif car fernando alonso can't maximal prestage, to posistion 3 podium is very dificult
especially for to winner race, you can compare fernando alonso to juson button , button is nothing point

Perfect race from Fernando Alonso keeping behind 2 williams and 1 ferrari. I didn't expect that to happen with the massive deficit of the Honda engine power. Really well done to Mclaren for their perfect aerodynamics as Alonso was faster than those guys in the medium sector of the track. Still a long way to go.

i couldn't agree more if he had better engine he would be far better but this is for me at least deserve price for best driver of this race

Another really disaster from Ferrari, not only for the start with accident, but because later finish only 6th and 9th.
Ferarri don't finish to podium from 4 race, 0 win this year, the work of Arrivabene i think finish soon

Its not Maurizio Arrivabene fault that Ferrari have 0 wins this year. Its just that other teams have worked better than Ferrari so far. Even Mclaren gave them a challenge in the Belgian GP. Kimi Raikkonen could not pass Felipe Massa which had all the tyres degraded to the maximum possible extent. Not all the fault can be given to a certain person just like not all credit can be given to certain person. Its team work here and when is not working is the fault of everyone.

I just watched the replay of the race.  That crash of Magnussen was really brutal.  You could clearly see the head restraint, which was supposed to support the driver's head, fly off with other debris.  And when Hamilton was informed about it via radio, he immediately asked if the driver was ok.  That guy is class.

I used to like Max Verstappen because I know he could be a F1 superstar one day, but with the kind of borderline reckless driving he's been showing lately makes me want to root for other drivers behind him.  All it takes is one big crash for that guy to learn his lesson.

Good news for change Michael Schumacher has made first step by his own after that skiing accident
this is good hope to see him next year on some race with at least some stick as help

Did Hamilton win the F1 Racing series championship this year?
I keep checking online when doing a search and I only get results for select races that completed but not the overall winner of the season.
The F1 season is over yet isn't it?

[tokeweed]

Nope, it's not over yet.  The last race is on October 30 in Mexico. Right now Hamilton is leading the driver's championship but it's close.  Nico Rosberg is trailing behind with only 9 points down.  This is gonna be an exciting tail end of the season with only 6 races to go.  But I think Hamilton will edge Rosberg out in the end.

Gp of Italy in Monza is safe, reached an agreement with Ecclestone for the next three years , to 68M of€. The figure it seems exaggerated , but Ecclestone had threatened to cancel this gp. t really is a shame that a historical Gp risk of being deleted for blackmail of a rich old man.
