Lewis he was coasting for pretty much 2/3'rds of the race.
Rosberg. Done well to recover but someone needs to tell him to stay calm and not act like a 10 year old on forza. Could've easily wiped them both out due to locking up like that.
Bit gutted the tyres were so good tbh.

Putin in that room with the drivers. Bit weird. Thought lewis was gonna ignore him at first.
The grid girls are seriously hot.

Bernie was like putins little lap dog. I bet they paid a fortune to hold the F1
Fairly boring after Rosbergs screw up. Rosberg did amazingly well to get it back but the majority of it was the car, he just breezed past cars that barely put up any defence to his overtakes
Ted was saying how an Asphalt person tweeted in saying the reason they lasted so long was because the surface is so new it's still the tar surface rather than the stones that normally wear the tyres ie next year it might be different if the track gets more use

I've read that Russia paid/pay $25m per year somewhere. May be wrong...

Quite fancy one, although at just over £30, I don't want to buy it to find out it doesn't fit properly, so not sure whether to get M or L.

Slid for about 50-60m apparently.

Why is there already a flatspot on his right front? I thought he locked up the once and slid the whole way?

I'm sure you can work it out for yourself.

He would have been lifting to reduce sliding but would have been so quick it probably wouldn't have even registered.

Cheers mate. Are you now an armchair F1 fan after defecting from your beloved Football team now that they've become pants?

Also, i've read that mercedes gave each of their 700 staff at Brackley a £10,000 bonus after winning the constructors title!
Now that's a proper incentive to work harder. We get a voucher for a Christmas dinner if we hit our targets

Honda staff used to get 1k per race win too iirc, and as it's pretty much the same team I bet there are some bloated wallets now.

No wonder they fucked with Rosberg's steering column wiring after he cost them a grand in Belgium then
